I absolutely agree his treatment of Jodie and Aaron was appalling, but a little bit in his defense re Aaron's BB, if I remember rightly he did apologise to Aaron for that, as like many Celebs he seemed to be toeing the BB line at that time. Lauren Harries was even worse to Aaron, so glad she didn't win.

Pete Burns was a troubled Soul and I do find it sad that he died so young.

Oh I didn't know that Suze, he was a great housemate but in my view deserves no more or less respect than any other celeb who died before their time.

Agreed,especially his comments to Aaron,Burns was never an 'icon' as far as I'm concerned,he and Barrimore were bullies

[Suze]

One hit it may have been, but I love that record, so upbeat

Jodie should hush

[Ammi]

...they had no respect for each other at all and I don't think that Pete would have been bothered in her saying anything negative about him but I do think that he may have been bothered about her referring to Jimmy Savile in the same sentence..Jimmy Savile was evil, Pete was not...whether Jodie feels personally that he was isn't really the point...if she feels that he was such an awful person to be negatively vocal about his death/if she feels that he was that bad.../then what does that say about her, because to me she must have matched and equalled him in being quite a grim person just by her words.../she can say what she wishes of course and what she feels... but then she'll be judged as she judged Pete...

[Pete.]

A man has died and his family & friends are mourning. Can't people just chill for a while. Disappointed in Jodie

[Braden]

I really don't blame Jodie for her reaction though. It isn't that bad imo.

[Rob!]

Oh Christ she's such a dick

She didn't do anything wrong though, but i don't blame her for not saying anything because Pete was really vile towards her.

Difference between not staying anything and blasting people for being too nice about him. She should just keep quiet if she has any dignity surely? It's in incredibly bad taste

her reaction wasn't even that bad lol and she could have said bad things about him on tv but she declined which was for the best because after the way he treated her she hasn't got anything good to say about him because he isn't a saint. It was Karen who mainly blasted the nice things, Jodie just tweeted. They are allowed to say what they want.

[reece(:]

The Jimmy Saville comparison was a bit much

[Samm]

Jodie can rot, comparing him to Savile

[Braden]

I don't think Jodie was comparing Pete's actions to Jimmy Saville, but just commenting on the fact that people shouldn't have to pay respects when they die.

I think Pete was a legend, but he was a cutthroat personality. Not everyone is going be unhappy that he's passed. Pete wouldn't have give a **** anyway.

Exactly I doubt he would give two hoots and neither would he want people fawning over him and making out he was a saint when he really wasn't

[y.winter]

She didn't express joy over him dying. She just said the obvious (responding to someone) that she finds it weird that people praise him for his behaviour on cbb when she clearly experienced something else. She didn't say Saville=Burns. It's like avoiding the sentence and the context and focusing on specific words.

[Amy Jade]

I think Jodie's views are totally valid and I appreciate her being so honest - infact I find it odd fans of Pete, a pretty rude and abrupt person, are so offended.

Just because he's dead doesn't mean how horribly he treated her becomes non existent. Fans of reality tv wanting somebody to be fake?

[Jordan.]

Pete said it best

[Marsh.]

Ffs Jodie, it was ten years ago. Move on instead of using his death as a way to get an extra two minutes of fame.

Nobody's a bloody saint, but not everyone uses someone's death as an excuse to rake up the past and get attention. Yes, he treated her terribly on CBB ten years ago as he did several of the other housemates. But it's hardly of any relevance anymore.

[Amy Jade]

If she was using his death for a few minutes of fame surely she would have accepted the tv interview offer?
