AN Essex TV personality fled his home after finding a 'death threat' had been put through his front door. 

Stephen Bear found the note while filming an episode for his YouTube series, Life of Bear. 

The former Big Brother winner, who is from Loughton, returned home at the weekend to find the note on his doorstep. 

The note had been put together with letters cut from newspapers and magazines, and read - 'Die you c***'. 

Bear said: "Is this a joke?" before looking outside and deciding to flee his home, adding: "Let's go,go,go. Get in the car, quickly.

"Some f****** nutter. That is a death threat.

"How did they get in because that gate is usually locked as well?

"Let's get out of here."

He drove off from his house before later claiming a similar note had been left on his car days before.

Bear is currently being investigated by Essex Police after he was accused of secretly filming his ex-girlfriend Georgia Harrison while they were having sex.

He was arrested on suspicion of disclosing private sexual images or film without consent with intent to cause distress, voyeurism, harassment and obstructing a police officer.

He has been released on bail until February 10.
