Angie Bowie shut down a Loose Women presenter over questions about her relationship with her son.

Angie refused to continue after Jane Moore aksed why she did not fight for custody of Zowie, who is now known as Duncan Jones, 44, when she divorced from his father David Bowie.

“I had Zowie for David,” the former Celebrity Big Brother contestant said. “I said to him I will never fight for custody. David and his father were so close.

"What kind of person would I have been if I'd used my son as a weapon on my tool belt when we got divorced? Is that not disgusting behaviour?"

When asked whether the news of David’s death would encourage her son to reach out, she replied: “I doubt it.”

She continued: “Last time I saw him he was 13 or 14. It wasn’t a tricky age he was busy working and studying.”

Tired of the line of questioning, the former model finished: "I'm sorry I don’t really have much else to say about it. That's how I feel about it.

"It hurts me, and when something hurts me I put it in the back of my head and I close the door. You can ask me until I'm blue in the face, and I will say 'yeah whatever'."

Angie was informed of David’s death off camera while in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

She confided in Tiffany Pollard who mistakenly believed their fellow housemate David Gest had died and a furious row erupted.
