BRITs ratings up a million on last year
By Chris Cooke | Published on Thursday 26 February 2015
So, all of you suckers who thought Ant & Dec were an odd hire for the BRIT Awards in 2015. And all you people who found their ‘jokes’ excruciating. And all you people who kicked your telly in after that bit where they pretended one of them had got the wrong end of the stage.
Well, word has it the tedious twosome (and possibly Taylor, Kanye and Madge) helped the record industry’s annual awards bash score a telly ratings average of 5.76 million, up a million on last year, and ahead of the recent BAFTA Awards. So, that’ll please telly bosses and the dudes at Mastercard.
And remember, those figures are before the extra ‘watch again’ views the show is sure to score online from all those ‘You’ve Been Framed’ fans tuning in for the Madonna stumble. Next year ITV should have Harry Hill on hand to narrate such incidents if and when they occur.
