The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show was a ratings disaster

Supermodels in l𓆏ingerie aren’t luring eyeballs the way they used to.

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show — dogged by criticism over its use of leggy supermodels in skimpy outfits and angel wings — drew just 3.3 million viewers when it air🤪ed🉐 Sunday night on ABC.

That’s 1.7 million fewer than last year, and half what the sꦕkin-happy TV broadcast drew two years ago, .

It’s also a far cry from the splashy show’s heyday more than a decade ago. At its height in 2001, more than 12 million tuned in to watch skinny mo🅠dels strut in bejeweled bras, lace panties and garter belts in a glitzy one-hour TV show.

“I’m not surprised about a new low in the ratings,” Randal Konik, a Jefferies analyst who covers retail and fashionꦚ companies, told The Post. “The marketing messaging continues to turn people off and the show is a liability now.”

Critics on Sunday included the singer Halsey, who had been the hired entertainment for the show when it was taped last month. Shortly after the taping, Victoria🌳’s Secret marketing chief Ed Razek created an uproar when he dismissed the idea of including plus-size models or “transsexuals” in the runway show.

“The show is a fantasy,” Razek .

Wit🍸hin 24 hours, Razek was backpedaling and apologizing to the transgender crowd. He failed, however, to apologize a🎀bout the plus-size remarks.

Late Sunday on her Instagram ac🐼count, Halsey blasted Razek’s comments, saying that “I have no tolera🙈nce for a lack of inclusivity, especially not one motivated by stereotype.”
