The Woolworths-backed Recipe To Riches dropped to its lowest ratings yet on Tuesday night with just 528,000 viewers watching the program across the five city metro, OzTam’s preliminary overnight ratings show.
The Ten show fell to 22nd for the night, after it appeared to stabilise at around the 600,000 mark last week. However it held on to its spot as thirteenth for the night in Ten’s target demographic of 25-54s.
