Jerry Springer is returning to the small screen in the U.S. to help members of the public find love on a new dating show.

The talk show star will front Baggage, which gives three contestants the chance to win a date by revealing their bad habits.

Springer says, "(It's) just fun and lighthearted. There's no life-changing issues. I'm like the crazy old uncle. People feel comfortable telling me their secrets, that I won't be judgemental."

The show is set to debut in America on 19 April.
