Stephen Bear is earning less than £5 a week after getting a job behind bars during his current jail stint, according to reports.
The disgraced reality TV star was jailed earlier this month after leaking a sex tape with ex-girlfriend and former Love Island bombshell Georgia Harrison.
Insiders have told The Sun that Bear is being paid 60p-an-hour in his job packaging tea and coffee for inmates during his 21-month sentence inside.

“Bear is also doing a job pulling wires out from their plastics and that makes him £1.20 for a two-hour shift,” they added.
The 33-year-old was convicted of voyeurism, disclosing private, sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress, and harassment without violence after making money on OnlyFans from the secretly filmed video with Georgia.
It’s reported he made £40,000 after sharing the private sexual images.

Georgia, who bravely opened up about the ordeal and the court case in her ITV2 documentary, revealed that she was hospitalised after falling ill after the video had been sharing thousands of times.
She added that she had “almost died” after her “organs began to shut down” and had developed cysts and later went into septic shock.
Bear who is currently at HMP Chelmsford, Essex, was convicted of voyeurism and two counts of disclosing private, sexual photographs and films 21 months after the ordeal.

Another insider revealed that Bear was a “broken man” and had been “crying for days” following his prison admission, and had been moved to an isolation wing for vulnerable prisoners as officers have been “ordered to keep an eye” on him.
“Bear is being treated with kid gloves,” the insider told The Mirror. “There’s always a concern about high-profile prisoners. Everyone in here knows what he’s done and how he fancies himself as a celebrity.”
