Stephen, 32, revealed his girlfriend said "yes" and the pair are now engaged.

Stephen, who filmed consensual sex on CCTV then made at least £40,000 on the X-rated site from uploading the clip in 2020, shared a video of him getting down on one knee.

He was seen trying to get the attention of the other guests, before kicking off his proposal speech and then placing a huge engagement ring on her finger.

The former Big Brother star wrote: "She said yes!

"That was best moment of my life so far.

"Not only did over 5,000 people see that in the Moulin Rouge in Paris. But it broadcasted live on the streets of France next to the Eiffel Tower for 100’s of thousands to see.

"Jess Lily means the world to me and I'm lucky to spend every day with you."

The shameless media personality - who was accused of "revenge porn" by Georgia, 28 - was found guilty at Chelmsford Crown Court, but is yet to be dished out a punishment.

He was found guilty of voyeurism and two counts of disclosing private, sexual photographs and films.

But after the court case came to an end, Bear took to his Twitter profile to reveal he wanted "holiday" ideas for himself and his girlfriend Jessica Smith.

Sharing a photo of his own mugshot, he wrote: "This guy needs a holiday, where should he take his model girlfriend?"

Twitter users were left furious by the tweet, and took to the comments below to slam Bear for being "shameless".

"Maybe you should show some remorse instead of making a mockery about it," one wrote, as another chimed in: "He deserves everything that is coming to him. I hope the justice system sends him down."

"The fact that you both have done nothing but mock & make jokes is the worst part I think. Not a single sign of remorse," a third penned.

Stephen was found guilty of sharing the video of him and Georgia having consensual sex.

The Towie star, who bravely waived her anonymity, said she was "relieved" by the verdict after two years of "absolute hell".

She said in a statement: "The last two years have been absolute hell and this verdict will allow me to start to put the pain I have suffered in the past and start embracing the future.

"Bear’s behaviour was completely unacceptable and those who choose to commit such crimes should and will be prosecuted.

"I have felt ashamed, hurt, violated, even broken at times but today I stand here feeling empowered, grateful and a huge sense of unity with all of those who have reached out to support me throughout this ordeal."

Georgia also said with more people's lives spent online, it is "important" they are protected "in the virtual world just as they are in reality".

She told how she hopes by taking a stand, other victims of revenge porn will come forward to "seek justice and most importantly show them that they have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of".

Brave Georgia previously broke down during the trial as she told jurors how the tape had ruined her life.

She said her and Bear had gone into the garden while drunk to play cards when she had sex with him unaware she was being filmed.

Georgia added: "We had had sex before. His performance was a lot more excited and a lot more dramatic than usual, looking back - more positions, more effort. I had no idea I was on camera.”

When Bear said they "might have been caught" on CCTV, Georgia said she told him she needed to see it.

She claimed she realised it was a "serious situation" when she thought she caught him sending the clip on WhatsApp later that night.
