The BBC’s gamble to lose The Voice to ITV and instead run The Greatest Dancer on Saturday night proved bad for ratings, as The Voice was watched by 4.8 million people (5.3 million viewers including ITV plus one) compared to The Greatest Dancer‘s 4.6 million viewers.
“You could be forgiven for thinking The Greatest Dancer would be about finding the greatest dancer,” wrote one Twitter user.
The Greatest Dancer – the latest competitive television show from Simon Cowell – has been met with devastating reviews on Twitter, with many viewers expressing annoyance at the way the voting system works.
