Angie Bowie says unlikely she will see son Duncan again

Angie Bowie has praised ex-husband, David, for the “staging” of his death, but said she doubted she would ever see their son, Duncan, again.

The Celebrity Big Brother contestant said that she had been unaware of the singer’s cancer, she told the Loose Women team in her first live TV interview since quitting the house. The 66-year-old former model said of his death: “It was fine, except I couldn’t believe it. I thought I would die first. I don’t think anyone knew (he’d been unwell). In fact, let me take this opportunity to say I think he staged his passing rather well. Our rancour with each other almost kept us going and I realised I wasn’t angry any more and I thought, ‘Oh, my God’.”

Asked if she felt regret at not being able to tell David that she no longer felt angry, Bowie replied: “No, no regret whatsoever. He was obnoxious when he was obnoxious and that’s it. But I realised the possibility that I would never hear from him again.”

The Loose Women team challenged her as to why she had never tried to get custody of son, Duncan Jones, born Zowie.

Host Jane Moore asked: “But why did you not fight at the time?” Bowie said: “Because it’s not an issue of fighting, I had Zowie for David.” Moore pushed: “So you didn’t want children?” She replied: “No, it wasn’t a question of that. I said to him at the time ‘I will never fight you for custody’. David and his father were this close. Now what kind of a person would I be if I used my son as a weapon in my tool belt during that divorce? Is that not disgusting behaviour?”

Bowie last saw Duncan when he was “13 or 14” and a student at Gordonstoun, in Scotland, and she said the situation would likely not change.
