We have a confession to make. We think we made a mistake.
During Celebrity Big Brother summer 2016 we sort of championed Stephen Bear and may even have spent 50 pence of our own money voting to save him from eviction.
While very definitely never wanting to share a house with him, we admired the way he worked so darn hard to win, not caring if it made him hated in the house.
Our feelings have changed. And Bear has also had a moment of clarity, realising that he is not popular.
Bear had the 'apple falling on head' moment during a behind-the-scenes video filmed for MTV in which he talked about cheating on Lillie Lexie Gregg, Gary Beadle's ex, with Chrysten Zenoni, Gary's other ex (two of the 1000+ anyway).
Bear said of dry-humping Chrsyten behind Lillie's back: "She doesn't know, she's never going to find out."
Do you think he doesn't realise Ex On The Beach is a filmed TV show? Hang on – course he does. Why else would he make all those plays for airtime?
"After we've PROMISED not to say anything and keep it a massive secret, Chrysten goes 'yeah I've kissed him,'" Bear bleats on.
Because Chrysten is definitely the one to blame here, right?
"Everyone erupted like an angry volcano," said Bear. Unlike those happy volcanoes one hears so much about.
"And on the turn of a sixpence, everyone hates me because I'm a cheater," says Bear.
Are you sure that's why everyone hates you Bear? Are you though? Because Charlotte Dawson wasn't a fan before this. Nor was Chloe Goodman. And Gaz seems to have a bit of simmering animosity going on there too.
Maybe people hate him because he's acting like a total twonk, albeit one who's stealing as much airtime as possible from the other big players.
A scenario he repeated almost exactly on Celebrity Big Brother in the summer.
We were such fools.
Would you like to watch Bear acting like a twonk? Really? You can.
Ex On The Beach continues on Tuesdays at 10pm on MTV.
