The Jeremy Kyle Show has been banned from hospital TV screens amid concerns its violent and shocking scenes were upsetting patients.

Bosses at Fazakerley Hospital, Liverpool, have ordered all waiting room sets be tuned to the BBC after complaints about the programme's inappropriate content.

They said the ITV1 show - previously branded a 'human form of bear baiting' - was not conducive to providing a 'calm atmosphere'.

The chatshow has gained notoriety in recent times for its risque topics, unpredictable guests and violent outbursts on set.

But, it seems, debates such as 'My husband slept with my daughter' and 'A one night stand on CCTV' were too much for patients recuperating from illness or waiting for loved ones at the Merseyside NHS trust.

'Some patients were getting quite upset by shows like Jeremy Kyle and they mentioned it to the managers,' a hospital source said.
