Stephen Bear is reportedly spending all of his prison wages on tearful phone calls to his fiancée Jessica Smith.
The 33-year-old reality star was jailed for 21 months on March 3 after he leaked a sex tape of Love Island star Georgia Harrison.
He has also been placed on the Sex Offenders Register for 10 years and was handed a five-year restraining order banning him from contacting Georgia.

During the trial, jurors heard how the Ex On The Beach star filmed the consensual sex on CCTV and then made at least £40,000 on the X-rated site by uploading the clip.
And now, Bear is said to be earning £5 a week in prison by packing tea and coffee.
He is reportedly using his earnings to make emotional phone calls to fiancée Jessica that cost him 16p per minute.
The Sun reported that the former Celebrity Big Brother housemate’s wages are paid into his prison bank account.
He has then reportedly spent his wages on calls home, while being surrounded by prison officers, to his OnlyFans star partner.
Bear is being held at HMP Chelmsford’s segregation wing, and rules mean he is only allowed to make one phone call each day.
When prisoners go to jail their loved ones are often handed guides on speaking to inmates.
The advice reads: “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 are able to 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.”
