Celebrity Wrestling mauled in Saturday ratings

Celebrity Wrestling was consigned to TV oblivion at the weekend after the final episode in its Saturday night slot was floored in the ratings.
Proving justified the network's decision to dump it after its poor performance, the show, which featured C-list celebrities including Kate Lawler and Chesney Hawkes was watched by just 2.3 million viewers at 6.30pm.
That left ITV with an unusually small slice of the audience - just 14% at Saturday teatime.
From next Sunday the remainder of the ITV1 series will grapple with Breakfast With Frost and religious shows when it moves to a new Sunday morning slot.
Its new 9.55am airtime is currently occupied by a repeat of Celebrity Wrestling. Instead it will now house the original show.
Celebrity Wrestling was knocked out once again by BBC1's Doctor Who, which pulled in an audience of 7.5 million, a galactic 43% share and a repeat of the classic war film The Dam Busters on Channel 4, which also won 2.3 million viewers.
While wrestling dragged down ITV1's Saturday night, boxing proved its saviour. Straightforward sport, with no punches pulled, rescued ITV1's lacklustre evening.
An average of 4.5 million, a 24% share, tuned in to watch Amir Khan avenge his defeat in 2004's Olympic lightweight final in Big Fight Live.
Hit Me Baby... begins ITV's Saturday slump
ITV1's Saturday slump began at 5.30pm with fallen pop idols show Hit Me Baby One More Time pulling in just 1.9 million viewers. After Celebrity Wrestling came Celebrity Stitch Up, which drew 3.2 million.
The results of Hit Me Baby... won 2.4 million viewers then ratings revived with Who Wants to be a Millionaire, which brought in 4.1 million - before Big Fight Live became ITV1's most-watched show all day at 9.30pm.
Sport also proved its worth on Sunday night for BBC1, with the nail-biting final day of the Premiership boosting Match of the Day to 3.5 million viewers.
On the same night, C4's new upmarket reality show The Pioneer House had a respectable opening. At 8pm it picked up 1.3 million viewers, against BBC1's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
The first week of Five's slightly less upmarket reality show, The Farm, ended on a respectable note with 900,000 viewers on Sunday night. Geri Halliwell documentary There's Something About Geri helped the channel by winning 1.1 million at 9pm.
On Friday night, C4's "Gay or Straight Blind Date" show, Playing it Straight, finished with a dramatic ending and a series high of 2.3 million
