I'm Only Being Honest
Jeremy Kyle
I'm Only Being Honest
Straight-talking television presenter and recovering addict Jeremy Kyle takes a hard look at the social problems blighting modern Britain and seeks a route towards their solution. He stresses the need for the firm hand and unconditional love that seems so absent from certain young parents and questions the morals of those who see having children purely as a money-making exercise. And he maps out an agenda for change, insisting on the importance of personal responsibility and strong government in ironing out our nation’s creases. Recounting his own story, alongside the tales of the people from his often controversial show, Kyle delves into the shady, neglected corners of our society and surfaces with a spirited call-to-arms.

The Observer
Oliver Marre
“There's some hope that, in his first foray into print, Kyle might have done lasting damage to his brand and shown that it's time to shield the desperate from his hectoring and the baying audiences lined up behind him. Because, in the course of this 300-page attempt to prove there is social benefit to his TV appearances, Kyle has published the clearest warning against entering the bear pit in pursuit of brief fame you're ever likely to read.”
