I was just informed that there was a bomb scare inside the UK Big Brother house. According to numerous live feed watchers the Housemates were ushered out of the house while the police conducted a search on the Big Brother compound. In the post 9/11, Madrid, and London Bombing world every bomb threat is taken seriously. This bomb threat however would be chalked up as a hoax.

E4 Released this statement:

In the early hours of Sunday morning (Day 31 into 32), all of the housemates were dramatically removed from the Big Brother House. However, it wasn’t ‘cos Big Bro got tired of their constant chat about nominations; rather more seriously, it was due to a bomb scare. Cripes!

The E4 live feed temporarily went off-air as all fifteen contestants were removed for their own safety. However, it turned-out to be a false alarm and the group were returned to the House once the grounds had been checked-out.

Despite fans’ speculation that there was some kind-of twist or another big bust-up, Channel 4 have confirmed that they evacuated the House as a safety precaution due to a fake bomb scare.

“After the necessary checks were made, housemates returned to the house without incident and the streaming was resumed immediately, ” said a C4 spokesperson.

Hertfordshire Police have issued this statement, “We were informed of a bomb threat to the Big Brother House in the early hours of this morning (Sunday, the 6th of July 200. Officers attended the property just after 1.15am and a thorough search was conducted by the security team”.

“The owners of the property chose to evacuate the premises while it took place, but the search revealed the call to be a hoax.”

A similar thing occurred during Big Brother 4 in 2003, when a bomb scare saw the housemates evacuated on what would have been Gos’s eviction night. The chef subsequently got evicted a couple days later, but exited the House without the usual crowd to greet him.
