Bomb Threat Evacuates British Soap Awards After-Party

The British Soap Awards after-party in London was evacuated due to a bomb threat shortly before 1 a.m., with security teams ensuring all attendees, including celebrities, were safely removed and no injuries were reported. The main awards ceremony had concluded hours earlier at a different venue, so the threat did not interrupt the live event itself. High-profile stars such as EastEnders' Tameka Empson and Hollyoaks' Emmett J Scanlan were among those evacuated and seen waiting outside. ITV confirmed the security incident and emphasized the safe evacuation of all guests. EastEnders dominated the awards, winning eight honors including Best Dramatic Performance and Scene of the Year, while Hollyoaks and Emmerdale also received awards. Authorities have not released further information on the bomb threat, which remains under investigation.
