I dont think Angie would have agreed to show those scenes and I doubt it was up to her - these billionaires that run shows like this have the best lawyers - and make the best contracts- she signed up for it...she wasnt to know he was going to die. Of course its low however its also a tribute - her emotions will be real and I think we are all grieving and in a stange way its comforting. Especially for those of us who grew up with those two.

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

it will say allot about the people that just tune in on hearing this news ?

They gave her the option not to show it but she said show it. It was her call not BBs

I don't want to sound horrible here, but honestly I can see Angie milking this, just the way she was sitting with John and David Gest in the second clip last night already made it pretty obvious to me.

I really hope she doesn't though, and I honestly do feel for her because no matter how much she declared she hated him they were still married, had a child together and spent a good few years of their lives together.

I agree Josy, and my post mainly echoes yours, though you posted whilst I was typing.

Hi Kirk, I agree with you about the memories. David was never one of my all time faves, although some of his songs stir wonderful memories. I liked him better as an actor. Labyrinth was great and that prisoner of war film was really good too. (What was it called? You are my go to guy when I needed my memory jogging!!)

Hi Jenny,

It was the excellent 'Merry Christmas Mr lawrence' I think Jen.

I said this yesterday..I hope she doesn't but she has been clinging onto his name for the past however many years and tbf she is only in there because of him :S

True ,and Im sorry but the crying into her hands looked mighty fake to me

[bots]

For me it doesn't matter if Angie's reaction was true or false. History dictates by her actions and words what her position was. Also, by the words and actions of David before he died and her son. So, how she reacted to the news is pretty meaningless.

For me, the producers are milking the death in an unsavoury way. They didn't need to show that trailer, but they did. They don't need to focus on an event that occurred outside the house, but they will. All to try and gain a few more viewers who are only watching out of some morbid fascination.

The producers have shown repeatedly that they have no moral compass. They are the TV equivalent of the gutter press. Its no longer a show I want to watch

Not really since I don't know if they would have to ask permission to show diary room footage. Surely permission for that is taken care of when they go in.

It was stated on tv this morning that she granted permission for that to be shown

But that is irrelevant. Its still contrived gutter television.

[Livia]

Bowie's death is the most interesting thing to happen to Angie Bowie for decades and she's going to milk it for all it's worth. Meanwhile. Big Brother should be hanging their heads in shame at this appalling lack of taste and decorum.

welcome to Channel 5 and reality TV

[smudgie]

She won't have been told about it in the DR, her representatives will have been in one of the task rooms to have a private chat with her.
No doubt she will also have been advised as to if she should stay in the show or not, or even if she wants to stay in.
Once she had made her decision the chat in the DR will have taken place, no doubt with her permission.
No matter how it was done, I still find it distasteful.

[chuff me dizzy]

Yes ,very distasteful

[Ashley.]

Disgusting.

[wendywillow]

using the bowie stuff in the promo was tacky, but theyre going to show the aftermath on the show obviously and angie signed off on it so I don't have a problem with that

[Crimson Dynamo]

cant wait for all the fawning and croc tears tonight...

[Slevin]

when she said "the stardust is gone" made me cringe with something being fake. it was like she was acting with that line.
