Her and David were over a very long time ago, as long as she doesn't say anything disrespectful about him I can't see a problem.

If her and her 45 year old son have had no contact for decades I can't imagine either of them needing to rush into each other's arms for comfort.

Agree completely

She has his name still ,so do you think she gives a toss?

Maybe she just liked Bowie as a last name...

It's up to her. It's a hard call to make really for her she hasn't been married to him for over thirty years and as she explained doesn't get on with her, maybe she thought it was in poor taste to be intruding as clearly they didn't have a good divorce. Then again I see why she should have left too.

Either decision has its bad sides.

[sampvt]

she sees Bowie as a meal ticket, end of. When she gets out she will pump it some more in a book or whatever as well. No big deal here, women have been living off their x spouces for ever (Lady C Cambell) etc

[wendywillow]

how are people judging her on this when none of us know the full story between the two of them ?

Disappointingly, speculation is enough for some people.

[Shaun]

Yeah it's completely her decision, I can't really hold anything against her (although am confused by her keeping his surname too - and can see where Niamh/Kazanne are coming from about at least trying to reach out to Duncan)

We don't know the full story of any of them,but we still judge them don't we ?

[Ross.]

It's her decision to stay and I'm not really in a position to judge/criticise it

yes but that's based on whats happening in the house, none of us know what angie/david have gone thru behind the scenes. but I get your point

[Babayaro.]

I don't think anyone is in a position to say what she should and shouldn't have done. It's her decision and lets just respect that

Did she keep the name as part of her working career, I read that she's an actress and musician and wonder if that's partly a reason to keep Bowie?

Oh yes, absolutely and whether any of us right or wrong, we comment because we all have opinions.

It's what keeps the 'message board' world going.

I agree even if she didn't get on with him what about the children she had with him,does she not think about what their going through ,does she not think she should be there to support them,says a lot about the woman imo.

She only had one child with David who doesn't speak to her (although I do think she should leave and atleast try with him too)

[rusticgal]

....again you have to respect her decision. There was obviously no love lost between them..she has had no contact with her son (from what she has said). So why should she leave the house... If you have fallen out with people over the years, no matter who they are and what part they played in your life...why would your mindset change just because they have passed away. Wouldn't that be deemed two-faced?....why start pretending you actually care once someone has passed?...
I am sure if her son was young then she would have been there for him (maybe)...but he is an adult surrounded by people that have been there for him over the years where Angie hasn't.
I don't think we should crucify her for staying in the house...none of us really know the true facts.

David Bowie was a genius...I loved him and may he RIP. Angie seems a crankie, selfish box of frogs and I am not liking her...but I respect her decision.

[Northern Monkey]

I am not going to judge her.Although the rest of her family probably will and the public.It may be a bad move for those reasons.However if she does'nt give a shet about any of that(which i suspect is the case) then cool beans.
As long as she does'nt get all depressed and boring in there.If she does then she should feck off out for our sanity.

[Cal.]

I'm glad she has decided to stay. I hope she's okay.

[Headie]

I doubt she would even be invited to the funeral based on how bad terms she is on with the Bowie family according to what she said the other day, so her leaving probably wouldn't put her in any better position/opportunity than she was in before.

I completely respect her decision, at the end of the day it's hers to make.

[Kazanne]

Her daughter will be her sons half sister,maybe she would want to see him,are they all estranged?

I think for me it is not that she isn't going to bother as to the news and just stay in the house that gets me.

I don't think for one second, had she said she wanted to leave and then made an attempt to contact her son, that anyone could have judged her wrong in any way.

The fact, if this is so and how It ends up being, that she in a reality TV show, hardly doing life or death work, and has then chosen to stay in there,and in no way even make any attempt to contact her son,her son here,regardless of the fact they have nothing to do with each others, she still gave birth to him.
Then she opens up herself to public criticism.

You get one chance when a death occurs to do the right thing,I have no judgement on her at all, I think she cares what the public think of her however and for the life of me, I cannot see being in a reality TV show more important than even just trying to reach out.

I accept it could be really heartbreaking for her to try and get more rejection, the one thing she would know then however is she did try.
I would think if it ever came about, that her son was ever to say 'and where was she at this time, in a CBB series in England'.
Now IF she too wants nothing to do with her son, well therein lies a different story.

One thing is for sure and its the only thing too, she will only have this one opportunity to reach out once more to her own son at this time.
To not do so could haunt her for the rest of her life and for what,just a TV show.

[Denver]

It baffles me how low people go to dig at housemates that don't like she made the decision and I'm sure it wasn't easy but we have to respect that.

I'm sure the show would allow her a phone call to her son and if he wants her help I'm sure she will leave but right now there is nothing she can do and I doubt she would even be invited too the funeral
