Natasha Reddican
- Producer
Natasha Reddican was a TV producer who died by suicide on 27 February 2020 at the age of 31.
Natasha "such impressive potential", died nine months after the ITV show The Jeremy Kyle was axed following the suicide of Steve Dymond, who had appeared on the show as a guest days earlier; the episode was never broadcast.
Reddican's boyfriend and colleague on the show , Mackenzie Hanafan said the circumstances of the program being taken off air were "something that weighed on her mind a lot".
Senior Coroner for Manchester West, Timothy Brennand, said at the inquest into Natasha's death that the motivations for her actions appeared "multi-faceted" but he noted that it had been described to him that her job on The Jeremy Kyle Show was seen as "being a family at work such was the close-knit community of those involved". Mr Brennand continued it was a "tragic and harrowing case" involving a young woman with "such impressive potential. She was a local girl made good with a high work ethic who worked her way up from a modest post to become a producer on a well-known television production."
