A bomb threat from an anonymous caller prompted the organizer of the reality TV show, "Germany's Next Top Model" to whisk away the host and lead Judge Heidi Klum and two other judges.
The bomb threat was called in to the SAP Arena, Manheim in Southwest Germany --- the venue were the Germany's Next Top Model was being filmed. The caller said that the bomb would go off during the live telecast of Heidi Klum's show, which was in its 10th grand season finale.

Heidi Klum and her daughter Leni were moved to a safe place, followed shortly by thousands of people in the venue. The audience of Germany's Next Top Model were said to have walked out of the building calmly but left sweaters and other things on their seats.
Germany's Next Top Model was cut off from air citing "technical problems' as the show's organizer called in the Mannheim Police Department to search the bomb in the building. The Mannhelm Police Department using sniffer dogs, found a suspicious bag near the changing room but it was revealed later to be non-hazardous.
After a full search was made, no other suspicious items were found.
A spokesman for the Mannheim police told Reuters that the call which came from an anonymous female caller was received in the SAP Arena at 9 p.m., local time. An Investigation to identify the caller is still ongoing.
After the all-clear declaration was given by the police, broadcaster ProSieben issued a statement saying that they were "very relieved that nothing bad happened."
Four young women were competing in the finale of the 10th series of Germany's Next Top Model, originally introduced by model Tyra Banks in her America's Next Top Model. Heidi Klum said the producers would announce the name of the winner in the next few days.
Heidi Klum, Germany's first top model for Victoria's Secret and now an entrepreneur owning a lingerie line company posted a picture of herself on Twitter with the finalists from the competition.
"The evening did unfortunately not end the way I wished for! Safety comes first!" Heidi Klum's post said after the Germany's Next Top Model bomb threat.
