ITV confirms Big Brother replacement as series comes to an end

The latest Big Brother series finally comes to an end after an intense eight weeks

Fans of Big Brother can look forward to two new reality shows and a huge blockbuster.

ITV has now confirmed what is set to replace the series as it comes to an explosive end. Tonight (November 5), marks the finale to what has been an intense eight weeks.

At the start, more than a dozen strangers moved into the famous house together. They all opted to take part in what is considered as the original social experiment, with two newcomers arriving part way.

There has been no shortage of drama and chaos as personalities clashed and housemates had to endure a different theme each week. Just a day before the live finale, two contestants were forced to leave in a shock double backdoor eviction which shook the whole house.

Even after the winner is named, the drama will continue for at least one more night. ITV confirmed this year's housemates will return for a reunion, when they will meet face-to-face.

This will air on Friday, November 6 at the show's usual time. However, from this weekend, Big Brother will be replaced with two different spin-off shows that follow iconic couples through separate, life-changing milestones. On Sunday and Monday at 9pm, viewers can tune in to Jordan and Sophie: A TOWIE Baby.

This two-part special trades glitz for baby bottles, following TOWIE and Geordie Shore favourites Jordan Brook and Sophie Kasaei as they step into an exciting new chapter after welcoming their miracle baby boy, Brody. Having faced years of fertility struggles and the quiet grief of a uncertain future, the couple are now living the life they once only dreamed of.

However, the final stages of Sophie’s pregnancy weren’t without their challenges, as Jordan battled an illness that added unexpected pressure and uncertainty to an already emotional time for the couple. Follow their journey as they navigate the whirlwind of newborn parenthood, introduce Brody to their loved ones, and take a crash course in life as a family.

Meanwhile, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, in the same time slot, ITV2 will broadcast Amy Childs: A TOWIE Wedding . In this three-part special, cameras follow TOWIE royalty Amy Childs and her husband Billy Delbosq as they finally get their happy ending: a Spanish wedding years in the making, and a year overdue.

Following on from their legal ceremony in the UK, this limited docuseries absolutely refuses to shy away from the utter chaos, capturing wedding planning gone brilliantly awry and the sheer, sweat-inducing nerves of pulling off a three-day extravaganza wedding abroad for the undisputed Queen of Essex. The synopsis claimed that organising the fake tan and prosecco logistics alone should be an Olympic sport.

To add to the glorious madness, her best friend and cousin Harry Derbidge will be the mastermind behind a hen do that she will never forget. The road to the altar hasn't been all laughs and sangria, though.

The last time Amy tried to plan this epic wedding, it all came crashing down when her mum suffered a sudden, life-changing heart attack. Now, cue the happy tears: with her mumon the mend and her children right by her side, Amy is finally getting the spectacular 'I do' she was promised.

That's not all, as from next Friday (November 13) viewers can settle down for some spectacular movie nights. It kicks off with Dune. The first part of 2021's remake slash adaptation of the classic sci-fi epic sees Timothee Chalamet take on the role of Paul Atreides as he arrives on Arrakis.

His father has accepted the stewardship of the dangerous planet. However, chaos ensues after a betrayal as forces clash to control melange, a precious resource.

Big Brother is streaming on ITVX.
