ITV1's multimillion-pound reality show Celebrity Love Island managed to turn the tables on its arch rival Big Brother last night, when it attracted more than 4 million viewers.
The Fiji-based series peaked with 4.7 million viewers at 9.30pm last night, nearly 1 million ahead of its Hertfordshire-shot rival.

Big Brother took the spoils when the two shows went head to head on Friday. However, ITV's decision to schedule Celebrity Love Island straight after Coronation Street seems to have paid off.

Although ITV's show lost over half the 9.5 million viewers it inherited from Coronation Street, it still managed to attract an average audience of 4.3 million.

After slumping to averages of 2.3 million on Saturday and 2.8 million on Sunday, Celebrity Love Island pulled in its highest audience for more than a week - and the second highest since the show launched.

Big Brother managed an average audience of just 3.4 million at 10.30pm, peaking with 3.8 million 15 minutes later.
