Following last night’s dramatic conclusion of the British Soap Awards after party, celebrities were ordered to leave the venue because of an alleged bomb threat. After the awards, which were hosted by TV host Jane McDonald, actor Sir David Jason, and Gavin and Stacey’s Larry Lamb, the celebration took place in London’s Hackney Town Hall.
However, a source has exclusively reported to The Mirror that attendees were unabatedly told to leave the venue shortly after the event had reportedly received a bomb threat.
“We all evacuated just before 1:00 a.m. Security arrived and told us we had to leave immediately, according to our source, who gave no explanation at first.
Security informed us that there had been a bomb threat as we all stood outside the street. People started making their way home because we were prevented from returning to the building.
Some of TV’s biggest soap stars can be seen waiting outside the venue as more evacuate, including former Hollyoaks star Emmett J. Scanlan and EastEnders’ Tameka Empson, according to a video shared with The Mirror.
Additionally, a show source added that “the after party venue was required to be evacuated due to a security alert following the recording of the awards.” Everyone was safely cleared from the building.
ITV and the Metropolitan Police are in contact with The Mirror for comment.
EastEnders won the BBC show’s biggest award at the British Soap Awards last night, beating Emmerdale, Corrie, and Hollyoaks to take home Best British Soap.
Eight awards were awarded to the series, including Best Dramatic Performance for Steve McFadden and Best Single Episode for Phil Mitchell’s psychosis.
Emmerdale won two awards, Hollyoaks won three, and Coronation Street won just one, the Outstanding Achievement Award, given to David Neilson, who has played Roy Cropper for 30 years.
The ceremony was preceded by the biggest ITV, BBC, and Channel 4 stars, who both wore the same Oh Polly dress.
In an exclusive conversation with The Mirror, Jacqueline Jossa of EastEnders revealed that Lauren Branning’s most recent storyline about her blind child was “tough” to make. Being a mother, especially, she said, “It has really tugged at the heartstrings.”
She also addressed the rumors that her on-screen father Jake Wood, who plays Max Branning, would be returning to the soap. She remarked, “I am the worst at keeping secrets, so they don’t tell me anything.”
On Thursday, June 5th, the British Soap Awards will air on ITV1 and ITVX at 8 p.m.
