The former Ex On The Beach star first introduced Wolverine to the world at the beginning of April. Explaining the reason why he chose that particular puppy, Bear filmed himself for an Instagram video.
He said, "Everyone meet my new son, his name is Wolverine. Say hello."
Bear first shot to fame when he appeared on Channel 4 show Shipwrecked back in 2011. The 28-year-old then went on to star in MTV's Ex On The Beach in both 2015 and 2016, before he entered the Celebrity Big Brother house later in 2016.
Despite causing a lot of drama with his fellow housemates, Bear managed to win over the public vote and won the show ahead of Frankie Grande, Marnie Simpson and Sam Fox.
