Shipwrecked was an island based reality show, this series was 2011 (filmed 2010) In the clip the cast mates have returned and are taking part in quiz. When asked which "castmate most likely to have a media career?", they all said Bear. Flash forward to 2016, he's dated Vicki Pattinson, about to star on #2 Ex on the Beach (MTV are even using his CBB notoriety in the ads despite the show having gaz from Geordie shore) and is the main star on cbb. He's obviously peen priming himself for "stardom" for 6 years.
SIDE NOTE : Bear has blatantly had some 'work done ' gone under the knife. Can't work out exactly what he's changed but his face does look different.
