The first live episode of Strictly Come Dancing saw a peak audience of 10.1 million on Saturday, as viewers flocked to tune into the family favourite. 

The show raked in a total of 1.6million more viewers than 2019, suggesting that the familiar format is a comfort to many amidst the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. 

The BBCs show’s ratings tally make it the second most-watched entertainment programme of the year, behind Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway.

Roaring success: 10.1 million Strictly fans tuned in to watch the series’ first live show on Saturday, which featured the show’s first ever same-sex performance  

Saturday’s episode saw Judges Shirley Ballas, 60, Craig Revel Horwood, 55, and Motsi Mobuse, 39, all return to the judging panel, while Tess Daly, 51, and Claudia Winkleman, 48, hosted. 

Nicola Adams and Katya Jones left fans in tears as they made history as the first ever same-sex couple to perform on the show, while HRVY and Janette Manrara came top of the leaderboard.

The boxer, 37, and the professional dancer, 31, were praised as ‘absolute dynamite’ and a ‘fantastic partnership’ after they performed the Quickstep to Get Happy by Ella Fitzgerald, and the performance earned them a score of 21 which saw them come in joint third place.

‘My thoughts now are where do we go from here HRVY? Well done a great ending to a great show, I absolutely loved that.’     

Fourth judge Bruno Tonioli was unable to travel back to the UK from his home in LA for the filming due to the Covid-19 crisis and his work commitments on Dancing With The Stars. 

This year’s couples have formed their own separate ‘bubbles’ to allow them to train and perform, and are being regularly tested to avoid a virus outbreak during filming.

The show will continue to have a live audience, though members of the public will be seated in their separate households or ‘bubbles’ and will wear a mask throughout filming.
