Due to the large numbers voting, RTÉ has announced a change in the schedule for the remaining You're a star results shows.
Results shows will now be broadcast on the Monday morning after each show at 08:00 live on RTÉ ONE television and 2FM radio.
Since it first aired on 5th Janurary, the show has seen increasing viewing figures and voters. Last Sunday's show attracted over 650,000 viewers (42% of the available audience), and in excess of 330,000 votes.
A statement from RTÉ read: “As a result, and on the advice of all our service providers, RTÉ has decided to amend the scheduling of the results show. This will allow additional time to receive and process votes made. The voting window will remain the same (from 21:00 till 22:00 after the show on Sundays) February 16th and 23rd and March 2nd. The final will be held on Saturday March 8th, and a different procedure will apply on the night”.
