I would seem the rot keeps eating away at the xfactor.

The first part of the X Factor final drew its lowest audience since its launch year in 2004 on Saturday 14 December.
The ITV talent show managed to pull an average audience of 8.5 million, that includes viewers catching-up on ITV+1.
That's down a million on the final Saturday last year.
