STEPHEN Bear claims he wooed Towie’s Georgia Harrison into having sex by performing card tricks – insisting he’s “better looking” than magician Paul Daniels.
The Ex On The Beach contestant allegedly earned $2,181 by posting the clip caught on his garden’s CCTV footage to OnlyFans.

Bear admitted he “got smashed” during a boozy lunch with Georgia on August 2, 2020, before they had sex in his sunbed shop.
Giving evidence at Chelmsford Crown Court, he said: “We left the sunbed shop and went back to my house. We drunk and had sex.
“I was pouring tequila shots and I knew she liked playing cards. We had sex before we went into the garden.
“I was doing card tricks outside and she said ‘you look fit doing card tricks’. I think it was like a fit Paul Daniels. I’m better looking than him but anyway, she started kissing me. Then we just had sex.”
Bear has seven CCTV cameras which are displayed on a 30 inch monitor in his kitchen. He also has big gates and three dogs for security.
He claims to have told Georgia: “I was like babe, I got you on camera. I thought it was funny. We watched it back on that [the monitor] and I sent her a copy. 20 minutes long altogether wasn’t it? Being filmed was quite funny to watch back.
“Then she told me to delete the footage which I did, no questions asked.
“There was no conversation about revenge porn and no conversation about going to the police.
“I do the talking in the bed. Sending videos to friends, it’s not my style. The video was deleted the moment she told me to delete it.”
Bear, 32, first met Georgia while filming reality show The Challenge – but split when he kissed two other girls on the night of her clothing launch.
He said of Georgia, 27, and his attitudes towards dating women: “She’s a good looking girl. Really fun. Bit like me really.
“We were never in a relationship. Never once was she my girlfriend.
“I was sleeping with Georgia and I had a girlfriend at home. When there’s drinking involved and there’s a pretty girl, it just goes out the window.
“I like the women. I’m a serial dater. I take girls out, we go out and have a good time.”
Former roofer and builder Bear, who described himself as a “jack of all trades”, joined OnlyFans in October 2020 – claiming he turned to “adult entertainment while my TV work is on hold because of this case”.
On December 7 of that year, Georgia reported the footage to OnlyFans, who deactivated his @hollywoodbear account the following day.
She called 101 to report it to the police on December 9.
Chelmsford Crown Court heard the balance of his NatWest bank account on October 1 2020 was minus £12,651.07.
It then went into credit as thousands of pounds worth of payments were made by Phoenix International Ltd, who operate OnlyFans.
The prosecution and defence agreed the video was sent out in a locked private message by his account on November 8.
Of his 1,061 fans, 273 paid $9.99 to watch the locked video meaning the creator would have received $2,181.82 for that clip alone.
Bear, of Loughton, Essex, denies voyeurism and two counts of disclosing private, sexual photographs and films.
The trial continues.
