Celebrity Big Brother fans have reacted angrily after a clip was aired showing housemate Angie Bowie reacting to the death of her ex-husband David Bowie.

The singer died on Sunday, aged 69, after a battle with cancer.

In the clip, which aired on Monday night, Angie was shown in the Diary Room reacting tearfully to the news.

She decided to remain on the show, and is still able to leave at any time if she wishes.

Angry viewers criticised Channel 5 for using Angie's grief as a teaser for the next episode.

Big Brother said Angie was told about David Bowie's death "off camera" and chose to remain in the house.
