Stephen Bear seems to bloody love reality TV so much that we kinda think he’d have bounded in there for free.
And it’s now emerged that he was allegedly paid just £12,000 to go on the show (for context – Christopher Biggins was apaz offered £150,000, but we all know how that turned out).
And GRANT BOVEY reportedly GOT £100,000!
He was in there fore about two minutes!
A source told The Sun: "He knew he would be one of the stars of the show and really pushed for a bumper pay cheque but the producers wouldn’t budge.
"He had hoped he would be able to cash-in with big bucks magazine deals with his girlfriend after leaving the house, having split with his manager and signed to the same management team as Lillie to make it happen.
"But now that he has cheated on her with Chloe Khan he will have to work hard to build the relationship back up again."
Errr… did the source not SEE last night’s episode?
We don’t think that’s going to happen.
It’s safe to say that producers are really getting their money’s worth with Bear, as he’s successfully instigated delivery of probably the maddest, most controversial, weirdest, grossest series in CBB history.
We think he deserves a pay rise, TBH.
In last night’s episode we saw a whole different side to the coffee stealing, horrid cocktail making personality we’d been treated to thus far.
Lillie Lexie Gregg made the most dramatic entrance EVER and made him CRY. It was literally awful to watch.
But then later on he started mouthing off about Vicky Pattison, so he was back to his usual contro self again.
Chloe Khan has meanwhile been hanging out with his actual dad, writing his name on her face, and saying she loves him on daytime tele, so it’s not all bad for Bear…
