bb ratings( michael jackson steals viewers)

[chance]

The outcome of Michael Jackson's child molestation trial appeared to drag down ratings for Big Brother last night.

The extended episode, broadcast at 10pm, averaged just 2.9 million viewers and a 13.8% share of the available audience. BBC One's live coverage of the MJ verdict drew a significantly higher 7.61 million (34.5%) between 10pm and 10.35pm.

Earlier, ITV's Celebrity Love Island had pulled in 4.18 million (18.4%).

Spinoff shows BBLB and Big Mouth put in their usual numbers, with first-run audiences of 1.2 million (9.6%) and 279,000 (2.2%) respectively.
