Fathers storm Big Brother compound

A group of fathers' rights protesters have been arrested after entering the Celebrity Big Brother compound.

Hertfordshire Police said about 11 members of the Fathers For Justice group broke into the compound at the Elstree Film Studios, Borehamwood in Hertfordshire.

Security guards at the studio contacted police to report a group of men trespassing inside the compound and throwing fireworks.

At least one was wearing a now-familiar Superman outfit.

Insp Paul Lazell said three men had been arrested for breaching the peace.

About 12 officers and a police helicopter with heat-seeking equipment found the men, which Insp Lazell said was "a lot quicker than trying to round them up in the dark".

He said police had been tipped off that the group was planning to target the house.

Fathers For Justice founder Matt O'Connor told PA that the group was planning another raid on the house using "a form of air transport".

Mr O'Connor said about 15 protesters had planned to climb on to the roof of the house and drop supplies in for the contestants.

He understood some had managed to scale a series of fences but said security at the compound was "a damn sight tighter than at Buckingham Palace".Ananova

I just love the fact that BB has better security than BP!

A Fathers' rights campaigner today revealed why he tried to get inside the Celebrity Big Brother house.

Darryl Westell, from Nottinghan, was one of 15 protesters who tried to storm the house at 2.30am on Friday.

But Mr Westell, 22, and the fellow campaigners from Fathers 4 Justice were foiled before they could get into the set at the Elstree Film Studios in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire.

Today Mr Westell, of St James's Street in the city, would not divulge how long the protest had been planned, but said the Big Brother house was targeted specifically for "optimum" publicity. "We wanted to get our message through to the demographic audience of the show, 18 to 25-year-olds," he said.

"We wanted to tell them to be careful, that if they do have children they don't have an automatic legal right to see them.

"We had banners with us, but we were stopped before we made it into the house itself.

"We were hiding in the bushes at the other side of the garden fence, but we were spotted by helicopters using thermal imaging equipment."

Police say three of the protesters scaled a fence and got into the studio area, but not the house site itself.

Meanwhile, Mr Westell is due to stand trial on public nuisance charges tomorrow, following another protest last February. Dressed as Superman, he clung to the outside of a gantry over a main road in London.

There actually testing my patience.

I do think that fathers get a raw deal in some custody cases, but I don't think they are setting any kind of example by breaking the law,

I sympathise with them but now it's just getting tiresome they climbed on the big wheel in manchester the other week, i mean there must be lots of stunts they have done recently that havent made the papers so when does it all stop all these publicity stunts someones gonna get hurt.

Ha ha! Those men do get around, don't they?

Last summer, when myself and Gerbilmommy and Gerbilauntie were standing in the Tesco car-park, gazing at the BB compound, some nice lady came out and started speaking into a walkie-talkie in an agitated fashion.

Perhaps the sight of an eccentric middle-aged BB fan, and two stroppy teenagers was more threatening than Superman & Co.
