This Is JLS, which featured the band singing their hit songs, along with sketches and surprises attracted just 2.6 million to ITV 1 between 6.00pm and 7.00pm last night. The show also featured a special duet with Kylie Minogue.

The show was comprehensively beaten by Strictly Come Dancing on BBC One which attracted 10.5 million viewers for the semi-final. Back to ITV 1, The X Factor continued to dominate, with a two hour special peaking at 15.4 million viewers and averaging 14.1 million between 7.00pm and 9.00pm. The return of dating show Take Me Out had 6.2 million viewers from 9.00pm.
