Speaking about his involvement in the next series of Celebs Go Dating, Bear has confirmed that he won’t feature on the reality show.

And just to make sure that we all get that he’s definitely NOT doing the show because of Charlotte he insisted, “I wouldn’t feel right doing it. It’s just a bit sore you know, that’s why I didn’t do it.”
