Speidi receive death threats

 

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have suffered abuse and been the ‘hate’ couple of reality TV since their days on The Hills, but things have taken a dramatic turn as Celebrity Big Brother bosses have been forced to increase security around the couple after they received death threats.

Channel 5 chiefs have guaranteed that close protection from minders will be on hand for the couple known as Speidi when they get evicted.

A crew member told the Daily Star newspaper: “Initially everyone seemed to love their meddling, but now it’s turned into real hatred.”

On top of their less-than-charming behaviour in the house the former Hills stars have come in for even more criticism after photographs of the couple, who have previously voiced support for the pro-gun National Rifle Association, posing with weapons emerged online.

One Celebrity Big Brother viewer said: “I hope both Heidi and Spencer get shot in the head and die, that would be great.”

Another tweeted Heidi saying: “You and your fella need a bullet each between the eyes.”

And celebrities watching have joined the campaign against Spencer and Heidi.

Fashion presenter Gok Wan tweeted: “Rylan has got to win. Speidi get right on my wok! X”
