Jeremy's return to TV has been confirmed
The recent reports followed backlash and viewer outrage after Channel 4's exposing documentary, Death on Daytime, aired earlier this month. The programme explored Jeremy's former chat show, which was axed in 2019 following the death of one of its previous guests named Steve Dymond.

He began: "Let's just deal with the elephant in the room straight away - couple of texts already talking about a certain programme that was on television last night.
"Yes, I am fully aware. I will say only this, my friends, to you. I have maintained a consistent approach over the last three years."
The TV star continued: "I have said that I will not comment on the tragic death of Steve Dymond until the legal process has finished and that is a position I will maintain.
"When - and trust me, there will be a time after the inquest, when it is right and proper for me to have my say, because there are, of course, two sides to every single story - I will do it here and I will do it to you, and that is the most important thing."
