JOSIE GIBSON INVITES ITV AUDIENCES INTO HER DREAM HOME IN JOSIE GIBSON'S BIG COUNTRY BUILD
The TV favourite is about to undertake an ambitious plan to transform her dilapidated Somerset property into a modern, 21st century abode, with cameras following the chaos and commotion that will no doubt unfold.
Produced by MGM Alternative UK for broadcast across ITV1, STV, ITVX and STV Player in 2026, the seven part series sees Josie teaming up with her brothers, scrap metal traders Josh and Charlie, cousin Builder Tom, and a whole cast of eccentric locals who will be lending a hand as she sets about putting her passion project into action.
Josie is determined that her new home, and the entire development plan, will be centred around her passion for the environment and sustainable living - audiences will follow Josie as she looks to grow her own food and harness her own energy, in a bid to ensure her new home and the stunning landscape around her is protected and preserved. From installing an underground heat pump to setting up auto flowing beehives, Josie will explore ways to maintain her four acres of land in the most eco-friendly way.
The extensive renovation will be followed every step of the way as Josie attempts to assemble her dream home, complete with an on-site gym, walk-in wardrobe, and blacked out windows.
And as she adapts to new surroundings, Josie will be building lots of new friendships with neighbours who could prove integral towards making her renovation dreams a reality.
Josie Gibson's Big Country Buildis commissioned by Katie Rawliffe, Director of Entertainment & Daytime for ITV and Lily Wilson, Commissioning Editor for ITV. Sarah Clarke is Series Producer.
Katie Rawcliffe said 'She's done a stint in the jungle and tackled all manner of outlandish tasks on This Morning, but our audiences are about to see a completely new side to Josie Gibson as she embraces country life and takes sustainable living to a whole new level!'
Dom Bird, Senior Vice President, MGM Unscripted said 'Josie's energy is infectious and her enthusiasm unstoppable. Her renovation experience, however, is less apparent. They'll be chaos, charm, and more than a few bumps in the road as Josie and her band of builders attempt to turn her newly acquired wreck into the dream home she's always wanted'.
Josie Gibson said 'My dream is to build a house as eco and luxurious as possible where you are immersed in the sanctuary of nature. I want to use the acres of land to try and do my best to have a little small holding. I want bees, birds, badgers, to all live in harmony. Though, I'm becoming increasingly concerned that my harmonious dream is slowly turning into a construction nightmare.. I can't wait to bring the audience along on this journey with me!'

Loose Women horrified as Nadia Sawalha offers peek inside 'cluttered' home - gasping 'it's stressing me out just looking at it!'
The Loose Women panellists were left horrified when Nadia Swahalha offered a peek inside her 'cluttered' home. Friday's instalment of the ITV show saw Christine Lampard, Christine McGuinness, Nadia and Frankie Bridge sit down to discuss the hot topics. During the programme, footage of the TV star's home was shown when the panel talked about the new trend of intentional clutter. Nadia joked: 'I am so bang on trend that I am offering my services for £2,000 per hour, you too can have a home like mine. 'You will never be able to find anything, it doesn't matter, because you'll have wasted lots of energy and wasted lots of time looking for anything you might need.' Frankie commented: 'It's stressing me out just looking at that!' During the programme, footage of the TV star's home was shown when the panel talked about the new trend of intentional clutter Nadia joked: 'I am so bang on trend that I am offering my services for £2,000 per hour, you too can have a home like mine.' 'Intentional clutter, you are tackling it and then some,' Christine interjected. The studio chuckled as Nadia went on to add: 'It's so funny, in the break earlier when you had shown that [Nadia's home], Christine went: 'That that that's not your house...' and I went: 'No, it is!' And she went: 'No, no, no, that's not where you live?'' Christine McGuinness laughed as she joked: 'It's stressing me out!' It comes after Nadia shocked her fellow panellists in May when she flashed her bra live on Loose Wome n. She lifted up her white top to show off her floral blue bra on set. Nadia explained to the rest of the panel, which consisted of Jane Moore, 62, Judi Love, 44, and Sue Cleaver, 61, that she was told that her lingerie didn't actually fit her properly by Fantasie Fit specialist Suzanne Pentland. She was told that her item of clothing was two sizes to small and proceeded to ask: 'Do you want to see it?' The TV star then lifted up her top to show off her bra underneath her blue jacket suit and matching trousers. Nadia said: 'Look at that!' Christine McGuinness (left) laughed as she joked: 'It's stressing me out!' The live studio were left lost for words as she kept the top lifted to display her chest. 'Now I've got to tell you girls, usually they are here, but a good bra...' But co-star and anchor Jane had to interrupt her as she spoke about her bra, and told her that they didn't have much time left to talk about her item of clothing. Jane said: 'We've run out of time...' Nadia pulled her top down and said: 'What I wanted to say is when you feel uncomfortbale, wear it a bit longer and it will stretch out.' The show then had to cut to an advert break.

Celebrity Catchphrase stumps Derry Girls legend with the final image – but could you have got it?
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CELEBRITY Catchphrase has caught out another famous face with a Derry Girls legend getting stumped in the final round. Siobhan McSweeney, who played Sister George Michael in the beloved Channel 4 comedy, appeared on the ITV gameshow hosted by Stephen Mulhern in a bid to raise money for charity. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Siobhan was left dumbstruck by this tricky question Credit: ITV 4 Despite missing out on the answer, Siobhan still took out £25,000 Credit: ITV The episode, which first aired in 2023, saw Siobhan go head-to-head against EastEnders' star Charlie Brooks and Coronation Street's Dev Alahan actor Jimmi Harkishin in the 'say what you see' guessing game. After making it through to the final round, Siobhan had her skills put to one final test, going against the clock to answer questions on the catchphrase pyramid. Unfortunately, she stumbled right at the Super Catchphrase final question – but would you have any luck? In the clue, three people are exercising next to each other, but while two are doing quite well, a third is looking sad and struggling to keep up and working on bicep curls. On the floor is a painted triangle, square, and circle. Do you get it? Siobhan was unfortunately unable to figure it out in the timeframe, though didn't go home empty handed, earning an incredible £25,000 in the final round. Add that to the £4,500 she had collected already, and that meant she was able to give £29,500 to North London's Maya Centre – a specialist charity offering counselling and holistic support to low-income and minoritised women. After the game was over, host Stephen asked her if she wanted to know what she'd missed out on – but it had already clicked for her. Without the pressure of the clock against her, Siobhan correctly guessed the answer was "Out Of Shape" – as the person struggling was standing outside of the circle in front of them. Watch the moment Nadine Coyle misses out on huge £50k Celebrity Catchphrase prize On top of earning some serious cash for her own charity, Siobhan managed to answer the special double question – meaning that Charlie and Jimmi both got their pot doubled too. Jimmi donated his money Baby Lifeline - which supports frontline NHS staff to prevent injuries and deaths in and around childbirth – while Charlie raised money for breast cancer charity, Future Dreams. 4 The star realised what it meant after the clock ran out Credit: ITV
