It was just a misunderstanding, Angie should have said DAVID MY EX HUSBAND HAS DIED, FFS.
I agree. If a housemate wasn't in the diary room and known what had transpired before, then who would be the first David they'd think of when the news got to them?

Don't forget when Tiffany told other housemates that David is dead, they too thought she meant the David who's living with them.

I dedicated my whole evening yesterday to watching David Bowie videos and listening to his songs. Am gutted over his death. I cry laughed at the first 20 minutes of the show tonight. It reminded me of that Only Fools and Horses episode where Cassandra loses her baby and Del's grief suddenly turns from being devastating to the viewer to absolute hilarity- genuine sadness in this episode but sometimes life is a funny old thing. And this was funny.

I laughed because it was total insanity that only happens on BB. It was the most ridiculous ridiculousness. Tiffany was very tiresome though, and even if David GUEST was dead, she was too much. Anyone might make the mistake she made, but her reaction seemed too extreme. Then she just kept it up and got more and more and more unpleasant.

It was hilarious

All the dramatics and over acting from everyone and David guest lay in bed snuggled up while he's being mourned in the garden.
My OH came in just after this and found me incoherent with laughter. It certainly was a comedy of errors and I haven't laughed as much for a long time!

I laughed out loud at poor Angies face !! She had no idea why Tiffany was reacting like that !! Tiffany was wondering why Angie was so calm and keeping it quiet that David was dead in the bedroom !' The only two who knew the facts , one is in bed sick , the other takes a shower and all hell breaks loose !! David Gest wakes to find himself being checked for dead !!
Still laughing at the farce !'
Don't forget the awkward moment when Tiffany started laughing and turned to Angie to ask if she was joking, and the face Angie had when she looked directly back at her.

No one seemed terribly bothered about David Bowie actually dying.
The younger ones may never have heard of him.

It was slightly amusing then suddenly took a dark turn when they started ganging up on Tiffany.

It feels so wrong but I can't stop laughing and this thread has brought it all back. I reckon David Bowie would have seen the funny side.

I didn't really care. Tiffany has behaved as an A1 nasty b***h since she first set foot in there.

Given the disdain for his ex wife and her living off his name I'm not so sure he would.

Probably, but I felt for poor old Angie.

So if you had been living with someone 24/7 for over a week, and they suddenly died, you wouldn't be so shocked and upset, especially if you actually liked that person? I'd be really upset myself if David Gest had suddenly died!


I was laughing like a drain. I watched that bit twice. It was just incredibly funny, that is until Judge John got involved. What a nasty piece of work, and shame on the rest of them for having no backbone. Why can't they see it was a genuine mix up?

Oh it will never be topped... it just couldn't.... it was absolutely hilarious !!! Where to begin... Angie in the pigtails with the wild red lipstick set the scene. Something very "Baby Jane" about the whole scenario !! Tiffany's hysterics..... the fact that David Gest has looked embalmed for about a decade only added to the LOLs..... complete with duvet over head just to set the scene as it were..... the tentative approach to his bed... just to check.... how would they tell for the love of God... hold a mirror over his gob would be the only way ! Oh this is going to be a YOUTUBE phenomenon !!! This will be talked about for years to come, and just when you are getting your breath back from giggling... out comes.... " I want my shoes back" !! Oh... beam me up Scotty !!!
Oh gosh this post is so funny

Jonathan even went on to say her (ex)husband isn't dead either. I think they're all hypocrites because they thought Angie was making things up until John came out of the shower. That's when they turned on Tiff. None of their concern is genuine they just want to look good to the public.

It wasn't really funny, more like embarrassing. All Tiffany had to do was clarify "David Who?" but no, she would rather just fly off the handle, make a big dramatic scene and drag everyone else into her (probably manufactured) drama

What kind of idiot just starts crying, rolling around on the floor and telling others that someone (the wrong person) has died without even trying to clarify the facts of the situation? She completely embarrassed herself

Darren and Chrisopher's faces as they pulled the covers off David, who was just waking up, which I didn't notice when I first watched it, had me laughing again. They almost jumped back as he moved.
