By comparison, last year’s House Rules winner announcement averaged a metro audience of 1.837m.

The House Rules winner announcement was most watched show of the night, according to the preliminary overnight ratings from OzTAM. The grand final itself, which was coded separately, averaged 1.73m viewers.

Nine’s The Voice Kids averaged 1.255m, while Ten’s reality contender Masterchef rated 909,000.

The House Rules final helped Seven shows across the board. Seven News rated 1.324m, ahead of Nine News on 1.255m.

Meanwhile, there was also a late night battle of British sport, with Seven showing the men’s final from Wimbledon, SBS1 showing the Tour De France and Ten airing the British Formula One Grand Prix.

Ten’s grand prix coverage was hurt by an early crash leading to a lengthy delay before the race restarted. The live pre-race coverage rated 335,000 for Ten across the three city metro of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, making it 25th most watched program nationally. Live coverage of the race itself averaged 277,000 in the three cities.

SBS1’s coverage of the British stage of Tour De France was 26th for Sunday with a metro audience of 326,000.

And Seven’s Wimbledon coverage rated 324,000, although this did not include the whole final as the game went beyond the 2am overnight ratings cutoff. It was 27th for Sunday.
