Britain’s Got Talent has once again beaten a high-profile political TV debate in the ratings, last night’s BBC Debate being watched by approximately 3.5 million viewers, compared to the ITV show’s 7.2 million.
Figures peaked during the BBC Debate at 4.7 million, a 23.4 per cent share of the TV watching audience.
Overnights TV, the country’s leading analyst of broadcast ratings, revealed the new figures, pointing out how 7 million tuned into the 2015 BBC Leaders Debate.
The BBC has been accused of left-wing bias as the audience appeared to support Jeremy Corbyn, despite polling firm ComRes choosing audience members representative of supporters from across the parties.
