Stephen Bear in fresh blow as he's booted off TikTok after prison ...
STEPHEN Bear has been banned from TikTok after using the service to talk to fans following his jail release.
Just days after serving his sentence for sex offences, shamed Ex On The Beach star Bear, 34, took to the platform where he tried to get a date.
The Celebrity Big Brother winner told fans he's skint and had been living in a "mouldy" bedroom, begging female fans to message him.
According to Business Insider, TikTokkers can make $300 (£235) per live stream - which would have been Stephen's only lifeline.
But it appears he will be living in squalor for longer than he would have hoped after being barred from the app.
Bear was released early from jail after serving half of his 21-month sentence for uploading CCTV footage of him having sex in a garden with then Love Island star ex-girlfriend Georgia Harrison,

In his most recent TikTok video, Bear constantly flexed his tattooed arms while lying on his single bed in a white vest top.
There was no sign of the ankle bracelet he has to wear as part of his early release conditions.
He said: "I'm skint. Skinnnt. I've got my good looks, personality but I am el skinto at the minute."
The former TV personality then claimed he had a new venture in the pipeline.

Bear continued: "So lucky I'm blessed with such an amazing brain. I'm going to make something happen, get back on top again. Come out the ghetto and be the man.
"Then everyone who stuck by me through the thick of it, they're all getting treated tenfold. This just makes me want it even more now."
Bear gave out mixed messages when it comes to his love life. At first he said he wanted to remain single for a year, but he ended up asking girls to DM him.
"I'm in a single bed," he said. "You can't beat it. One day there's gonna be a hottie in the bed next to me and me and this hottie will spend their lives together.
"I need a leng ting."
He described himself as a "sucker for love", but said that his relationships never work out.
"It is what it is," he said. "You've just got to get over it. Now I'm out of prison my first priority is securing the bag, once I've secured the bag if I meet someone, it'll be all right
"I want to be single. I want to be out every day. This year I'm going on a chopping spree."
Turning his attention to his accommodation, he said: "Who likes the mould on my walls? Proper tings. You ain't getting better than this, this is proper East London mushrooms, the best of the best."
Bear was jailed in March for uploading CCTV footage of him with Georgia, 29, to pay-per-view adult site OnlyFans.
In his first comments after being released, as he filmed a bizarre sequence of him shadow boxing in a park, he refused to apologise to her for the distress he caused — or explain why he did it.
Bear was found guilty at Chelmsford Crown Court of voyeurism and of two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress.

A trial heard that Bear uploaded the footage "either himself or had it uploaded to OnlyFans and profited financially".
Harrison, who has also appeared on The Only Way Is Essex, bravely waived her right to anonymity to highlight the case of so-called 'revenge porn'.
