Angie Bowie has quit Celebrity Big Brother.

The former model and wife of David Bowie, 66, has been threatening to leave for days after suffering from a lack of sleep and feeling unwell.

A spokesperson for the Channel 5 show said: “After being unwell for a few days, Angie Bowie has decided to leave the Celebrity Big Brother House. Her exit will be addressed in tonight’s live show on Channel 5 at 9pm.”

Bowie threatened to leave the house last weekend after becoming "cranky" over a lack of sleep.

On Monday night viewers saw her make a second attempt to leave. After packing her suitcase she went on a rampage in the Diary Room, shouting: "I want to leave now! Get me my stuff! Give me my stuff! Now!"

She then demanded: "Get me a car, and let me get gone. If you wanna be cheap just get me an Uber."

After switching the Diary Room lights on and off and bashing on the door she continued her plea to leave.

"Please get me my stuff and then I won't touch any of your equipment," she said.

"You did it - you cracked me. Ooooh. It was all going to be just peachy until you decided that the smart day to drive me crazy was to have another of your pathetic parties where you inebriate this people with alcohol and I can’t sleep. No, it’s over. Get me my s***. I am not staying here another minute. Get me out of here now.”

Last week Bowie found herself at the centre of a furious row with Tiffany Pollard after the reality star mistakenly believed David Gest had died.

Bowie confided in Pollard after she was informed of the death of her ex-husband David Bowie, but the Flavor of Love star assumed "David is dead" was about Gest.

Pollard became hysterical before launching into an expletive rant at Bowie on discovering Gest alive and well in his bed.

Ofcom received more than 200 complaints about the coverage.

Her exit comes a day after David Gest left the show for “medical reasons”.

A tweet on his official account confirmed the news: "Sorry guys but @DavidGest2016 is a bit poorly just now! When he is all fixed we will let ya know xx."

Tonight's live eviction will go ahead as planned.

Celebrity Big Brother is on Channel 5 tonight at 9pm.
