Dancing with the Stars fell sharply on its return to Seven last night, attracting 778,000 metro viewers, well down on the 1.04m who watched the debut outing last year.

The celebrity dance show, which opened with a two and a half hour special from 7pm, was the sixth most watched show of Sunday night.

It was well beaten by Nine’s The Voice, which drew 1.53m viewers and topped the night in the 7pm time slot despite losing 300,000 viewers from last week, and Masterchef on Ten which pulled in 1.04m, an improvement on last week’s 993,000.
