Stephen Bear spotted with his hands up Charlotte Crosby’s jumper as they share intimate embrace on the set of Just Tattoo Of Us
The ex-Geordie Shore star is rumoured to have 'cooled things' with Ash Harrison
CHARLOTTE Crosby has cooled things off with her secret boyfriend Ash Harrison - and it might be because of her blossoming friendship with her Just Tattoo Of Us co-star Stephen Bear.
The former Geordie Shore star has been filming the new MTV reality series alongside fellow Celebrity Big Brother winner Bear - and sources claim the pair are 'growing close'.
Last week, Bear was seen mucking about with the surgery-loving northerner, and appeared to be dry-humping her with his hands up her jumper.
A clip of their antics was posted to Snapchat by a make-up artist pal, and then grabs posted on a Geordie Shore fan account.
Charlotte never publicly confirmed that she was an item with Ash, who found fame on the 2014 series of Big Brother, with some sources claiming it would have interfered with lucrative gigs including taking part in E4's Celebs Go Dating and the launch of her own dating app.
A show insider told The Sun online: "Ash was meant to visit her in London this weekend but he never made the trip down.
"The honeymoon period has well and truly ended and she decided to cool things off. It was her decision.
"She also seems to have fallen for Bear's charms and it looks like there's something blossoming."
The revelation comes as Ash posted some veiled tweets that hinted his love affair with the reality regular had come to an end.
Last week he revealed that a cash machine had eaten his bank card, which he described as another incident of being "frauded".
He tweeted: "I went to the petrol station last night. Went to the ATM. Got money but no card back. That's me being frauded all week."
He also tweeted that his pal had stolen his phone from him on a night out and done "some serious damage".
Furthermore, he hinted he was eating his pain, tweeting he was ordering two takeaways in the space of two days.
He posted: "I'm gonna order my second take out of the weekend because I can. Then hate myself afterwards."
Meanwhile on Instagram, Bear shared a picture of his horoscope which promised he and other Capricorns had 'potent energy for new romance' - which Charlotte liked.
The former roofer also been posting plenty of pictures of him mucking around with the pouty beauty, who won CBB in 2013.
The pair have also got another reality show in common, Ex On The Beach.
Bear has appeared on the third and fifth series of the MTV dating show that sees spurned lovers emerge from the sea, while Charlotte appeared with ex-boyfriend Gaz Beadle on the show's second outing.
Today Charlotte was seen looking as glam as ever at the Clothes Show in Birmingham.
After defying the chilly weather in a bum-skimming playsuit, she later changed in to something more comfy.
She paired a Christmas jumper with a pair of heeled knee-high boots.
Tonight reps for the pair denied that despite their flirty antics, they are both still single.
Bear's rep said: "Bear and Charlotte have been filming MTV’s Just Tattoo Of Us over the last two weeks and having great fun doing it.
"They’re presenting the show together, so always mucking about but Bear is still single and they’re just really good friends."
Charlotte's rep also denied that the duo are more than pals.
They told The Sun: "Charlotte has never said she was in a relationship with Ash, they dated but were never official.
"Charlotte and Bear are both single, they are enjoying working together and are always fooling around on the set of Just Tattoo Of Us."
