Celebrity Big Brother star Stephen Bear’s family slam ‘fraud and fake’ Lillie Lexie Gregg and claim he tried to dump her before the show
Stephen's family have hit out following his explosive reunion with his ex
STEPHEN Bear’s family have slammed Lillie Lexie Gregg’s “crocodile tears” in the Celebrity Big Brother house, after confronting her ex-boyfriend during Thursday's explosive episode.
The housemates’ older brother, Danny Bear, claims Stephen tried to end his relationship with the reality star before entering the CBB house earlier this month.
During an exclusive interview with The Sun Online, Danny tells us: “She’s incredibly fame hungry.
“Stephen tried to end their very short relationship after we all saw through her, but once his contract for the show came through she started pulling at his heart strings.
“He might be an entertainer, but he's also an incredibly caring, loving boy with a massive heart and fell for it and I really hope that he's learnt a very valuable lesson from all of this.”
Stephen and Lillie met while filming Ex On The Beach in April and instantly hit it off.
Once filming wrapped in Thailand, the pair continued seeing each other upon their return home and would regularly share loved up selfies.
As viewers then watched Stephen spark up a sexual relationship with fellow housemate Chloe Khan on the show, Lillie entered the house as part of a task to “gain closure."
However, Danny claims Lillie had predicted the controversy all along and planned to use it to boost her public profile.
He adds: “The tears were fake and admittedly it was a very good performance which fortunately didn't fool everyone.
“Remember he met her on another reality show, she knows what she’s doing.
“If she was as devastated as she says then she could have easily have had that conversation away from what is just another TV show.
“It was a vicious, meticulously calculated plan to spitefully damage a young kids hopes and dreams for self-gain and to help flog her clothes.”
During Lillie and Stephen’s emotional reunion, the blonde beauty revealed: “You asked me to be there when you got home, I was supporting you 100%.
“The embarrassment and humiliation I've had…this is all one big game to you, it is a joke at my expense.”
Reflecting on her shock appearance, Stephen later broke down in the diary room.
He admitted: “'I think about her every day. I can't be with her; it's not fair on her. I was adamant I wasn't going to get with no one.
"Everything happens for a reason…she's had a lucky escape from me.
"It took me 26 years to find someone I care about.”
