Who knows though.

TOWIE is a hit but isn't a massive ratings puller, it under performs BB by around 600k if you base it on BB15 but compare it to BB14 and that probably outperformed it by a million viewers. CBB will pull in a lot of viewers whichever channel that goes to aswell.
I would love ITVBe to take it. A show that pulls in more than over 2 million on some nights on a multi channel is a big deal for them and the money made from voting this year was surprisingly high. They desperately need a show like BB seeing as their schedule is currently a rehash of repeats of Real Housewives which were aired on ITV2 3 years ago.
It really has no identity and a terrible schedule.
Having 2 hit shows can only be a good thing for them. Yes BB is costly but this is ITV remember they are not strapped for cash, ITVBe will flop when TOWIE ends in around 4 weeks time.
