Strictly Come Dancing final figures revealed and it's a blow for the BBC Strictly Come Dancing has suffered a setback following the thrilling climax of the 2024 season.
A spokesperson said: "Last night the Strictly Come Dancing final was watched by 9.6million people at its peak, 8.6million people watched on average, with a share of 58.5% of the audience.
It is also worth noting that overnights no longer provide an accurate picture of all those who watch in an on demand world, and our 28 day consolidated figures will provide a more accurate representation of how many people tuned in to the Strictly final.
Last year, the 2024 season - won by Coronation Street star Ellie Leach and dancer Vito Coppola - pulled in a peak of 9.7 million and average of 8.8 million.
Strictly 2024 got off to a weak start back in September with the launch episode pulling in just 7.1million viewers - down from the 7.8 million viewers that watched the 2023 launch.
