The record-breaking results were also driven by other key shows that grew their online audiences significantly during 2017, including I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!, Have You Been Paying Attention? and Neighbours.

Network Ten General Manager, Digital, Liz Baldwin, said: "Last year was a great year for tenplay, with growth across web, mobile and lean-back platforms.

"Our success was led by a huge appetite for our programs and we are delighted to have set a few catch-up records, including the largest online audience for any Australian show with The Bachelorette Australia.

"We have seen significant growth on our lean-back platforms due to the soaring popularity of consuming content via connected televisions. We have strategically launched on new platforms, including Samsung, Android TV and Telstra TV 2. We will continue to roll out on select new platforms in 2018 to ensure audiences can access our fantastic programming when they want and where they want," she said.

In 2018, Network Ten will expand its digital footprint with the launch of ten daily, a new, standalone, mobile-optimised website that will be rich in short-form video content and offer premium and exclusive entertainment, lifestyle, opinion news and sport content.

Lisa Wilkinson has been appointed to the newly-created role of Executive Editor of ten daily. The new role is in addition to her previously announced position with Network Ten's award-winning news and current affairs program, The Project, in a hosting role. She will work alongside The Project's hosts Carrie Bickmore, Waleed Aly and Peter Helliar, as well as hosting The Sunday

Project.
