Celebrity Big Brother's Stephen Bear is, in many ways, like an onion.
He's an acquired taste and makes some people cry. But also, he is a man of many layers.
Some of his layers are absolutely awful, some show his softer side (it's there – we've seen it!) but all of them make for great telly.
However, he was clearly having a bad layer day when he slated his ex-girlfriend Vicky Pattison and her attempt to reinvent herself from Geordie Shore party girl to respectable Loose Women panellist.
"She’d have sex on TV again if she could," Bear said in an interview with The Sun, despite Vicky saying that having sex on TV is her biggest regret.
"She’s trying to go down a new path at the minute and good luck to her but I don’t think that’s her at all.
“I think inside her she missed reality TV and all the excitement of what’s going to happen next," he went on.
Now, call us cynics / Vicky P fans (both would be correct) but if Vicky wanted to go back to reality TV, wouldn't she have taken part in Geordie Shore's Big Birthday Battle -the show that celebrated five glorious years of Geordie Shore on our telly boxes?
In fact, Vicky plus Greg Lakeand Rebecca Walker (never forget) were the only housemates who did NOT come back to the show that made them famous.
Also, while she was crowned queen of the jungle, Vicky's made it very clear she would never go on *CBB *and for a simply vile reason.
We love Bear (in certain, very specific ways) but we're not buying this one, sorry pal.
*CBB continues tonight at 9pm on Channel 5. *
