British reality television personality Stephen Bear has returned to prison after admitting to breaching a restraining order connected to his former partner, Georgia Harrison. The order, imposed following his 2023 conviction, barred him from posting about Harrison or encouraging online discussion related to their legal case.
According to BBC citing court proceedings, Bear repeatedly breached the order in 2025 by sharing posts and videos about Harrison on social media despite being prohibited from doing so. The court heard that several of the posts were made while Harrison was pregnant.
During the hearing at Chelmsford Crown Court, a victim impact statement from Harrison was read out in which she said Bear’s online activity left her “feeling petrified” and fearful for her safety. Judge Christopher Morgan, who also presided over Bear’s 2023 trial, said the posts were intended “to ensure the maximum harm [was] caused to Georgia Harrison,” BBC reported.
Bear was sentenced to 16 months in prison after admitting the offence.

Stephen Bear’s 2023 Conviction
Bear’s television career came under intense scrutiny following a high-profile legal case involving his former partner, Georgia Harrison.
In 2023, he was sentenced to 21 months in prison after being convicted of voyeurism and disclosing private sexual photographs and films. The case centred on a video of Bear and Harrison having sex which he secretly recorded before uploading to OnlyFans without her knowledge or consent.
Following the conviction, Bear was placed on the sex offenders register and was also made subject to a five-year restraining order. The order prohibited him from posting about Harrison or encouraging comments relating to her or the case on social media.
