After feuds and fighting, the X Factor suffered another blow this weekend as it was again trounced in the ratings war by Strictly Come Dancing.
The ITV show’s quarter-final on Saturday was watched by three million fewer viewers than last year. It attracted an average audience of 10million, peaking at 11.3million.
But Strictly, its long-standing BBC rival, drew as many as 11.7million, with an average of 10.6million.

Winning combination: Holly Valance and Artem Chigvintsev wowed the audience with a well-performed Foxtrot on Saturday night
Although Strictly’s audience was down from the previous week, when the number tuning in peaked at 12.5million, it still left X Factor trailing behind.
A BBC spokesman said: 'We are delighted that viewers keep tuning in each Saturday. We were the most watched programme of the evening again.'
