Viewers have praised TV’s Jeremy Kyle for hosting a special episode dedicated to children suffering life-changing conditions.
He met the families of Alfie, Matilda, Daire, Kye and Charlie on the ITV show on Thursday, entitled “my children are inspirational”.
One particularly special moment saw grime star Stormzy send in a personalised message for his number one fan and keen musician, Matilda.
Big up to @Stormzy1 for giving Matilda the best personalised message! She loved it! #jeremykyle pic.twitter.com/x1PdRCZBpJ

During the programme, Kyle also spoke to wannabe TV star Alfie, horse-lover Daire, and a very cheerful Charlie, whose family are desperately trying to raise funds for him to receive specialist cancer treatment abroad.
For show fans, the “amazing” and “adorable” idea marked a welcome change from the programme’s usual line-up of relationship scandals, fights and lie detector tests.
Some even added that it helped give them some early morning perspective as they watched the families share their stories and, in some cases, talk about how it had brought them closer together.
As cute as it is when Jeremy Kyle is about kids who're inspirational. I want the drama and the lie detectors and the screaming 😂😩
