Default BB using David Bowie's death in this way...
Does anyone else find this seriously distasteful?

I don't know why I expected anything else, but I can honestly imagine the producers rubbing their hands together at the news this morning and thinking of the publicity the show will pick up off the back of it as people tune in to see how the ex wife copes :S

I said in the chat thread, it wouldn't surprise me if they offered her more money to stay.

Complete agree. It's completely shameless and tacky of them to use a woman mourning her ex-husband to promo their show. I would have thought Angie would want those moments to be kept private and not be broadcast all over the nation

The producers have always been shameless though. Putting in a known homophobe for controversy/buzz and just last series they showed Janice having a fit in the diary room on camera

In very bad taste, but I wouldn't expect anything less from the current crop of producers.

That's the most distasteful thing Channel 5 have ever aired imo. Especially after they said they wouldn't film it.

I'm fairly sure that's just afterwards (she was told off-camera by her representatives), but it's still beyond tacky to advertise tomorrow's show with the clip

I thought it was a distasteful promo but her reaction in the diary room was very genuine and very human. Very sad.

The worst thing sometimes is that when someone dies, and there has been bad feeling, you realise that there will never the chance to say we had a good time didn't we and I'm sorry.

It was in bad taste for sure. They're just grabbing as many viewers as they can but it's wrong on every level.

Channel 5 will forever be sucking on the sump pump of sensationalism. Very tacky to promo the show with Angie mourning her ex husband.

It's disgraceful Vicky,they could at least have kept it private for now,i didn't think they could sink much lower,they just did.

Yes its bad taste.

I'm thinking they must have asked Angie if it was alright to air the scenes of her being told though.

I'm yet to watch the episode but they seriously created a one-off 'tomorrow' teaser to promote scenes involving a woman who has just recently been informed of the death of her ex husband?

A new low.
