Former reality TV personality Stephen Bear has mocked police with a brazen video from a Brazilian beach following his return to social media.

The 35 year old, known for his stint on Celebrity Big Brother, served half of his 21-month sentence at HMP Brixton for distributing a sex tape featuring his Love Island ex-partner Georgia Harrison.

Upon release and with his social media restrictions lifted, he didn't waste any time flaunting his newfound freedom alongside his 18 year old girlfriend in a recent video, reports the Mirror.

Bear openly ridiculed law enforcement, declaring: "The police can't catch me now."

Appearing relaxed, with his young girlfriend by his side in a bikini, he gloated: "Life's good. I thought I'd come on here guys and say I love you all, simple as that. I love you all."

Pushing it further, he went on: "Stay true, because this year I'm fully active, I'm off licence. The police, they could still be after me, but I'm in Brazil. They can't catch me now. Catch me if you can."

With a beer in hand, Bear added: "I'm just chilling out, licence is finished, police is finished. I can be completely left alone, ready to enjoy my life now. All my conditions are just lifted. Now I can post on social media, that was the main condition, watch this space."

Bear gleefully shared his current whereabouts with fans, saying: "I'm in Brazil, I don't know if you've heard. This is my 18 year old Latina girlfriend, say hello baby. We just chilling, I got eight music videos I got to shoot while I'm in Brazil. Thinking of looking at some property while I'm over here."

He concluded the video by sending a kiss and adding: "As they say in Brazil, te amo, ciao. That means I love you, goodbye."

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) had previously expressed that the star displayed "a complete lack of remorse" during the legal proceedings involving Georgia Harrison. Throughout the trial, he was seen taking selfies outside the courtroom and even sang 'Lady in Red' to a reporter dressed in red.

Known for his flamboyance, he turned up at court in extravagant attire and a Rolls Royce, accompanied by his father.

Upon receiving his prison sentence, Bear bid farewell to those present in the courtroom with a wave, saying: "Have a good evening. Enjoy the weekend, everyone."
