Jeremy Kyle plans to marry his children's former nanny

The host of one of the country’s most controversial talk shows is about to raise eyebrows himself.

In a story that would be fitting for a slot on The Jeremy Kyle Show itself, Jezza, 52, plans to marry Vicky Burton, 36, after meeting 10 years ago.

It’ll be his third marriage, yet controversially the woman in question is actually his kids’ ex-nanny.

His children, aged 13, 10, and seven, were introduced to Vicky around a decade ago as their nanny, when the presenter was still happily married to second wife, Carla Germaine, who he met on a radio call-in in 1999, which saw her marry another caller for a brief period.

After that didn’t work out, Jeremy and Carla got together and were married themselves in 2002 and had three children together.

According to the Mirror, Carla cited reasons for divorce on grounds of his ‘unreasonable behaviour’, which saw an end to their 13-year marriage back in 2015.

Jeremy even admitted to his audience on one of his shows last year how he fails to heed his own wisdom. ‘I’m good at giving advice, not so good at applying it to my own life,’ he once said.

His relationship with Vicky wasn’t made public until a year ago, but he’d previously made a statement about how he and his former wife had gone their separate ways. ‘After 13 years of a generally happy marriage my wife and I, Carla, have separated amicably.

‘We have sadly grown apart over recent years and been living apart since earlier this ­summer.’

Having been the married couple’s nanny for years, Vicky has been on family holidays with them and their children, having previously been spotted on a beach in Barbados together.

Jeremy apparently popped the question to her in January of this year, during a romantic weekend away to Grenadines Islands in the Caribbean. A source via the Sun claims: ‘He chose the Grenadines because it’s a very romantic place and they’re ecstatically happy,’ and that ‘both sets of families are absolutely chuffed for them.’

‘Jeremy is completely loved up with Vicky – she’s put a smile back on his face.’ the source also says.

After three marriages (this one included), gambling addiction, a successful battle against cancer, and the controversy of getting together with the former nanny, perhaps he should dedicate an episode of his infamous talk show to himself.
