Last year, a whopping 8.5 million tuned in to the first live show, and in 2013 the show was watched by 9.1 million.
Back in 2011, the first live show was viewed by 7.5 million, making this year's ratings the lowest since then.
To add insult to injury, producers expected ratings to peak due to the lack of competition from the X Factor.

Strictly and X Factor will however go head to head in the battle of the ratings next Sunday evening, when Simon Cowell's talent contest airs a bumper episode to make up for its Rugby World Cup absence.Explore more on these topics:
