Stephen Bear, pictured arriving at court on Thursday, was handed another prison sentence

Reality TV contestant Stephen Bear is back in prison after admitting breaching a restraining order that banned him from posting online about ex-partner Georgia Harrison.

The order was imposed when Bear was jailed in 2023 after he filmed and shared a video of the pair having sex on OnlyFans and WhatsApp without Harrison's knowledge.

The 36-year-old was told not to post or incite comments on social media about that case or Harrison but did so multiple times in 2025 while she was pregnant.

In a statement read to Chelmsford Crown Court, the Love Island star and campaigner said Bear's online presence left her "feeling petrified" and she feared for her safety. He was jailed for 16 months.

Bear, of Walthamstow, east London, admitted the charge of harassment – breaching of a restraining order, at a previous hearing in June.

Judge Christopher Morgan, who presided over the original trial in 2023, said Bear's posts and videos in 2025 were "to ensure the maximum harm [was] caused to Georgia Harrison".

"You knew all of that was untrue, and yet you posted it," he said.

"You left Miss Harrison, I'm afraid, at the mercy of any individual who had aligned themselves with your lies."

In addition to the prison sentence, the judge extended the restraining order to stop Bear from contacting Harrison's mother and her friend, which remains in place until a new order is imposed.

After serving half his original sentence, Bear was released from prison, but between 1 March 2025 and 21 July 2025 began posting on Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube and Facebook about the case and Harrison.

The court heard these were "consistently posted messages of the most abhorrent and harmful type".

Addressing Bear, the judge said: "What you did in that three to four-month period is simply victim-blaming."
