He might have been one of the most antagonistic housemates of all time, but it seems Stephen Bear could be heading back into the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ house - only this time with girlfriend and fellow winner Charlotte Crosby in tow.
Producers are reportedly lining the pair up to star on this summer’s series of the Channel 5 reality show as a couple.
The Sun has reported that bosses are “pulling out all the stops” to get them to sign up to their ‘Summer Of Legends’ series, which will feature past housemates living alongside a new crop of celebrities.
A source told the paper: “Bosses were desperate to get both of them on for the January version of the show, but neither were available.
“Now that Charlotte and Bear are dating Channel 5 will pull out all the stops to book both of them for July.”
Charlotte appeared on the summer 2013 series of ‘CBB’, which she went on to win, while Bear triumphed in last summer’s final, despite his behaviour upsetting many viewers during the last series.
It was later revealed he had been given a number of warnings about his conduct that bosses chose not to air.
Back in January, Bear claimed he was “not cool enough” to be invited to appear on the previous ‘All Stars And New Stars’ series.
Charlotte and Bear are not the only couple reportedly being courted by ‘CBB’ producers to re-enter the house, as new parents Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell have been named as potential housemates.
Faryal Makhdoom, who is married to boxer Amir Khan, also revealed she has been approached to appear on the series.
