Reality TV contestant Stephen Bear has been jailed for 16 months after admitting breaching a restraining order that banned him from posting online about his ex-girlfriend Georgia Harrison.
The order was imposed when Bear was sentenced to 21 months in prison in 2023 after he filmed and shared a video of the pair having sex on OnlyFans and WhatsApp without Miss Harrison's knowledge or consent.
The 36-year-old was told not to post or incite comments on social media about that case or Miss Harrison, but did so on multiple occasions in 2025 while she was pregnant.
The Love Island star and campaigner said Bear's online presence left her "feeling petrified" and she feared for her safety for the first time, in a statement read to Chelmsford Crown Court.
