Around 3.3 million people watched last nights BRIT Awards, a rise of over half a million on last year's all time low numbers.

The show, which moved to a Saturday for the first time in the award's 47-years, still lost out to The Masked Singer, with 4.55m, and Michael McIntyre’s Big Show, with 4.45m, according to overnight figures.

At its peak, the BRITs was hitting highs of around 9 million viewers, and while last night's event halts a year-on-year decline, it's still the third lowest watched BRIT awards in the show's broadcast history.

Harry Styles dominated the 2023 ceremony, taking home four awards, while Wet Leg and Beyoncé each won two.
