I've just re watched and it just gets funnier

The high point for me was Gemma's throwaway line "I want me shoes back"

Tiffany should now wear those shoes everyday.

All time great moment. Celebrity Fawtly Towers.

hahahaha was comedy Farce all was missing was Brian Rix....

same here. That is going to be there if I'm ever feeling fed up as it will send me into hysterical laughter. I woke up peeing myself again this morning. So many things were funny - thinking BB would leave a dead body in the bed, Christopher's face of shock when told, Darren checking the 'corpse', and when Tiffany questioned whether Angie was joking and Angie, clearly shaken and sad saying "I would never joke about anything like that" setting off the shitstorm of a breakdown. I thought for the first few seconds that Tiffany must be a huge fan of Bowie too!

Big Brother must be rubbing their hands over this one... the viewing figures must have gone through the roof.. I laughed myself, who wouldnt, but poor Tyfanny,..... thankfully she held her ground.. good on you Tyf..

I must be serious then, I didn't find it at all funny. Especially when Tiffany went at Angie and blamed her. An elderly lady has just lost someone who was a big part of her life at one time, and Tiffany shouting and screaming and overreacting.. Nothing at all was funny about that. But I hate arguments etc in reality shows anyway, a happy house is my form of entertainment

I thought it was clear who Angie was talking about, but yes, maybe she should have given a surname, or referred to him as 'my ex husband' etc. She should be allowed to grieve without being mocked for it.

I applaud John and others for trying to sort it out and untangle crossed wires. If that's an unpopular opinion, so be it.

funny how we all see things differently..... age has nothing to do with it... Angie couldnt wait to tell someone in the house and Tyfanny was the only one there, if you remember, she coaxed Tyfanny...with ...."you know theres something wrong " and Tyfanny nodded then Angie went on dying to tell her news to someone or anyone...... Tyfanny broke down thinking it was David Gest and there isnt supposed to be news from the outside world...She was hysterical but it was terrible news to her thinking David was up in the big chair not in the sky but the Diary Room.... Angie caused all this.. even tying her hair up with black ribbons....come on open your eyes to the truth..... Tyfanny was treated awful by them all and even Angie admitted later to causing it by not saying her ex husband david John doesnt try to quell anything, hes a trouble maker who up his own arse and wants to be the head bummer... think about it..

Thought about it and disagree xxxx

Angie never intentionally meant to imply it was David Guest. Maybe it was silly of her to think everyone would know it was David Bowie she was referring to, but it was clear to me. Tiffany had broke down and ran off before Angie had even been given a chance to explain.

Perhaps the gang mob against Tiffany was borderline ridiculous, (and John cannot be blamed for all of that, other responsible housemates were involved too), but then again, so was her reaction. I didn't even crack a smile, let alone laugh.

I don't think any of them are evil, it was a severe case of crossed wires, that really should have been resolved earlier. John did well.

I feel the same it was the highlight of the show I can't stop laughing sick I know

I just think it was a terrible misunderstanding on both sides

I agree with you. I thought CBB had sunk to a new low in the way they handled this. They basically exploited a mans death for entertainment purposes. It was uncomfortable viewing. Yes, it had a humorous side to it, but I still feel it was extremely inappropriate.

There was no excuse for Tiffany's behaviour. None whatsoever. She made it all about her. Anyone with an ounce of compassion would have immediately apologised to Angie, and the entire house, for misunderstanding and causing so much disruption and upset. To be honest, the moment Big Brother realised that Tiffany had misunderstood they should have called her to the diary room. They let that chaos play out for entertainment purposes with no thought to Angie's feelings. How can they say they are there to support her, when they let this happen?

I thought John handled the situation perfectly. You can forgive Tiffany for misunderstanding but not for her reaction afterwards. There was absolutely no need for that at all. She should be thoroughly ashamed of herself.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who cried laughing at this debacle Funniest thing I've ever seen and the best way to recover CBB from what could have been a real downer on the series. I bet The Starman was chuckling all the way through that
So easy to see why it happened and you couldn't have scripted it better. To Angie there was only one David on her mind but to Tiffany, the only David on her mind would be Guest. Like many others, for a split second I thought she was a huge Bowie fan but then I realised she'd got the wrong David and I creased. From then on it just got funnier
Tiffany didn't do herself any favours by insisting that Angie had said David Guest instead of admitting she had misunderstood.
I almost peed myself when Gemma said she wanted her shoes back.
Definitely one to save and watch again.
RIP David Bowie
Sincere condolences to all his family, friends and fans and I just hope that they are able to watch this at some point and picture him chuckling up there on his cloud xxx

The lady got some awful news,
Bout someone she once knew,
She thought about it long and hard,
And wondered what to do...

Will I leave and face reporters,
And get paid well for my story,
Or stay and win Big Brother,
And bask in all the glory..

Ill talk on air like others would,
To tell how I am grieving,
My hair Ill tie in ribbons,
You can bet Ill not be leaving,

Now who can I now lean on...
Oh John and David Gest,
Ill quote some album covers,
The one I liked the best..

