However, at the end of last night's show Big Brother screened footage of Angie in the Diary Room where she became upset.
"I haven’t seen him for 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."

Big Brother’s spin-off show CBBBOTS showed Angie explain to fellow housemates her reasons for staying, adding “If I don’t leave I look callous, if I stay I look callous, you know what I mean?"
Angie hasn't had contact with David, or the former couple's son, Duncan Jones for many years and her decision to remain part of the show has come under criticism.
