I think this is where you fail to understand Britain. No one claimed it was ironic and unlike Jerry Springer they didn't fake stuff. British reality tv is simply hateful and the point was that the viewers viewed the people on the show with open contempt.
British reality tv is simply deeply meanspirited, we get a lot of reality tv related suicides.
it's not unique in British reality tv but it might be the worst.
for example One direction got famous on a reality tv show singing competition the first episode of which is basically devoted to mocking the mentally ill for deludedly thinking they can sing
also you get it the point is contempt and cruel mockery
the jerremy kyle show never once claimed to be ironic
