I mean it’s most likely the latter as they seem committed to BB in Autumn. But to me it makes so much more sense we have the longer series in Spring when there isn’t much else going on #BBUK
My predictions …
1) Civilian launches in spring avoiding a clash with The Traitors. They can slot in Celebrity before Traitors in Autumn as that is a shorter series
2) They’re taking the time to get civilian right in autumn after the backlash they received this year. #BBUK
BREAKING 🚨 Celebrity Big Brother has been DROPPED from ITV’s 2026 spring schedule and won’t air in March as previously reported, and when it returns it WILL be moving to ITV2.
#CBBUK will either launch later in 2026, or move to 2027 — alternating the spring slot with #ImACeleb All Stars.
#BBUK is still set to return next autumn.
ITV have officially said: "We are committed to both Celebrity Big Brother and Big Brother beyond 2025, and scheduling for any new series will be confirmed in due course. The show remains a priority reality format for us having recently hit 150 million streams on ITVX."
Tamsin Dodgson, the Creative Director of Big Brother, has been appointed Creative Director of Initial by Banijay UK.
This means she’ll still oversee #BBUK, where she’s been since the reboot, but a new Creative Director will be brought in for a fresh take on the show directly!
I loved the Big Coins in 2018 but I can’t get on board with these eyes nonsense. It has basically zero influence on the game other than getting you a bag of haribos. Pack this in! #BBUK
Catching up on tonight’s #BBUK and the eviction crowd is TINY? What is going on?!? Although the lack of drone shots in and out of breaks to hide it I can get onboard with.
BREAKING 🚨 ITV finally reveal a new trailer for Big Brother 2025! 👁️
“More shocks, more strategy, more drama. The game is changing” 👀
The brand new series is less than 3 weeks away!! #BBUK
