Stephen Bear confidently pulled up in a white Rolls Royce for the second week of his sex tape trial.
Jury deliberations have begun in the trial of the reality TV star, which began last week after was accused of sharing a video of him having sex with his ex-girlfriend Georgia Harrison on the website OnlyFans.
Arriving at court on Monday, the TV personality exited his vehicle while carrying a cobra-headed walking stick, smoking a cigar.
By his side was model girlfriend Jessica Smith, with Bear wearing a grey suit and animal print coat.
Defendant Bear, 32, who won Celebrity Big Brother in 2016, and 27-year-old Ms Harrison were captured having sex on CCTV cameras in Bear’s garden on August 2, 2020, Chelmsford Crown Court heard.
The prosecution said that the sex at Bear’s home in Loughton, in Essex, was consensual but that Ms Harrison, who has waived her right to anonymity, did not know that they were being recorded.
Ms Harrison, who has appeared on The Only Way Is Essex, Love Island and Olivia Meets Her Match, said that when Bear showed her the footage she told him ‘never to send’ it to anyone.
She allegedly ‘made it plain how upset she would be if he did’, said Jacqueline Carey KC, prosecuting.
The complainant said she saw Bear send the footage to someone on WhatsApp later that day, and that later that year she was made aware that it was circulating online.
Ms Carey said that Bear uploaded the footage ‘either himself or had it uploaded to OnlyFans and profited financially’.
Bear, who has appeared on Ex On The Beach, said that he deleted the video on August 2, 2020, and did not send it to others.
Asked about footage being uploaded to his OnlyFans page, he said: ‘I don’t know of any video being uploaded.’
Bear denies voyeurism and two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress.
The second week of the trial follows claims that Bear has increased the price of his OnlyFans subscription.
According to prosecutor Ms Carey, 273 people paid $9.99 (£8.15) to watch the original video featuring Ms Harrison.
Speaking on the stand, Ms Harrison previously told the court: ‘After this happened I was in the worst state of my life.
‘I can’t explain the shame I felt. I did not want to leave my room. Instead of apologising, he put his subscription price up from £25 to £50.
‘If he did it or not, which I believe he did, that is no way to act. It is brazen and he knows what he has done.’
The trial continues.
