BBC reports:
The Big Brother house was evacuated on Sunday morning after a security threat, Channel 4 has confirmed.
A man contacted the show's base at Elstree Studios, Hertfordshire, claiming a bomb was nearby.
Programme makers cut the live feed and the 15 contestants were woken at 0240 BST and moved to a safe location.
A spokesman said: "After the necessary checks were made, housemates returned to the house without incident and streaming was resumed."
Hertfordshire police said its officers searched the area and found the call was a hoax.
Once back inside, housemates were given a task to fight their way out of paper bags with boxing gloves, which they went on to fail.
