Jeremy Kyle not expecting US "snobbery"

Jeremy Kyle has predicted that he will not have to face much "snobbery" when he takes his talkshow to America.

The outspoken broadcaster landed a US TV deal earlier this year which will see him launch his issue-based programme across the pond.

Speaking to The Sun, Kyle commented: "There is less snobbery over there about a show like ours. And in America they have programmes where they entrap paedophiles and have the police waiting for them outside the doors - that is off the scale to anything we have done here.

"By comparison our shows will probably seem quite straightforward. Ours is a simple format and we'll approach it the same way wherever we film it - at home or abroad.

"I just hope an American audience can buy into another gobby Englishman trying to tell it as he sees it. It didn't seem to work for Jamie Oliver recently but then again it has all gone brilliantly for Simon Cowell."

Kyle recently confessed that he and his family have received death threats due to the controversy surrounding his show.
