X Factor slips as Mel B revealed as fourth judge
Seven’s X Factor pulled in 838,000 metro viewers at 7:30pm last night as former Spice Girl Mel B was revealed as the mystery fourth judge.
Melanie Brown will mentor the ‘underdog’ group when the competition goes into the live stage later this month.
Her return to Seven comes despite a bitter court case which saw Brown fight the network for the right to work at Nine.
The X Factor was down on last week’s audience of 895,000 and was also beaten by The Block on Nine, which attracted 953,000.
The Block and The X Factor were the two most-watched shows across the key advertising demographics (16-39, 18-49 and 25-54).
Meanwhile, Ten’s Todd Sampson’s Body Hack at 8:30pm saw its audience sink to 486,000 after 588,000 tuned in last week.
It was beaten by Seven’s Cold Feet, which at 8:45pm was watched by 612,000.
Seven won the night with an audience share of 19.8%, ahead of Nine’s share of 19.2%. Ten just managed to claim third place with a share of 10.9% while the ABC had a share of 10.7%.
In the news battleground, Seven News at 6:00pm was watched by 1.023m, slipping to 1.004m from 6:30pm while Nine News at 6:00pm had an audience of 910,000, sliding to 900,000 from 6:30pm.
