Hertfordshire Police may enter the Big Brother house before tonight's eviction, London's Evening Standard newspaper has reported.
An unnamed "police source" is cited by the newspaper as saying: "It has become a serious investigation and we have received a wave of complaints. Officers want to speak to Shilpa, and the desire of Channel 4 to keep outside interference away from the house is not an issue."
The constabulary has been inundated with calls regarding alleged racism in the Big Brother house and have requested that viewers email them instead of calling 999 regarding the matter.
