Bear, 33, earns a meager £5 a week packing tea and coffee for fellow lags and is blowing it all on emotional calls to Jessica Smith.
The cash is paid into the shamed ex-reality star’s prison bank account and the money is then used as credit to make calls to the online adult model.
Bear’s jail work is his only source of income and he has to suffer the indignity of officers listening to the calls as he sobs down the blower.
The rules at HMP Chelmsford’s segregation wing, where Bear is being held, mean he is only allowed to make one phone call a day.
Loved ones are handed guides on speaking to cons at the jail when they visit.
The advice says: “Most prisoners have phones in their rooms but they will always have to call you. They buy phone credits to do this. They can phone anyone named on their list of friends and family. This list is checked by security when they first arrive so it may take a few days before they can call.
“Men in the segregation unit do not have phones in their rooms but are allowed one call a day. You can also exchange voicemails using the Prison Voicemail service. Officers may listen to phone calls as a way of preventing crime and helping keep people safe.”
Bear was jailed for 21 months earlier this month after he was found guilty of voyeurism and two counts of disclosing private, sexual photographs and films.
He had filmed himself having consensual sex with his Towie star ex Georgia Harrison and uploaded the clip to OnlyFans. Bear captured the footage on CCTV in his garden and is estimated to have made at least £40,000 on the X-rated site.
Despite this, his new girlfriend Jessica has continued to stand by him.
