A BB4 style evacuation was almost needed this afternoon after production staff found a suspect package - concerned staff phoned police at 12.30pm this afternoon.

Sky News reports that one housemate has been receiving death threats through the post, seemingly to the studios and staff thought that there could be a link between the package and this. It's not clear which housemate has been getting the mail.

The police and army experts x-rayed the package and it was found to be harmless.

Reports suggest the housemates were not moved or knew anything of the security scare, but this is unconfirmed.
