The ex-wife of David Bowie, Angie, will remain on British reality television show 'Celebrity Big Brother' following the death of the music legend, producers said Monday.
Angie Bowie was not aware of the 69-year-old's death Sunday until she was told by her representatives, because contestants in the show live in a house which is cut off from contact with the outside world.

"Following the very sad news of David Bowie's death, we can now confirm that Angie Bowie has been informed off camera by her representatives," said a spokesman for 'Celebrity Big Brother', a Channel 5 show.
"She has taken the decision to continue in the programme.
"The decision to remain in the house is entirely her choice, and she has been given the option to leave at any time if she changes her mind.

Angie Bowie, who is 66, was married to David Bowie for 10 years until their divorce in 1980, and the two have a son together, film director Duncan Jones.
She has previously told fellow contestants on the show that she had not seen her ex-husband for 40 years, adding: "I go to great lengths to avoid him."
