Stephen Bear was sentenced to 21 months in jail this year for voyeurism and two counts of ‘revenge porn’ featuring his former girlfriend, former Love Island star Georgia Harrison
BBC Radio 5 Live host Stephen Nolan, 49, reportedly ‘sent photos of Stephen Bear’s penis to colleagues’ telling them to book him for his show, it has been alleged.
Nolan, who was paid between £400,000 and £404,999 by the public broadcaster in the year 2022/2023, allegedly told colleagues that more photos of Bear’s genitals would be sent to their phones if they didn’t book him for his TV show Nolan Live. Nolan Live is described by the BBC’s website as a”live, hard-hitting audience interactive series, in which Stephen Nolan tackles topical issues affecting Northern Ireland with lively debate and interesting guests.”
Bear was sentenced to 21 months in jail this year for voyeurism and two counts of ‘revenge porn’ featuring his former girlfriend Georgia Harrison. The disgraced reality star had just won Celebrity Big Brother at the time that Nolan allegedly wanted him on the show. Bear stripped off on the show during his appearance on Nolan Live in 2016, where both he and Nolan posed in their underpants in front of a live audience.
In documents leaked to the Irish Times it’s reported Nolan had said: “I want Bear!”, adding in: “If I don’t get Bear tomorrow night I’m sending more bear photos.” One person who claims to have received a picture of Bear’s genitals from Nolan described the explicit images as “beyond the pale”. Another source claimed to the publication Nolan is “untouchable” within the BBC.
