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.

I'm not surprised.

Anything for ratings... very distasteful.

Awful but wouldn't Angie have agreed to air it :suspect:

The promo for tomorrows show was gross

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 :umm2:

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 thought they were telling her in private? Gross

I 100% agree with everything you have said Vicky.

So did I, so much for respect.

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.

It's Channel 5, I'm mean what did you think they were going to do?

Disgusting.
They have seriously crossed the lines of human decency.

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.

Honestly I expected it (they could get into trouble if Angie did not give permission)

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 would stop watching in protest,but I can't I am far too nosey.

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? :umm2:

A new low.

I agree

the news has been showing people mourning all day. for me it looks heartfelt and fitting.

Not really shocking as it was to be expected.

It was disgusting. I actually feel guilty watching it.

Yes I think its the final realisation that it cant be changed thats difficult to take.
I hope that she is able to reconcile with her son.

I missed the promo....they aired them telling her or her reaction afterwards?

Totally agree with you Vicky

I certainly hope so.
Angie being told should be a very private moment without the eyes of the nation gaping at her.
I don't like the thought of her giving permission to screen it either, but it's preferable to them doing it without asking her.

Can we have Bowie added to the title? To not confuse with David the HM

So ****ing tacky.

The whole point of BB is showing footage 24 hours a day. Besides, Janice's fit was overly dramatic anyways.

I kinda expected it and if the news channel was anywhere near Angie's home they would be filming her coming out of the house. That doesn't make it right but it's the world of media and paparazzi we live in.

Bowie touched so many people's life's his death will no doubt-ably attract more people to tuning into the news programs to see how other people have reacted.

Death has a morbid curiosity about it that draws people in.


It's awful, but I am curious with how Angie reacts to this news tomorrow and the rest of the housemates for that matter.


I hope Angie talks about the positives from her relationship with David.

She obviously gave them permission to air it. They would hardly have decided to do so themselves. Don't see the issue.

Yes they did
then got 2 others
to do a Edit.

Its a Set Up

Get Angie Out

Maybe they had inside information about DB´s condition and that´s why they cast Angie in the house.

They might have had this planned all along.

Illuminati?

No Way
some knew he was going die
but it was kept Private.

She could leave in a Black window Car
to a place no press can touch her


Its Bollocks

Its a Deal
they want Ch5 on Front pages


But the BBC hates showing Ch5.


It Stinks
Viacom have big money
USA Owners of Ch5
