The first live show of BBC One's The Greatest Dancer over the weekend, saw 3.4 million viewers tune in, according to initial viewing stats.
Presented by Alesha Dixon and Jordan Banjo, this weekend saw nine acts compete in the opening round of live challenges, followed by a public vote.
Based on overnight viewing figures, Tellymix reports that the number of viewers who tuned in was just below the 3.5 million who watched last weekend's episode, where dance captains Oti Mabuse, Cheryl and Matthew Morrison chose their top acts.
The Greatest Dancer recently denied suggestions it was looking to boost ratings by bringing in some of Oti's fellow Strictly Come Dancing professionals.
Although we do know that some Strictly stars will take part in the new show, a spokesperson has confirmed to Digital Spy that the dancers were always going to make an appearance, and contrary to some reports, it's got nothing to do with viewing figures.
"It has always been the case that Strictly dancers would perform on one of our live shows, along with lots of other special guests which we can't wait for viewers to see," the spokesperson told DS.
