Canale 5, Endemol set up next Grande Fratello VIP after Mussolini victory
The latest edition of Italy’s reality show Grande Fratello VIP concluded with Alessandra Mussolini winning the final. Publication of the official Auditel audience figures was postponed to the afternoon of May 20 due to a technical glitch, prompting industry discussion and speculation about the program’s viewing peak. Director Alessio Pollacci responded on X, emphasizing the show’s content quality and audience engagement rather than raw numbers.
Canale 5 and production partner Endemol Shine Italy issued press releases praising the season’s performance, noting a 16.93 % average share and confirming that a new edition is already in preparation. Mediaset CEO Pier Silvio Berlusconi also publicly congratulated the team. The statements underline the network’s commitment to the format despite the delayed ratings data.
