At a loss to explain the ratings' dive, the singer said it remained a mystery to him but he won't carry the burden.
'I don't know enough… if we were talking about records I could tell you the demographic or whatever. I don't know about audience figures. To be honest it's not my problem. They are not going to get more audience figures because my critique is better. They are not tuning in to see me,' he said. Lumping the blame on the acts, he said: 'They are tuning in to see people become stars.'
In a surprise attack he panned last year's stars, which included winners Little Mix and his runner up Marcus Collins but said he hoped his Overs category will change the tide on the live shows.
'My complaint at the end of last year is I thought the contestants weren't good enough,' he said. 'I thought we had a pretty average year last year and this year coming back I am really stoked.'
At one point during this series, viewing figures were down 2.6million on last year.
