“SKINT” Stephen Bear is reportedly living with his mum and rides a cheap bike to Aldi to buy pizza – after claiming he’s on benefits.
Bear was released from prison in January, just 11 months into his sentence for sharing a sex tape of his Towie ex Georgia Harrison.

The vile reality TV star made £22,000 from the leaked video – but was slapped with a confiscation order last year.
Last week Bear faced Georgia at a hearing to decide how much of the cash sum he needs to pay back – and whether it will go to her.
Bear told Chelmsford Crown Court that he is currently on Jobseeker’s Allowance and can only pay Georgia £10 a week.
Now the Mail reports that Bear has moved into his parents’ home in Walthamstow, north London.
Bear is said to have spent Friday night dining on a £3.79 frozen stuffed-crust pizza which he picked up from Aldi on an old bike.
He was spotted leaving the discount supermarket with the own-brand pizza – which appeared to be his only purchase.
The Celebrity Big Brother star wore a head-to-toe green tracksuit and made do without a bag.
Bear has reportedly been shooting rap videos touting a budget sportswear label called “Mexican Cartel”.
He reportedly filmed one video, titled “Prison Issue”, at a nearby nature reserve popular with local nurseries and primary schools.

Bear wore a Mexican Cartel to the hearing last week – punching the air and smirking as he left court.
The court was told the self-proclaimed “billionaire” has just “£60,000 in a house and little else”.
Bear’s missing ‘billions’
THE Ex on the Beach star recently claimed he was skint after his prison release as he begged for a date from fans.
Bear, who was jailed for 21 months over the sex tape shame, had indicated he “doesn’t want a single penny” to go to his ex-girlfriend.
He was accused of “dancing in the shadows” as prosecutor Andrew Bousfield said Bear has refused to give any evidence on his profits.
At the time the video was uploaded, he was “pretending to be a billionaire on his Twitter account” selling sexual content.
But Financial Investigator Laura Mackenzie, from Essex Police’s Economic Crime Unit, said: “He wasn’t a billionaire at all, no. His bank account was overdrawn.”
She told the court Bear charged $9.99 (£7.95) to view the video on his OnlyFans account, which had 1,061 subscribers.
He originally made £1,650.98 but this figure increased to £22,305.06 when his subscribers rose by 822 in the month before Georgia was made aware of the clip.
Bear was previously told to pay Georgia £207,000 in damages for the leak on a “grand scale” after she took him to the High Court in a separate civil case.
He was also slapped with an injunction preventing him from using the footage again.
Master Victoria McCloud said at the time Bear had “gaslighted” Georgia by trying to convince her she was responsible for sharing the clip.
The judge also slammed the shamed star for using the leak as a springboard for his own porn career before he was jailed.
She added: “Pornography is generally actually something done consensually. It was consensual sex but it certainly wasn’t consensual filming, and it was deeply violating.”
Georgia, who bravely waived her right to anonymity, said the leak was her “worst nightmare” and left her feeling “violated and used”.
She said her life had “changed forever” and told how she has lost her “sense of self-respect and personal dignity”.
Georgia also revealed she felt “completely and utterly exploited, like he had hung me up naked on a wall for millions of people to see and there was nothing I could do about it”.
She had begged Bear not to share the footage after he showed it to her as it would “upset her greatly”.
She was later airdropped the 20 minute clip and discovered it was being offered for pay-per-view on OnlyFans.
Bear had advertised the clip: “Can’t wait to see me f**k in the garden.”
He was previously found guilty of voyeurism and two counts of disclosing private, sexual photographs and films.
