The Celebrity Big Brother house was put into lockdown after a TikToker broke into grounds, it is reported.

The West London ITV studio enacted its emergency protocol after a drone was flown into the garden area of the compound.

At the time Hollywood star Mickey Rourke can be seen working out on a cycling machine while looking up at the buzzing device, as former MP Michael Fabricant stood with him.

The Sun reports that producers ordered the housemates inside and locked the house as the drone attempted to land.

A source told the publication: ‘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.

‘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.’

The outlet report the TikTokker responsible also targeted the launch night.

The 12 famous faces to enter the house on Monday evening were Chesney Hawkes, EastEnders icon Patsy Palmer, Gen Z sensation Jojo Siwa, chat show host Trisha Goddard and Drag Race UK winner Danny Beard.

Also entering the house are Love Island’s Chris Hughes, TV presenter Angelica Bell, actress Donna Preston, Olympian Daley Thompson, Towie’s Ella Rae Wise, and actor Jack P. Shepherd.

The short time in the house so far has proved dramatic already, with housemate Rourke at the centre of controversies.

The launch episode on Monday saw fans fuming over the 72-year-old actor’s behaviour towards host AJ Odudu, after he grabbed her and pulled her towards him before eyeing her up and down.

Viewers were horrified, calling his actions ‘creepy’ and vile’, with some even saying it was ‘harassment’.

He then received a formal warning from Big Brother about ‘offensive and unacceptable’ homophobic language.

After his warning, Rourke said: ‘I apologise. I don’t have dishonourable intentions – I’m just talking smack you know. I wasn’t taking it all so serious. I didn’t mean in it any bad intentions and if I did, sorry.’

He previously admitted to never having seen the show before, and seemed to be in the dark about what the concept was.

Rourke previously told The Sun his career is ‘in the toilet’ following his prominent roles in 80s action heartthrob in movies like Angel Heart and Rumble Fish and foray into professional boxing.
