My Kitchen Rules “The Winner Announced” has pulled the biggest audience of the year so far.
It hit 2.6m viewers last night as South Australian mums Bree & Jess were declared the champs over WA friends Chloe & Kelly.
Another 2.3m viewers watched the bulk of the show “The Grand Final.”
The biggest audience was in Sydney where 732,000 watched the announcement of the winner over 722,000 in Melbourne and 461,000 in Brisbane.
‘The Winner Announced’ was down on 2012’s 3.13m viewers, but that aired on a Sunday at the earlier time of 6:30pm. Nevertheless, last night it was no contest in the ratings game.
