Eating with celebrity ex - Bear and Jemma Lusy

Stephen Bear was confronted by ex girlfriend Jemma Lucy on the celebrity version of BBC3’s Eating With My Ex, with him finally admitting to cheating on her.


A couple of years on from their split, the Ex on the Beach stars sat down for a meal to discuss the end of their romance.


The pair split after Jemma discovered he had slept with someone else, but he refused to reveal the truth until now.


Wanting the confirmation from him that he did cheat and that it was more than one girl, Jemma sat down with Bear for a heart to heart.

Bear initially denied the claims, but it was obvious from his face that he was lying to her still.

Asking her to “define cheating”, Jemma told him: “I know one for sure and I’m sure it was at least five other times.”


Initially claiming he thought his drink had been “spiked” during the night in question, he suddenly left her stunned when he threw his drink over himself.

He then declared: “Yeah, yeah I did. I need to cleanse my soul, I cheated, I did. I couldn’t help it Jem, and I did it.”

As she laughed in shock, he then confessed he thought she was going to swirl her beverage at him so beat her to it.

Bear said he “felt really bad”, with Jemma admitting it felt “reassuring” to hear she had been right about her suspicions all along.

Despite saying it only happened once, he soon changed his tune and said: “It happened a few times.”

Jemma responded: “You admitted something I didn’t think you were gonna admit which is nice to hear,” to which he added: “I think you deserve to hear the truth.”

She then encouraged him to be more honest when betraying someone, before telling him she had forgiven him.
