The X Factor has come out on top against Strictly Come Dancing with up to two million more viewers than its rival, according to overnight figures.
ITV's X Factor had an audience of 10 million while 7.7 million watched the BBC's dance show as it drew to a close.
The two hit shows were up against each other for an hour on Saturday night, with Strictly's audience slipping as The X Factor came on air at 2000 BST.
Strictly failed to beat The X Factor at any point during their direct clash, peaking at 8.1 million just before the ITV programme came on.
