For all of you who don't know who Jeremy Kyle is, he's like a cross between Dr. Phil and Jerry Springer. He has a chatshow which is shown in Britain at about 9am on weekday mornings (no doubt to attract housewives who've just sent the kids off to school, although a lot of men like it too (myself included)).
He gets people on his show with various problems ("my 14-year-old is pregnant", "I'm addicted to plastic surgery", "my wife refuses to cook my dinner" etc). He lets them vent a bit, then he shouts at them like an angry teacher, and then he tries to get them help, solve the problems etc (unlike Springer, who winds them up and gets them to throw chairs at each other).
I do like the show, and I do like Jeremy Kyle, but after this little incident, slip-of-the-tongue or otherwise, I'll never quite respect him as much as I used to. I'm used to hearing about our kind getting bad publicity, but I wouldn't have expected it from somebody like this, who's supposed to be something of a role model. It'd be like reading the paper and seeing a photo of Jesus in a casino.
