Stars who were having their hair and make-up done had to flee the studio half-dressed.
Professional skater Matt Evers said: "Oti's hairdresser accidentally set the fire alarms off the other Sunday – an hour before the show was due to start!
"We were all panicking, people were in hair and make-up, half-dressed."
The incident was dealt with and declared safe in time for the Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby fronted show to go on air as scheduled.
Matt added: "We found out later it was because Oti's hair straighteners were smoking. But as you saw, it all got resolved in time."
Meanwhile contestant Joey Essex has posted another snap of his gruesome finger injury while sharing a sweet message dedicated to his nan.
