Bear's photo comes as the killer clown craze has been sweeping the nation over the last month, with schools and hospitals being on high alert for the pranksters. The craze has even left some innocent people in hospital with serious injuries.

As Bear posed for the snap, Instagram users were quick to slate his behaviour, one outraged fan wrote 'This is not funny. My daughter is scared to go to sleep because kids keep telling her killer clowns are coming to get her. Some adults need to grow up...'

Another added, 'Not even funny @stevie_bear this has had a massive effect on people at the moment with them also being hurt I like you but this I don’t take it down know ones laughing’.

A lot of people branded the 26-year-old childish for his actions with one angry user calling Bear 'idiotic'. They wrote, 'What an absolute idiotic individual you are.. grow the f** up and hope no child in your family is ever terrified to go to school alone #insensitivepieceofchildishsht you’re going to the extreme of desperately trying to be famous'.

Despite receiving a lot of negativity, some fans defended Bear's actions, adding that it was just a 'joke'.

Bear shot to fame on MTV reality show Ex On The Beach before controversially beating off competition to be crowned the winner of Celebrity Big Brother in the summer.

The reality star was the talk of the series after he cheated on his girlfriend Lillie Lexie Gregg live on the show with fellow contestant Chloe Khan. He was also given numerous warnings for his outrageous behaviour during his time in the house.

Bear is now currently starring in season five of Ex On The Beach all-stars alongside Gaz Beadle and Jemma Lucy.
