'David is dead' Chaos as CBB's Tiffany Pollard thinks Angie Bowie means David GEST
DAVID BOWIE'S ex-wife Angie will be seen on tonight's show being informed of the musician's death - but when she then tells another housemate, chaos ensues when they think she is referring to fellow contestant David Gest.

Tiffany Pollard, a US reality star, is told "David is dead" by the bereaved 66-year-old, and she has a hysterical breakdown when she believes the news relates to Liza Minelli's former husband.
The ensuing scene causes confusion, with Danniella Westbrook eventually telling her: "She means her ex-husband, David."
Angie had earlier been told off-camera by her agent about Bowie's death, which happened late on Sunday night as a result of a secret cancer battle.
Returning to the Diary Room, she says: "I think I’ll feel better if I cry, but I can’t cry at the moment.

I haven’t seen him in so many years, I can’t make a big drama out of it; I just feel like an era has ended with his passing
"I haven’t seen him in so many years, I can’t make a big drama out of it; I just feel like an era has ended with his passing. I’m so very sad.”
She eventually breaks down in tears and is comforted by John Partridge and Gest.
Partridge, alongside Jonathan Cheban and Gemma Collins, later confronts Tiffany over her explosive misunderstanding and her refusal to apologise to Angie.
“You don’t have to talk to me! I know people can’t stand me and are just tolerating me," she rages.
Having a tantrum to Big Brother, she vents: "I’m ready to go! I’m f***ing leaving! This whole house has a problem with me!”
The mess is eventually cleared up

She does, however, later say sorry to Angie and the pair make up.
Channel 5 received vast criticism last night when a clip of Angie's reaction to Bowie's death was used as a teaser for tonight's episode.
Ofcom have said they will investigate only if they feel it is necessary once all complaints have been reviewed.
Celebrity Big Brother airs tonight at 9pm on Channel 5.
