Viewing figures drop
Strictly Come Dancing bosses are feeling the pressure after the latest episode received the lowest viewing figures for a first live show in the series' history. A peak of 6.7 million viewers tuned in on Saturday, a drop from 7.3 million the previous year and a high of 10.2 million in 2020.
Concerns and anxieties
The decrease in viewership follows a trend of poor ratings, raising concerns among executives. A TV insider revealed that the drop in viewership during the first live show is particularly worrying as the show heads into the first elimination round next week.
Importance of live figures
Strictly Come Dancing is known for providing a shared TV experience, where audiences come together to watch the show in real-time. The live figures are crucial to the BBC, and the network will be closely monitoring the situation to see if there is an increase in views on iPlayer to offset the on-the-night drop.
Outstanding performances and fan reactions
Despite the challenges, Saturday's episode showcased impressive performances, including Love Island star Tasha Ghouri and JLS star JB Gill, who topped the scoreboard. Blind comedian Chris McCausland also wowed viewers, with many praising his heartfelt routine.
Claudia Winkleman's style statement
Host Claudia Winkleman also made waves with her fashion choice, with viewers drawing comparisons between her outfit and Princess Leia from Star Wars. The show continues to spark discussions and capture the audience's attention.
Shifting TV landscape
The BBC emphasized that Strictly Come Dancing remains the most-watched show on TV on Saturday nights, despite changing viewing habits. With more people turning to on-demand services, traditional TV viewership patterns are evolving.
