The Celebrity Big Brother house was put on lockdown after ITV bosses were forced to implement emergency security measures due to a breach. The celebrities were reportedly ushered inside and shutters were drawn when a drone managed to land in the garden of the house. At the time, Michael Fabricant and Mickey Rourke were outside enjoying some fresh air and working out respectively. They quickly returned indoors as security initiated a full lockdown.
Efforts are now underway to review footage to determine the nature of the breach. An insider revealed: “It was a major security breach. Flying a drone over the house is one thing but to be able to as good as land it in the garden meters away from the stars is terrifying. Michael was the first to spot the drone and pretended to shoot it down while Mickey was baffled.They told The Sun: “All the housemates ran to the doors to see what was happening but Big Brother quickly pulled down the shutters. Security is now being reviewed.
“A video has since surfaced on TikTok by a user named @thedronemenace, which appears to show footage from the offending drone.The clip starts outside ITV-affiliated studios in London, with the user pointing out the security presence before stating: “Alright, let’s get to it, see what we can see.
The Big Brother house was rocked by an aerial intruder, as a drone hovered above the CBB garden capturing footage of Mickey pedalling away on an exercise bike while Michael stood by mock-shooting at the overhead nuisance.
The A-lister observed the mechanical spy; their peaceful moment soon shattered as the house descended into lockdown, metal shutters enclosing them from the outside world.Accompanying the jaw-dropping video was the drone operator’s teasing message: “Step inside the Big Brother house with me as I mingle with the stars!, reports the Mirror.
But just as the fun begins, the unexpected happens-lockdown activated due to the Drone Menace!
But the excitement didn’t end there, with another tantalising clip surfacing this afternoon on TikTok. It shows an extended sneak peek of the celebrity antics as Mickey beckons the drone closer and Michael patiently holds the door open in anticipation.
The moment they re-enter the refuge of the house, with fellow contestants peering through the windows, the fortress-like shutters began to roll down with an assertive thud.
