ITV forced to issue statement as Tiffany Pollard is told CBB star is dead in repeat of iconic moment

ITV was forced to put out a statement after Tiffany Pollard accidentally recreated her infamous 'David's dead' moment.

The TV personality re-entered the Big Brother house last night, joining housemates Yasmin, Twinks, Sam, Rochelle, Philip, Lynx, Catrin, Omar, Rhianna and Frankie as their final celebrity houseguest.

And the 44-year-old wasted no time in making headlines.

During a conversation with Twinks and Rochelle about her 2016 stint on the celebrity version of the reality series, Tiffany was recalling her previous housemates when the iconic 'David's dead' moment came up in conversation.

For anyone who's not familiar with this infamous piece of Big Brother lore, Angie Bowie's tearful admission that her ex-husband David Bowie had died was misunderstood by Tiffany – who believed she was referring to sleeping housemate David Gest.

The group paid their respects to Gest, who died later that year, before Twinks mistakenly declared that Angie had also passed away.

Tiffany was clearly shocked by the revelation, shouting: "No, she didn’t? She died."

"I think she did," Twinks replied.

Twinks then questioned whether or not her statement was accurate, while Tiffany was left in shock.

"I don’t wanna be making up rumours," a panicked Twinks added. "I’m pretty sure Angie’s not here."

But unlike Tiffany, who is deprived of access to the internet for the next couple of days, we can reassure you all that Angie is still very much alive and kicking.

ITV even made sure to remind viewers of this when sharing the clip on social media, writing, 'For legal reasons, Angie is not dead xxx,' underneath the post.

Glad we've cleared that one up.

When Tiffany isn't reacting to the news of fake celebrity deaths, she's making sure to stir up drama in the house – proven by the fact that she wasted no time in going toe to toe with Philip.

Tiffany questioned Philip about his behaviour during a rather intense dinner between the housemates, asking the 53-year-old why so many people seem to have a problem with him.

She then declared that the public were deeming him to be a 'huge backstabber' due to his behaviour in the house, a comment with the self-proclaimed Queen of Scotty Road didn't take too kindly to.

"I'm really upset with what you said Tiffany, to be honest with you," Philip later declared, sparking a huge blow-up between himself and Tiffany.

The drama doesn't end there either, as a preview for tonight's episode revealed that Philip and Tiffany will have another bust-up other comments he'd allegedly made about other housemates.

Big Brother continues on ITV and ITVX.
