Home and Away was the top non-news program on Seven with 541,000 viewers.
Big Brother VIP had 380,000 viewers tune in for its second episode. This follows the lacklustre audience of 377,000 that the show had for its launch on Monday night.
One of the highlights of the episode was former Married At First Sight contestant Jessika Power sharing with her fellow celebrities about how Australian cricket legend Shane Warne contacted her on social media recently.
“Shane Warne, mate, he’s a freak. Some of the things he was sending me … inappropriate. I replied a little bit to him and then he just got real X-rated. No wonder he gets into trouble all the time – you don’t write that over a text message if you have a (famous) name.”
Afterwards, Seven aired the documentary Conjoined Twins which focused on, you guessed it, conjoined twins. The doco brought in 194,000 viewers.
Nine
