Read our privacy policy The BBC has refused to comment on allegations made about star Northern Ireland presenter Stephen Nolan. According to the paper, Nolan sent two separate messages containing nude images of Stephen Bear, demanding that the reality star be booked as a guest on his BBC One series Nolan Live following his Big Brother win in 2016. “I want Bear!” Nolan is said to have written in one of the messages, adding in the second: “If I don’t get Bear tomorrow night I’m sending more bear photos.” Nolan is the fifth-highest paid talent with the BBC, earning between £400,000 and £404,999.
