Angie Bowie intially seemed composed on camera after being told off-camera of his death.

Housemates called for Tiffany to leave after she refused to apologise to Angie.

“I haven’t seen him in so many years, I can’t make a big drama out of it”, she said. “I’m so very sad”, she remarked.

He told her: “I think what we should all do is we should all get together, get it sorted, get the air cleared, everyone will feel a lot better, then we’ll sit down and have dinner and it will all be fine”. “David’s dead”, she told Tiffany Pollard in the kitchen.

Believing Angie meant David GEST, who was resting up in bed from illness at the time, Tiffany went into full on meltdown mode howling and screaming: “You’re playing, I know you’re joking!”

“I know Big Brother would not want me pain especially when I give 24 hour entertainment”.

Social media users also criticised Angie for deciding to stay in the house, going as far as to accuse her of capitalising on his death.

The pair were married for a decade and had a son, Duncan Jones, who was born in 1971.

In the January 13 highlights episode broadcast on Channel 5, John was shown advising the 34-year-old about ways she could improve her temperament.

“I want my shoes back”, was one of the lines and it was quickly confirmed to have been said by Gemma about Tiffany. Angie Bowie told Pollard: “You gotta do me a favour, you can’t say a word”.

As part of a task set by Big Brother, the housemates were allowed to listen to quotes said in the house and guess which famous name had said them.

David Bowie died on Monday after an 18-month battle with cancer.
