“I don’t want you to worry”

Jessica Smith has shared snaps of a handwritten letter sent to her from prison by disgraced boyfriend, Stephen Bear.

The Big Brother star was sentences to 21 months in jail after he was found guilty of voyeurism and disclosing private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress.

He uploaded a video of himself and ex Georgie Harrison having sex to OnlyFans without her permission and refused to remove it.

Bear is now carrying out his jail time in HMP Chelmsford.

Taking to Instagram last night, OnlyFans performer Jessica Smith, shared Bear’s most recent letter to her telling her not to worry about him.

She wrote: “I get so excited checking the post box for letters… he is so  cute makes me melt every time seeing his handwriting.

“Look at the drawing… actually made me laugh out loud.”

“I wont be 100% until I get Stephen home”

In the letter, Bear (33) wrote: “You’re doing amazing at home. I’m so proud of you!

“It helps me having more credit and I can call you all the time. I love you with all my heart and I don’t want you to worry about anything.”

Jessica later spoke on her Instagram stories answering some questions from her followers.

One asked: “How are you doing?”

They added: “Sending love to you amongst all the ugly hate, people are so horrid.”

She opened up and said: “It’s a tough question. I don’t think I’ll ever be okay until I get Stephen back, but I’ve sort of adjusted to being on my own in a way.

“Obviously me and Stephen live together and we did everything with each other so to have him taken from me, I’ve sort of had to learn how to do everything on my own again.

“I’m doing okay, I’m doing better than what I was but yeah it’s a horrible feeling. I constantly feel like there’s a shadow over me.

“It’s quite sad actually. I wont be 100% until I get Stephen home.”

It’s been reported that Bear was on suicide watch while in prison but is doing much better now.

He’s obviously not allowed to drink alcohol while behind bars so that in itself is helping him.

According to The Irish Sun, a source said Bear is feeling like a totally different person.

They said: “He’s going to be sober for life and feels like a new side of him will emerge as a result.
