For the first time this year, Strictly Come Dancing has comprehensively beaten ITV1's The X Factor in the Saturday night ratings.

Both shows put on a Halloween special, and Strictly added 700k viewers week-on-week for a total average of 10.16m (42.7%). Meanwhile, The X Factor dropped around 180k from last week for 9.59m (38.8%). An extra 313k (1.4%) watched the singing contest on timeshift.

Strictly's ratings boost meant that BBC One edged ITV1 in overall primetime audience share for the first time since this series of The X Factor began.


Not surprised as the show has been way better than X-Factor this year IMO.
