Jeremy Kyle joins TalkSport

Jeremy Kyle has signed up to present a weekly radio programme on TalkSport.

The talkshow host's Jeremy Kyle Sports Show will air on Sundays from midday to 2pm.

Earlier in his career Kyle presented shows on Birmingham's BRMB, Virgin Radio and GCap's network of local stations.

"Talk radio is my passion and TalkSport is the home of talk radio in the UK so I'm delighted at the prospect of having my own show on the station," he said. "Whilst I never set out to be controversial, I’ll be dealing with topics and debating subjects that are sure to put fire in the nation’s belly."

Programme director Moz Dee added: "We are really excited to have Jeremy on board at TalkSport. He is very passionate about speech radio and is a great operator in the medium."
