Disgraced reality TV star Stephen Bear has been handed a 16-month prisonsentence for breaching a restraining order.
He was sentenced on a charge of harassment by breaching a restraining order that stemmed from his 2023 conviction for secretly filming a sex tape of Georgia Harrison without her consent and sharing it online.
The Crown Prosecution Service confirmed that the Celebrity Big Brother star breached the order by making posts on social media about Harrison.
Passing sentence, Judge Morgan said: “You know what the terms of the order was. You understood the consequences and over a prolonged period you deliberately breached the court order. The sentence I impose must be immediate.”
Earlier, the court heard that Bear received a surge of comments after Georgia appeared on a high-profile podcast and spoke openly about the case, reports the Daily Star.
“In July 2025 after the appearance on a high-profile podcast where proceedings were discussed he received a significant number of notifications and online comments,” said Ms Deri Molyneux, who was speaking on Bear’s behalf.

She revealed that Bear was also going through personal difficulties at the time, which was put forward as a mitigating factor. Bear appeared to break down in tears in the dock as the matter was raised before the court.
Georgia Harrison submitted a victim personal statement, which was read aloud to the court. Ms Harrison’s statement, read by Ms Kutner, described Bear’s conduct as having had a “profound impact” on her.
It read: “It causes me significant distress, anxiety and fear during my pregnancy which would make me worry about the baby.
“He’s attempted to control the narrative around my life again. His online presence makes me petrified as I perceive him to be angry.”
She described Bear as having been “relentless with the abuse”. Bear arrived at Chelmsford Crown Court this afternoon alongside his pregnant wife Miami, telling onlookers “wish me luck, guys”.
The couple revealed back in March that they are expecting their first child together. Despite appearing to shed tears earlier during proceedings, Bear showed no visible emotion as the sentence was handed down and he was led away to the cells.
His wife and mother, however, who were seated in the public gallery, were visibly distressed upon learning he would be returning to prison.
