The Logies secured a ratings win for Seven in their second year of televising the awards after snatching the TV night of night’s from Nine who had broadcast the ceremony for the previous 27 years.

It was the most watched show on free-to-air, posting a total national reach of 3,351,000, with a national audience of 1,338,000, and on-demand audience of 71,000.

It was the second most watched show last year with an average of 877,000 people in the five metro capital cities tuning in during its almost five hours of shenanigans.

But the television ratings report changed its metrics this year making it difficult to compare the year-on-year audience.

ANDY LEE’S LOGIE BOMBSHELL

Andy Lee attended his first Logies in 2004, a night he can’t help but remember forever, but not because it was his debut on the red carpet.

“At my first Logies, at the beginning before it began, Sophie Monk was there and I was like ‘oh my God Sophie Monk is just there’,” the Gold Logie nominee for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television told Confidential on Sunday night.

“She (Monk) was just there and then her eyes went back in the back of her head, (she) dead dropped and fainted.

“I’ve spoken about her since and she had a corset that was way too tight and she couldn’t breathe and she just went ‘boom’.

“Hamish (Blake) and I were just looking at this gorgeous girl and going ‘oh my God what do we do. It wasn’t us.”

Lee – who is nominated for his role on The Hundred — said attending the awards night with his fourth ever nomination is making him feel “old”.

“This (year) is a sad state of affairs because the first Logies Hamish and I went to was 20 years ago,” Lee said.

“I am old now so that’s why I’ve been trying to have a dig at Larry Emdur and how old he is to distract people from how old I’m getting.”

Andy Lee said his first ever Logies memory was seeing model and TV star Sophie Monk faint on the red carpet.

“I said to Bec ‘I want a bucks month’ and she said ‘you can have two weeks’,” Lee said.
