I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the only reason one goes on the UK’s Celebrity Big Brother show is to grab every bit of attention they can.

With that in mind it’s little wonder that Angie Bowie, ex-wife of David, has chosen to stay in the house following the news of his death. What has come under the most fire is Channel 5’s decision to air Angie’s reaction to the news itself, many viewers feeling like they exploited her grief for ratings purposes.

Angie’s manager has hit back at those critics, praising the channel for how they handled the situation. Over to the Daily Beast:

“She had plenty of time to consider her position,” Ray Santilli [said]. “She made the decision to go back in the house, she made the decision to be interviewed afterwards.

“Obviously when Big Brother was talking to her and asking questions, it is emotional. The whole Big Brother experience is emotional and she knew that before she went in to the house.”

Channel 5 had been “magnificent” in how it had handled the situation Santilli said. “They’ve left it entirely up to her to make the decision. She had no pressure. She’s an intelligent woman and she knows what she’s doing.”

Indeed, I have a feeling she does know exactly what she’s doing.
