Stephen Bear’s girlfriend shares WhatsApp messages he sent her before he was jailed

Stephen Bear's girlfriend has shared her WhatsApp messages from the disgraced TV star before he was jailed.

The Celebrity Big Brother winner, 33, was sentenced to 21 months in prison this month after being found guilty of sharing footage of him having sex with former partner Georgia Harrison – without her permission.

Bear has also been placed on the sex offender's register, however despite his conviction, Jessica, 22, has vowed to stand by her man and has now posted a string of texts he sent her - before he was sent down.

The pair appear to be discussing wedding plans early on in their relationship as the model shared a screenshot of the messages with the caption: "Just found mine and Stephen's conversations from when we first started dating, look at this.

"Knew we was going to get married from the beginning, my soul mate."

The texts from Bear also include a photo of his finger in which he's drawn a large letter J on his "wedding hand".

Jessica recently visited her man in prison, but ran the risk of breaking the law moments after arriving.

Regaling her Instagram followers with her latest exploits, the model filmed herself at HMP Chelmsford where she visited her fiance inside for the first time.

As she posed up a storm in a long-legged romper, she told her TikTok fans: "Come with me on a visit to see my boyfriend."

Once inside Jessica showed off her acrylic nails with the initials S.B and panned the camera to the HMP wristband.

The short clip was later captioned: "So good to see him but sad because I can't see him for another two weeks."

However the OnlyFans model appears to have broken the rules by filming herself inside the prison.

The 1952 Prison Act states: "[It is an offence relating to prison security to] take a photograph, or make a sound-recording, inside a prison or transmits, or causes to be transmitted, any image from inside a prison by electronic communications for simultaneous reception outside the prison."

The Act also states the penalty could be: "Conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to a fine (or both)."

Bear was arrested in January 2021 after a trip to Dubai and later charged in May before being sent down earlier this year.

It is is understood he's recently 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.
