Angie, who married the singer in 1970, will have the news of his death, after an 18-month battle with cancer, broken to her at the earliest opportunity.
Contestants on the show have no access to telephones or any contact with the outside world.
The American former model went into the Big Brother house last Tuesday. It is unknown whether she will remain on the show following the news.
In an episode of the reality show she described her acrimonious split from Bowie; she said she had not seen him in 40 years.
She said: “I go to great lengths to avoid him ... It was terrible when we broke up, it was awful.”
The 66-year-old met Bowie when she was 19. They married at Bromley register office in 1970. She appeared as herself in the 1973 Ziggy Stardust film, and was the inspiration behind Bowie’s hit songs The Prettiest Star, Golden Years and Cracked Actor.
They had one child, Duncan Jones, but the pair divorced in Switzerland in 1980, with Bowie given custody of their son.
