The
Britain’s Got Talent studio was evacuated after an unexploded 110lb Second World War bomb was discovered by builders near Wembley Stadium. Performers rehearsing for the ITV programme and more than 300 residents were among those cleared outside a 1,300ft (400m) police cordon in north-west London shortly before 3pm yesterday. The 50kg explosive, which is believed to have been dropped over the capital during Nazi bombing raids in the early 1940s, was discovered by builders working near the national stadium.
Police reportedly told bystanders that bombs of its size can take up to a week to remove, while the Army has warned of a ‘genuine risk to life’.
The delay could cause issues for Britain’s Got Talent’s live semi-finals which start on Monday, and will see judges
David Walliams, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and
Simon Cowell take to the panel.
It also threatened the Football League play-off finals, which are due to begin tomorrow at the stadium.
