The 'Big Brother' house has been hit by a security scare.
AJ Odudu and Will Best co-host the ITV show
Staff members recently confronted a YouTuber who was attempting to fly a drone over the house and the surrounding TV studios.
A spokesperson for the show told The Sun newspaper: "We have robust and rigorous security measures in place across our site for the safety of the 'Big Brother' house, production team and Housemates. Safety and welfare is always a priority."
The YouTuber reportedly claimed that he hacked the 'Big Brother' radio systems, meaning he was able to eavesdrop on the conversations between members of the production team.
A security team tried to remove the man from the area but he initially refused to leave, arguing that he was on public highway and that his efforts were simply "fair game".
'Big Brother's new series - which is hosted by AJ Odudu and Will Best - debuted on ITV over the weekend.
The broadcaster announced a "welfare package" for the contestants before the long-awaited launch show.
ITV said in a statement: "All housemates will be supported with an individual support plan that includes sessions with the show’s mental health professionals prior to entering the house, throughout their time in the house and beyond.
"Housemates will be required to adhere to a social media blackout and will undergo respect and inclusion training to set out expectations around use of language and acceptable behaviour in the house.
"The welfare protocols in place for 'Big Brother' housemates have evolved over the show’s more than 20-year global history.
"The protocols in place for the 2023 ITV series have been evaluated and reviewed with ITV’s compliance and Duty of Care team, the mental health professionals engaged for this series and 'Big Brother’s welfare team, including Banijay UK’s Head of Welfare."
