TV audiences down but Dancing with the Stars back to 946,000 as Mark Holden meltdown sparks complaints

Seven’s reality show Dancing with the Stars has stabilised its audience modestly, after its audience dropped away last week. The show, which aired from 7.30pm to 9.30pm saw 946,000 viewers tune in, up from last week’s 882,000 but still down on its debut audience of 1.04m.

The show saw viewers last night take to social media following contestant, and former Australian Idol judge, Mark Holden’s performance questioning if he was drunk, with many viewers angry when he was not eliminated from the contest.

On a night when audiences were down across the board, with no audiences over a million, DWTS was the most watched non-news program of the night, helping Seven to win the night with an audience share of 20.3 per cent, compared to Nine’s 18.9 per cent.
