Disgraced Stephen Bear moved to isolation wing for vulnerable prisoners
Disgraced reality TV star Stephen Bear is understood to have been moved to an isolation wing for vulnerable prisoners.
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.”
Bear, 33, was jailed this month for secretly filming an outdoor romp with then-girlfriend Georgia Harrison and uploading the clip online.
It is said to have earned him at least £40,000 on the website OnlyFans, where he gave it the tagline, “Can’t wait to see me f****** in the garden.”

Bear, currently at HMP Chelmsford, Essex, was jailed for 21 months after being convicted of voyeurism and two counts of disclosing private, sexual photographs and films.
The Category B jail – used as Slade Prison in TV’s Porridge – has been dogged by self-harm problems and even has a Samaritans service.
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.”

On the day he was sentenced, he posed for selfies and sang Lady In Red to a reporter.
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.”
The Ministry of Justice was approached for comment.
