The 27-year-old reality TV star has appeared on 'Ex on the Beach' and 'Celebrity Big Brother' - but has insisted he would reject the chance to feature on the show - which made his new girlfriend Charlotte Crosby a household name - because he fears he'd quickly become a figure of ridicule.

Asked if he'd ever like to appear on 'Geordie Shore', the London-born star told The Sun newspaper: "I'd say no ...  I'm not Geordie so I could get bullied and picked on."

In contrast to his reluctance to appear on the programme, Bear revealed earlier this week that he'd like to have "10 children" with his new girlfriend.

Bear is convinced the former 'Geordie Shore' beauty is "the one", saying he wants to settle down with her and start a family soon.

He said: "I'm getting excitable. I want 10 children. I'm being serious, obviously I've got a past. Everyone has relationship problems. When you fall for someone you try your best to stay with them. It just takes time. She's the one, I don't want no one else."

The couple have been bombarded with accusations that their relationship is a publicity stunt - but the celebrity duo are adamant their love is authentic.

Charlotte - who was previously in an on/off relationship with Gary 'Gaz' Beadle - said: "We're soul mates. We're going to prove everyone wrong. I've never met anyone who's quite like him.

"I like his craziness. I like how he's wild, he's not boring and he's very handsome. I like your eyes, you've got good eyes. They're beady sometimes I really like him and I trust him ... until he gives me a reason not to."
