Celebrity Big Brother’s 2016 series provided some of the show’s most memorable moments ever
The seventeenth series of Celebrity Big Brother, which aired on Channel 5 in January 2016, is remembered for some of the most unforgettable moments in reality TV history.
Recently, fans took to Reddit to reminisce about the season, with one dubbing it the most ‘iconic’ series ever.
The series is particularly remembered for the infamous ‘David’s dead’ meme, which originated when David Bowie’s ex-wife, Angie, was informed of the music icon’s passing.
In a private conversation away from the other housemates, Angie shared her grief with American reality star Tiffany Pollard. However, Tiffany misunderstood and believed their fellow housemate, David Gest, had died.
This led to Tiffany putting on a dramatic show of mourning for the American film producer, who was very much alive and still in the house, reports the Daily Star.
The misunderstanding was eventually cleared up, but not before it sparked a wave of OfCom complaints. Tragically, David Gest passed away just three months after leaving the show, following a stroke.
