They’re launching the second season of MTV’s Just Tattoo Of Us.
And having romanced each other while shooting the first season last year, Charlotte Crosby and Stephen Bear have insisted all’s going well.
Speaking to MailOnline however, the pair have slammed those who insinuate they’ll be getting married any time soon – insisting that it would be ‘stupid’ to rush into such a commitment.
‘Are people thick?’ Charlotte Crosby and Stephen Bear BLAST fans who pressure them about marriage… and insist it would be ‘stupid’ to rush their relationship
‘I’m always at her house in the pool or the cinema room. But not we don’t live together. There are no joint bank accounts – that would be silly!’ Bear insisted. ‘And if we split up, she’d have most of the mortgage!’
Over the weekend, fans spun themselves into a frenzy when Charlotte uploaded a photo of her lying on her bed displaying a sparkling ring.
Despite the jewel clearly being on her middle finger, rather than her engagement finger, fans began to flood her with insinuations that she and Bear were engaged.
‘That ring has been on the same finger all this time,’ Charlotte said, despairingly. ‘It’s just one thing after another. Are people thick? Can you imagine us getting married this soon, less than a year together. It would be stupid.’
Just the two of them: The pair now have both a working and a personal relationship with one another, which has taken its toll at times, but now seems normal to them
Slightly more blasé about it, Bear joked ‘I better take back that engagement ring then’ before adding: ‘I just laugh it off and don’t take it seriously. It will be someone new tomorrow, something else, you can’t have it one way.
‘Maybe the person [who first accused Charlotte of wearing an engagement ring] couldn’t see properly. I feel sorry for them.’
The pair now have both a working and a personal relationship with one another, which has taken its toll at times, but now seems normal to them.
‘When we filmed for the first time, I wasn’t confident, but we just got each other and now it flows and it’s just magical,’ Bear said. ‘We work together really well, we’re funny, I’m very lucky.’
Chiming in, Charlotte added: ‘It has been hard don’t get us wrong!’
It’s all good: The pair have plans for the future, including more TV work together and living the high life
‘It started off a bit hard,’ Bear agreed. ‘But we are so used to it, it’s just normal, I can’t imagine it without her now.’
The pair have plans for the future, including more TV work together and living the high life.
‘We want a condo in the Caribbean with a chef and a gym in it and I want a helicopter with a helipad that has an S on it,’ Bear divulged. ‘This is my six year plan. Watch this space.’
He went on to reveal yet another ambition for the future: ‘I want to be a big movie star, do big blockbuster films. Reality TV and presenting is fine but its not the dream.
‘I would love to marry him!’ Charlotte Crosby made it clear that she and Stephen Bear are stronger than ever on This Morning on Monday
Ups and downs: They’ve supposedly had their relationship dramas this year, since getting together on Just Tattoo Of Us. But according to Charlotte she and Bear are stronger than ever – and that she sees herself marrying him one day
‘I want people to go to the cinema and for the screen to say “starring Stephen Bear”. Either that or game shows. I love a sparkling jacket!’
While Bear looks forward, Charlotte agrees that it’s never a good idea to look back.
Referencing TV shows they have both done in the past [Ex On The Beach and Celebrity Big Brother], Charlotte retained that she doesn’t watch the newer season of these shows.
‘I’m not really interested. Back when I was on them years ago, they were trendy then. Now they’re not.’ she said. ‘I am obsessed with Love Island though.’
Marriage material: ‘Definitely, in the future, I would love to marry him,’ she admitted to Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on Monday’s This Morning. ‘I can’t imagine having a normal boyfriend, it would be boring’
Makeover: Charlotte was showing off her newly dyed brunette curls on This Morning
Setting things straight: Charlotte, 27, weighed in on the engagement rumours that have flanked their relationship when they are not being accused, instead, of splitting up
On the topic of the ITV2 show, Charlotte also added that she is desperate to see the now-notorious duo Chris and Kem, from the most recent season, on Just Tattoo Of Us.
And Bear was in agreement: ‘They’d be great on the show, we could do a crossover with their new show and ours.’
He added: ‘I’d like the Queen to be on it. And then to say thanks she’d give me all her diamonds and tiaras.’
The reality couple teased that the new season of their show promises to be ‘ten times bigger, better and crazier’ than the first season; and that viewers can expect the likes of Charlotte Dawson, Olivia Buckland, Alex Bowen, Jamie O Hara ‘and some non-famous people no-one cares about’ to crop up on the show.
Something to tell us? She delighted her Instagram followers with a snap of her newly dyed brunette curls on Sunday – but Charlotte Crosby left some fans questioning if she had revealed much bigger news in the post when they pointed out the huge ring on her hand
Working it: The Geordie Shore star, 27, showed off her dark locks this weekend which she had opted for in favour of her previous blonde ombre – but commenters were more interested in the ring on her left hand which they mistook for an engagement ring from Stephen Bear
‘This brother and sister came on and she had this big dark secret that only he knew, and he got it tattooed somewhere on her body. She attacked him when she found out,’ Bear revealed, promising dramatics.
He also claimed that Just Tattoo Of Us is ‘the ninth wonder of the world’.
On Monday morning, Charlotte had appeared on This Morning, talking about Bear and the show. And she gushed about taking part on the stalwart daytime show.
Heartache: But the beauty was forced to share a Snapchat a few days later revealing the pair were back together
‘It is my favourite favourite daytime TV show, I’ve been going on it now for four years, they are all so lovely, and never rude,’ she enthused. ‘They never talk to you badly, the other shows could take a leaf out of their book.’
‘Other shows’ could well have been a reference to Loose Women, which Charlotte had a dicey experience on once, leading to her vowing never to appear on it again.
‘I might have forgiven, but I haven’t forgotten,’ she said of the female panel show.
Shock split: They have weathered a rocky patch in their fiery romance after Charlotte uploaded a drunken Snapchat video revealing they had broken up
Heartbreaking: Fans were left gobsmacked when Celebrity Big Brother winner Charlotte shared a Snapchat video while partying which revealed the couple had split in August
As for Bear, he’s revealed what’s been keeping him busy in his downtime: ‘I’m currently reading the Kama Sutra. I’ve just started it and want to try it out. Especially the sleeping cat.’
On the aforementioned This Morning appearance, Charlotte said of the prospect of marrying Bear: ‘Definitely, in the future, I would love to marry him.’
She admitted to Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield that she ‘can’t imagine having a normal boyfriend, it would be boring’.
Charlotte and Bear got together while she was seeing someone else – something that prompted Bear to tattoo a cheetah onto her as a joking nod to her supposed infidelity.
In great spirits: Charlotte seemed perky as she appeared on the morning TV show
‘It was series one, I had a boyfriend. I was only with [the boyfriend] for two months and I kissed Stephen on set,’ she recalled. ‘It was good job I like cheetahs. I think I got off lightly.’
Speaking about arguing with Bear, Charlotte divulged: ‘I’m trying to not do it. He’s never been in a long-term relationship.’
Charlotte was showing off her newly-dyed brunette curls on This Morning which she had previously uploaded a photo of to her Instagram – which was the catalyst for engagement rumours.
Her followers pointed out the huge ring on her left hand, which was in fact a ‘friendship ring’ gifted to the reality star by her boyfriend Bear during a trip to the Dominican Republic.
Going forward: The couple have discovered explosive social media posts only added fuel to the fire of their arguments
