Caitlyn Jenner's reality show I Am Cait loses half of its audience after just one episode

Caitlyn Jenner was immediately overcome with support by fans following the release of her Vanity Fair cover, amassing more than one million followers on her new Twitter account in just four hours.

However, not all of the 65-year-old's loyal social media followers (which now amount to 2.78M) are tuning into her E! series I Am Cait, as the fledgling show is already suffering a ratings slump.

Entertainment Weekly claimed on Tuesday that Sunday’s hour had only 1.3 million viewers, which was a drop of more than 50 percent from the show’s premiere.

The premiere itself had a somewhat modest debut, especially in comparison to the ratings Kardashian programming usually brings, as well as the amount of buzz that had been surrounding Caitlyn.

The series debuted with 2.7 million viewers, a number which grew to 3.9 million with the addition of DVR playback.

Though time-shifted viewing, such as the DVR numbers, is important, the significant drop in same-night viewing could be a troubling sign regarding viewer interest in the new series.

A bad sign? Entertainment Weekly reported that while time-shifted viewing is important - I Am Cait premiere ratings grew from 2.7M to 3.9M after factoring in DVR views - the drop in same-night views could be a bad sign for the series

A sneak peek for the next episode of the reality series shows Jenner and her transgender girlfriends talking about dating and their femininity at a dinner party at her Malibu beach house. 

'You would feel more feminine if you were with a guy,' says Jenner, who wears a white lace dress they sit around the dining table.

'I can appreciate the male form,' she admits.

Her girlfriends appear intrigued by the admission, raising their eyebrows and sharing surprised glances.

Keep it chic and sophisticated in a jumpsuit like Caitlyn's

It seems Caitlyn Jenner has really found her feet when it comes to fashion. Although originally sticking to slightly safer, well-known brands such as Diane Von Furstenberg, she's now branching out into other territory.

As she headed for dinner at Eva Longoria's restaurant - Beso - Caitlyn kept things elegant in a black, strapless jumpsuit. The pick is by Saloni and is up for grabs on Net-a-Porter now for $615.

We love the sweetheart neckline of this chic pick and while the legs of the piece aren't fitted, it really nips you in at the waist to help show off your figure.

If you drew in a sharp breath when you heard the price however then do not fear, because we've scoured the internet for some alternative sweetheart jumpsuits for a snip of the cost of Caitlyn's.

* PRICES MAY NOT BE AS ADVERTISED

In her April 24 tell-all interview, Jenner told Diane Sawyer that 'I am, as far as I know, heterosexual.'

'As far as I know, I've never been with a guy. I've always been married, raising kids,' she told Sawyer.

And she pointed out that transgender identity and sexuality were totally different issues.

New episodes of I Am Cait air on E! Sundays at 8pm.
