Disgraced reality TV star Stephen Bear has reportedly been moved to an isolation wing for vulnerable prisoners while serving a jail sentence.
It comes after Bear was jailed for 21 months for secretly filming an outdoor romp with then-girlfriend Georgia Harrison and uploading the clip to the website OnlyFans. He was convicted of voyeurism and two counts of disclosing private, sexual photographs and films.
A source claiming to be an insider has told the Mirror that the disgraced star is 'a concern' as other prisoners 'know what he's done'.
Sources say jail staff are "on orders to keep an eye on" the former Celebrity Big Brother winner over concerns for his welfare. The insider added: "Bear is being treated with kid gloves."
The insider said: "There’s always a concern about high-profile prisoners. Everyone in here knows what he’s done and how he fancies himself as a celebrity."
Bear showed no remorse at his trial, arriving at Chelmsford Crown Court in a chauffeured Rolls-Royce. On the day he was sentenced, he posed for a selfie and sang 'Lady In Red' to reporters.
HMP Chelmsford, Essex, where Bear is currently jailed, has been dogged by self-harm problems and even has a Samaritans service.
Georgia, who waived her right to anonymity, told an ITV documentary this week: "I've had my dignity and my privacy ripped [ from] beneath me, I’ve had my life changed forever. I've lost self-respect. I feel guilt, I feel ashamed. And he’s just laughing, joking, having the time of his life."
Georgia, 28, did not know the tape which Bear filmed existed until men began telling her they had seen it.
