The Big Brother house has reportedly been locked down once again after another security breach. Just last week, housemates were said to have been locked inside after tennis balls were thrown over the garden in what appeared to be an attempt by fans to communicate with them.
In the following episode, viewers saw balls thrown over the wall carrying written statements, including “Lynx has a girlfriend” – something he denied. Housemates were then told to enter the house immediately while bosses investigated the matter.
Second round of tennis balls
It appears the same has happened again, as reports suggest more tennis balls with more statements have been thrown over the wall. This time, three balls were thrown over as “tennis the menace” struck again, with messages including Pauline eating non-organic crisps as well as Philip being favourite to win the show.
After reports of the incident were shared online, many fans took to social media to share their confusion. On Reddit, one person wrote: “I’m sorry but having been to an audience of bb (albeit last year), there’s no way people are getting in there to throw balls. I’m sorry I don’t buy it.”
Fan reactions
Another said: “This is lightweight behaviour. Plane banners with spoilers is peak. Up your game Mr Tennis Menace.” A third replied: “The crisps one is b***** funny actually.”
A fourth commented: “Part of me loves it as its so classic BB, part of me hates it because outside world info”, as a fifth penned: “According to google maps there does seam to be a public path that backs onto the garden, so it could possibly be members of the public.”
Housemates ordered inside
It is not yet known whether the incident will feature in the episode again, but according to reports, the housemates were once again ordered to go inside.
A source told the Sun: “The house is on lockdown again because Tennis the Menace has struck again. Three balls were thrown over the wall for the housemates to read, and they all had different messages on them.
“Before getting ordered to go inside in a bid to stop them from getting their hands on any other information, the housemates were too quick and read what was on the tennis balls.
“There was one about Pauline eating non organic crisps, another about Rochelle being right after her huge argument with Pauline and Johanne and something about Philip being favourite to win the show.”
Big Brother continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
