The former model was married to the Space Oddity singer from 1970 to 1980.
After divorcing, David was granted full custody of their son Duncan Zowie Jones, 44.
Angie recently revealed that she is not in contact with Jones.
Speaking to David Gest on Celebrity Big Brother, she said: “No, I don’t see [Duncan] at all, he doesn’t like me. But my daughter likes me. I guess David told him not to [talk to me]. It does seem odd.”
