The British Soap Awards experienced chaos on Saturday night as a bomb threat led to an emergency evacuation at London's Hackney Empire. The event, hosted by Jane McDonald, saw stars rushed out just before 1am, leaving guests bewildered and shocked. Reports depicted a scene of confusion as security personnel hurried attendees outside without explanation. Despite initial panic, guests remained outside for hours as the venue was sealed off. The awards, a highlight of the soap opera world, had earlier begun with a glamorous red carpet, highlighting the stark contrast between the celebration and the ensuing crisis.
It was total panic. Security rushed around and told everyone to get out immediately. At first, they didn't say why but soon we were told there was a bomb threat.
It was surreal. One minute we were celebrating, the next we were out on the pavement wondering what was going on.
