Reality TV contestant Stephen Bear has been jailed for 21 months for sharing a private video of him having sex with his ex-partner.

Bear, 33, shared CCTV footage of himself and Love Island contestant Georgia Harrison having sex and uploaded it to OnlyFans.

He was found guilty of voyeurism and disclosing private, sexual photographs and films in December. Harrison said she had been through “absolute hell” since 2020.

Bear was also issued with a five-year restraining order at Chelmsford Crown Court. In December, he was found guilty of disclosing private sexual photographs and films.

Harrison, who has appeared on TV shows The Only Way Is Essex and Love Island, said she did not know they were being recorded at the time.

She said that when Bear showed her the footage she told him “never to send” it to anyone and “made it plain how upset she would be if he did”.

Bear had denied all charges, but a jury found him guilty by unanimous verdicts of two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress.

He was found guilty by a majority verdict of 10 jurors to two of voyeurism.
