Ruling tops off nightmare year for disgraced star

Bear, 33, has now admitted breaching an enforcement order following a hearing at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court.

Epping Forest District Council had ordered him to tear down the fence in May 2021 as it was "in excess of the Permitted Development height".

He was also told to remove the support posts and gates, as well as any resulting debris from pulling it down.

But Bear ignored the request and was taken to court by the council, reports.

He originally denied being in breach of the enforcement order between August 2021 and January 2022.

A trial had been due to start soon but Bear changed his plea at a hearing this week.

Bear was jailed for 21 months in March after sharing the secret sex tape on OnlyFans.

He was found guilty of voyeurism and two counts of disclosing private, sexual photographs and films.

The shamed CBB star has been told to pay Georgia £207,000 in damages for the leak on a "grand scale" after she took him to the High Court in the summer.

It came after the brave star waved her anonymity to speak out against Bear she accused him of so-called "revenge porn".

She said she nearly died fighting him for two-and-a-half years.

Georgia explained: “When it first happened, the physical effects on me were just horrific.

"I had acne come up all over my face. I ended up getting a cyst infection — the cyst eventually burst — and I was in hospital from  stress.

“They said my kidneys, my pelvis, and multiple organs were infected, and I was going into septic shock.”
