Big Brother bosses have been blasted for filming a fake funeral in a cemetery where a real one was going on.

Show chiefs gathered 30 ex-housemates for the TV ad to promote the last ever BB, which starts next month.

But mourners at a real funeral were disgusted when the wannabes started squabbling among the graves.

One witness said: “They’ve plunged to a new low as far as bad taste goes.”

The spoof sees ex housemates burying the diary room chair while BB narrator Marcus Bentley, 42, plays the vicar.

Spencer Smith, 30, a star of the third series of the C4 reality show, said: “No-one expected a real ­funeral to be taking place.”

Last night an official at Wandsworth Council, which looks after the cemetery at Putney Vale, south London, said: “We took precautions to ensure filming did not impact on anyone else in the cemetery.”

A Big Brother spokesman said: “We were in constant contact with the cemetery over filming for the advert.”
