Just over 3m people watched the programme, about a Las Vegas man called Wesley Warren Jr who suffers from scrotal elephantiasis, at 9pm. This was a 13% share of the total viewing at the time and the second most popular show in the prime 9pm slot, behind ITV's Long Lost Family. The ITV family reunion show, hosted by Nicky Campbell and Davina McCall, lost half a million viewers from last week and was seen by 4.8m, a 21% share.

Another 800,000 people, spurred by massive Twitter buzz, tuned in for The Man with the Ten-Stone Testicles on Channel 4+1 at 10pm.
