X FACTOR viewing figures have fallen below 3million for the first time in its history.
The celebrity version of the show on Saturday, featuring TV’s Mr Nasty Simon Cowell, drew an average audience of 2.9m.

Last night X Factor said when the ITV+1 figures were added the show did finally get more than 3m viewers.
But when this series launched last month it got an average of 4.8m viewers.
