Ex On The Beach’s Jess Impiazzi slams Stephen Bear for aggrevating her anxiety that forced her to quit the show
Jess has revealed that struggling with anxiety meant she couldn’t stand up to ‘strange’ Bear like she usually would
JESS Impiazzi has opened up about how anxiety forced her to leave Ex On The Beach, and admitted that her cast mate Stephen Bear’s behaviour made her “struggle” even more.
Last night Celebrity Big Brother fans called the show "a fix" after Bear's tearful ex-girlfriend Lillie Lexie Gregg entered the house, meaning he had to show his softer side - but we can reveal he showed no sensitivity toward anxious Jess who called him a ";bully" and said he "would pick up" on her anxiety.
The 27-year-old said: “People are just in there to wind people up. You’ve got Bear, look at him on Celebrity Big Brother, I had him there.
“He doesn’t know when to stop and that’s why I struggled because I can’t have someone keep going at me when I'm anxious, he needs to know when to stop, but he doesn’t have an off button.”
“I think he thinks it's funny, he’s a bully really.
“He’s just a wind up, if I had a nervous thing going on, he’d pick up on it.”
The stunning brunette says her anxiety manifests in the form of breathing problems, panic attacks, excessive talking and being unable to stop yawning.
While Jess doesn’t blame Bear for causing her anxiety problems while on the show, she does admit that she’d have been able to deal with him better if she wasn’t battling with her mental health issues.
“If I was in the right frame of mind I could have handled anything and he would have been shut down, he’s just a strange character.
“It wasn’t him that made me leave, he’s just one of the most wind up people I’ve ever come across in my whole entire life.”
This afternoon a "heartbroken" Jess tweeted that her beloved nan had past away.
She posted: "Heartbroken... sleep tight Nan the strongest most amazing woman I've ever met! Privileged to call you my Nan"
