Coronation Street was predictably the most-watched show, with 7.48m (39.7%) at 7.30pm (+1: 161k) for Steve's regret over his night with Tracy, and 7.32m (34.8%) at 8.30pm (+1: 193k) as Tracy left the Street.

Elsewhere, Emmerdale picked up an impressive 6.17m (35.3%) at 7pm (+1: 140k) as Sarah's bruises continued to worry Debbie and Andy, while an episode of Doctors titled 'Sunday, Sunday' averaged 1.46m (19.1%).

Meanwhile, Hollyoaks took just 805k (5%) at 6.30pm, then E4's first look fetched 340k (1.9%) at 7pm.

Neighbours delivered 564k (7.3%) at 1.45pm and 995k (8.1%) at 5.30pm, while Home and Away mustered 711k (4.9%) at 6pm and a further 492k (3.1%) at 6.30pm.
