According to sources, disgraced reality star Stephen Bear has been sent to a “isolation wing.”
The 33-year-old Celebrity Big Brother contestant received a 21-month prison term after posting a video of Georgia Harrison from Love Island on his OnlyFans without her consent.
Bear was also handed a restraining order prohibiting him from speaking to Harrison for a period of five years, and he will be subject to notification obligations for a period of ten years following his signing of the sex offenders register.
It has now been claimed that the ‘vulnerable’ TV personality is under the watchful eye of jail staff.
Sources say guards have been given ‘orders’ to ‘keep an eye’ on him, over concerns for his welfare.
‘Bear is being treated with kid gloves,’ an insider told The Mirror.
They added: ‘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.’
The reports come after Bear was reportedly put on suicide watch after ‘crying for days’ over his punishment.
It was said that the former Ex On The Beach star is at his ‘lowest ebb’ and struggling to come to terms with his sentence.
According to another source, Bear is a ‘broken man’ following his imprisonment at HMP Chelmsford.
Bear was reportedly not expecting to receive a custodial sentence, leaving him ‘completely unprepared’ for life behind bars.
The source added that he ‘feels awful for putting his family through this’.
Meanwhile, on the outside, Harrison was recently inundated with praise after sharing her story in a documentary.
Viewers were in awe of her bravery as the influencer recalled the revenge porn ordeal, which she described as ‘hell’.
Georgia recounted how she felt ‘damaged’, ‘ashamed’, ‘used’, and ‘violated’ from her privacy being invaded in such a way, after Bear shared the private moment of them having sex in his garden.
She’s also shared her ‘relief’ at Bear finally being put behind bars, admitting she ‘would’ve lost everything’ if he was found not guilty.
Speaking on This Morning, she said: ‘I he had got not guilty I would have lost everything.’
Explaining she had been silenced for the two years leading up to the court case, she said: ‘I would have been silenced for the rest of my life.
‘I would have been cancelled. Everyone would have believed I had something to do with [releasing the video].’
