ITV Big Brother ends with its live final on November 5, and the channel is moving straight into two TOWIE spin-offs from this weekend. That is a clean handover after an eight-week run, with the usual reality slot now being filled across multiple nights rather than left empty.
Jordan Brook and Sophie Kasaei
Jordan and Sophie: A TOWIE Baby starts first, airing on Sunday and Monday at 9pm as a two-part special. It follows Jordan Brook and Sophie Kasaei after the birth of their baby boy, Brody, giving ITV2 a softer, family-led reset after a run built on the pressure-cooker format of Big Brother.
More than a dozen strangers entered the house at the start of the series, and two newcomers joined part way through. By the end, two contestants had been forced out in a shock double backdoor eviction a day before the live finale. The schedule shift moves viewers from that elimination-heavy finish to a more contained run of specials built around named reality figures rather than a larger ensemble.
Amy Childs wedding run
Amy Childs: A TOWIE Wedding follows on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 9pm as a three-part special. It tracks Amy Childs and Billy Delbosq as they prepare for a Spanish wedding, while Harry Derbidge handles the hen do, so the week stays inside one linked storyline instead of bouncing between separate housemates and tasks.
The structure is unusually efficient for a replacement block: one two-part title, then one three-part title, both anchored to familiar names from TOWIE. That gives ITV2 a way to keep the reality audience without stretching Big Brother beyond its live final, and it turns the post-finale stretch into a set of appointment nights rather than a single one-off swap.
November 6 reunion
The last moving part is the reunion on November 6, when the housemates are due back together after the finale. The live final closes one chapter, but the reunion and the two spin-offs keep the week alive for viewers who want the fallout without waiting for another full Big Brother run.
For anyone following ITV2’s reality schedule, the practical takeaway is simple: November 5 ends Big Brother, and the replacement block begins immediately with Jordan and Sophie: A TOWIE Baby before Amy Childs: A TOWIE Wedding takes over later in the week. It is a sharper programming pivot than a fade-out, and it keeps the slot busy with shows that already have built-in names attached.
