Seven wins the night as Beauty and the Geek has a night off, with DWTS airing in its place

Seven won the night last night after a change in its usual schedule which saw Dancing with the Stars air at 7.30pm in place of Beauty and the Geek which aired last week from 8pm, with the channel grabbing an audience share of 21 per cent.

It was a night where audiences were down across the board, with no show cracking the 1m viewer mark. Dancing with the Stars, airing from 7.30pm to 9.30pm, was watched by 898,000 and was the second-most watched non-news show of the night, only beaten by Seven’s Home and Away which had an audience of 900,000 at 7pm.

The reality dancing competition won in the 7.30pm timeslot, beating Nine’s Kings Cross ER which was watched by 709,000, up on last week’s audience of 683,000.

Seven told Mumbrella it always runs a double episode of DWTS at the point in the series, with Beauty and the Geek set to return next week.
