Bear FINALLY gets a telling-off on Celebs Go Dating
It's fair to say Stephen Bear's Celebs Go Dating track record hasn't been the best, even just a week into the new series.
From dodgy chat-up lines to ditching his date before dinner, he's slowly but surely riling up matchmakers Nadia Essex and Eden Blackman into being kicked off the show - but it hasn't happened just yet.
Instead, tonight saw Bear finally have to answer for his poor dating behaviour and face Nadia's scathing commentary about how he treats women. Or, as Bear called it, "squeaky bum time". Whatever you say, Bear.
Bad at dating. Worse at lying. @stephen_bear #CelebsGoDating pic.twitter.com/Udx8l0uTX9

After getting off to a great start and lying about feeling bad for walking out on his date, Nadia let loose - all underscored by Rob Beckett's absolutely brilliant commentary: "Look at his face, he's bricking it."
"When she called us, she did not feel nice," Nadia shot back at Bear. "She was raging. You did not make her feel nice. In fact, I don't think you made any of your dates feel nice because they've all come back and said similar feedback."
And Bear had to ask "like what?" so Nadia told him: "You're a liar, you're a player and you're full of shit."
Beckett's "this is the worst parents' evening ever" about sums it up.

But Nadia wasn't done there. Nope, both she and Eden Blackman had more to say to Bear as they struggled to consider whether they could move on with Bear as a client.
"You not going through with the date means you're not learning or growing," she continued. "How are you ever going to find the one if you treat girls like shit?
"Think about how you're treating women right now. You think you're making them feel good? I'm sorry, darling, you're not. You're making them feel like shit. You need to change your behaviour and your mindset."
But even after all of that, the matchmakers decided to give him a second chance as Bear revealed he was looking for love on the show, honest.
"First thing's first, I promise you I'm gonna sit the date out," he said about how to move forward. "That's a good start, that's a good start."
Right. Or, in the words of Rob Beckett: "That's the least you can do."
Elsewhere in the Celebs Go Dating agency though, things were looking pretty good.
Joey Essex's date was pretty edgy (ahem) - even if both of their geography skills left a lot to be desired:
Joey Essex asking the waiter if there are any "edgy sorts" about, my love for that darling grows stronger by the minute #CelebsGoDating

Ferne McCann travelled a bit too far out of her comfort zone - all the way up to Manchester, where things got a bit weird:

Perri Kiely got a 9 on his date yesterday, and we're pretty sure it was because of the slush puppy:
Or maybe it's just because Perri's quickly becoming the viewers' firm favourite? That works too:
