'The Voice' UK live show chaos watched by 5.7m

'The Voice' UK live show chaos watched by 5.7m

The Voice UK drew an audience of nearly 5.7m for its latest edition last night, overnight data shows.

Saturday's glitch-ridden live show entertained 5.68m (27.9%) on BBC One between 6.30pm and 8pm, increasing marginally on last week's series low.

Despite Chelsea's dramatic win over Bayern Munich on penalties, the UEFA Champions League was the lowest-watched final featuring an English team in recent memory, scoring an average of 6.53m (29%) on ITV1 between 7pm and 11.30pm and 1.49m (6.7%) for Sky Sports's coverage between 7pm and 10.30pm.

However, a total of 12.1 million were glued to the penalty shoot-out between 10.15pm and 10.30pm on ITV and Sky. The figure is likely to be higher as BARB data does not account for fans watching in pubs.

Keith Lemon's Lemonaid's final episode logged 1.88m (10.8%) on ITV1 at 6.30pm.

BBC One's familiar lineup of The National Lottery: In It To Win It (4.29m/18%) and Casualty (4.06m/16.1%) coped fairly well, then a Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow repeat amused 2.34m (9.5%) from 9.50pm.

Channel 4's screening of Titanic enthralled 1.31m (6%) from 6.15pm (+1: 286k), while CSI: NY was Channel 5's saviour with 1.4m (5.7%) at 10pm, and BBC Two had 2.36m (13.8%) for a classic episode of Dad's Army at 6.30pm.

Overall, ITV1 breezed to victory in primetime with 29.8% (+1: 0.2%), way ahead of BBC One's 16.5%. Sky Sports rose to 7.7% to make third place, followed by Channel 4's 5.4% (+1: 1.2%), BBC Two's 4.4%, and Channel 5's 3.4% (+1: 0.2%).
