Celebrity Big Brother contestant and reality TV star Tiffany Pollard has pulled a t-shirt reading “David is dead” from her website following the death of her former housemate David Gest.
Tiffany made headlines earlier this year when she mistakenly thought that David had died during his stint in the Big Brother house after fellow housemate Angie Bowie told her that “David is dead”.
Angie of course was referring to her late husband David Bowie, while Tiffany thought that her friend and CBB contestant had passed away.
Much confusion followed as other housemates struggled to understand what had happened, as David Gest slept under a duvet in the communal bedroom.
A clip of the confusing exchange as been viewed over a million times on YouTube.
Since leaving the house, Tiffany has brought out her own line of t-shirts printed with her catchphrases including “David is dead”.
Following the news that David Gest had passed away, her management quickly pulled the shirts from her online store.
Unleashed PR tweeted confirming that Tiffany had not yet learned of the sad news.
