Stephen Bear, 31, pictured with 'new girlfriend', 17, after revenge porn arrest
Stephen Bear was pictured in the car with his “teenage girlfriend” hours after he was arrested for revenge porn.
The Celebrity Big Brother winner, 31, and his reported on-off girlfriend Tia McAlister, 17, were pictured together in a vehicle, with him behind the wheel, following his arrest to London’s Heathrow Airport.
His ex, Georgia Harrison, has thanked fans for their support after he was arrested on Friday when he arrived on a flight from Dubai on suspicion of the disclosure of sexual photographs without consent.
Love Island star Georgia accused Bear of revenge porn in December last year.

Bear strenuously denies the claims and was released on bail the following day.
He appeared to look right at the camera when he was spotted by a photographer.
Wearing a blue puffer coat, he sat next to blonde Tia, who looked down away from the camera.
A source told MailOnline that the teenager is a beauty therapist from Slough who turned 17 earlier this month.
They said she and Bear even have matching star sign tattoos as they’re both Capricorns, and that Bear has an inking of Tia’s face.

The insider said: “They got matching star sign tattoos to signify their love while Bear also got an inking of Tia’s face on his back.
“The couple went on holiday together in October but had spent some time apart after Bear went to Dubai towards the end of 2020.
“Tia met up with Bear the first opportunity she had after he was released from custody on Saturday and is standing by him amid the allegations.”
It’s believed that Bear and Tia met when she was 16.
When they met up on Saturday they visited a Marks & Spencer store despite the fact that Bear should be isolating for 10 days after his trip to Dubai.

The Government website states that anyone returning to England from the UAE on or after 4am on January 12 needs to self-isolate.
Bear was arrested at Heathrow on January 15.
After Bear’s arrest, his ex Georgia told The Sun : “Thank you to everyone that has reached out over the last few days.
“I have a fantastic team around me including friends, family and colleagues who are just some of the many reasons I have be able to stay positive right now.
“Again, thank you so much for everyone’s love and support – you have no idea how much it means to me.”
An Essex Police spokesperson said at the time: “A man has been arrested in connection with an investigation into the disclosure of sexual photographs without consent.

“The 31-year-old man from Loughton was arrested on Friday 15 January on suspicion of disclosing private sexual photographs or films without consent with intent to cause distress, harassment, and obstructing a police officer.”
The day later, a spokesperson from Essex police said: “A 31-year-old man from Loughton, who was arrested on suspicion of disclosing private sexual images or film without consent with intent to cause distress, voyeurism, harassment and obstructing a police officer, has been released on bail until 10 February.”
The Mirror has contacted Bear’s representatives for comment.