I then ask if its ok,
Not to tell the others.
John and David quite agree,
God love them just like mothers.

I tiptoe down the staircase,
An audience I might meet,
But the kitchen it is empty.
And I now feel defeat.

But yes someone appears there,
Our Tyf a pefect tool,
Shes soft and I can talk to her.
Some see her as a fool

Angie tells that David gone,
Tyf recoils in horror,
No one asks what David.
As Angie didnt bother.

Tyf then takes a wulky,
And screams and does a run,
Angie swears and mumbles,
And wonders what shes done..

Tyf then tells the others,
Who are angry at the joke,
They check on poor old David,
In his bed and have a poke..

Hes ok we can all relax,
He only needs a rest,
Now find that woman burn the witch,
And put her to the test...

Then Angie tells the story,
Its her David whos in heaven
Its Bowie who has left the room..
Not Gest so shes forgiven..

Now the witch has turned around,
Its Tyfanny their after,
With sticks and stones and shouts and jibes,
Could this be any dafter...

Having read this thread just had me in hysterics and tears again!

Sorry but for me it was absolutely funny in how it went down. I genuinely thought for a moment that Tiffany was upset because of the death of David 'Bowie' (may he rest in peace).

I'm kind of on the fence with Tifffany because I can't believe that she would seriously think that a death of a fellow housemate would be kept by CBB and that only a few chosen ones would be told?!
And then they would let them stay in the house with a dead body!
I do now think being confined in the C/BB house for even a short amount really does strange things to your mind because clearly you don't think sensible when situations like these happen.

As for Angie, yes we could look at it as a error or mistake to not certify exactly which David she was talking about but in her state of mind, I feel it's very unfair that some on here are blaming her and saying it's her fault. I'm not gonna questioning her and David's relationship as it was in the present but for me that's neither here nor there. She shared ten years of her life with him and they had a child together. It would still be a shock and somewhat upsetting. And she would have to have a bit of a cold heart if it hadn't effected her in some way.

And yes I was very uncomfortable with how JP in particular acted regarding Tiffany and trying to get rid of her. However we are only seeing little bits of what is going in on the house so we are not getting the full view of what is happening in the house and how Tifffany is being with everyone. I'm not saying that JP is an innocent here but for me the key bit was in the way that Tiffany reacted to Angie and the name calling towards her. She was too agressive and it was uncalled for.

I don't think that either JP or Tiffany came out of this looking good.

Sorry, even over 12 hours later I'm still finding myself laughing about this at work

Me too 😃

I know it was all so absurb...first Angie in the diary room with her hair in black ribbons, now where did she get them ... why if she was so grieved did she not leave... and why, because her agent has told her that she could do a double dunter by staying in , she could make a fortune by both winnning and then giving her story to the tabloids.... oh what grace this woman has ..... well in my opinion.... poor Tyf used as a tool for her news, as she couldnt wait to tell them all.... but what a laugh it turned into ... tv gold.

I absolutely laughed my head off it was TV gold. It just from the start knew one person was talking about someone completely different and it all unfolded like a comedy farce

Checking David G under the quilt

Daniella saying David isn't dead he is in bed

Angie saying it's not going well

It was a genuine misunderstanding and to say Tiffany was OTT is unfair as she genuine believed it was DG who had died how would she know otherwise?

The housemates have behaved badly towards Tiffany especially John which I'm surprised at

When they play it back they will realise the massive mistake they made

I loved Bowie I grew up in his era. Something though so funny came out of something so sad could not have been predicted

I always had the Luisa and Liz bathroom scene as my most funniest CBB moment ever, but this has eclipsed it 10 fold! I keep bursting out laughing uncontrollably - it's a good job I'm at home today as people would think I'm nuts out in public!

John has sawed himself off big time... Maybe now they ll all have lights off in their own time when its bedibyes and not have to listen to his orders.

Its clear to you, to all of us because we were exposed to the media all day Monday. But Tiffany wasn't

Put yourself in her shoes and look at it from there. A woman who she thinks is somewhat batty takes her to one side and tells her that David has died.

Why should she realise that the woman is talking about someone from her past. Naturally her head went to the person they are living with. Particualrly as that person already complained of feelign unwell and had gone to lie down. Its not an unreasonable assumption to make.

Now with Tiffany thinking one of her fellow HM's is dead and lying just feet away, Angie seems to the only one that knows, is taking ownership and is trying to swear her to secrecy. She says I didn't plan it like this. Schh or the others will know etc. So she freaks out.

Horrible for all of them but classic farce from the safe perspective of looking back or an outside view

I said to my partner as we were watching it that if Bowie could see this he'd be laughing his socks off.
I'm absolutely devastated that David has passed away but this was very funny. I am surprised that the HMs don't seem that upset that David Bowie has died but I suppose it's just relief that David Guest is still with them.
