Jack Fincham, reality star and ex-boyfriend of Dani Dyer, has been sent to jail.
The Love Island star has been sentenced to six weeks in prison for allowing his “dangerously out-of-control” dog, Elvis, to bite a man.
The Love Island winner, who snatched the villa crown alongside Dani in 2018, pleaded guilty at Southend-on-Sea Magistrates’ Court today after his Cane Corso injured Robert Sudell in Swanley, Kent, in September 2022.

The TV star has also been told to pay £3,680 to the courts, including a £200 compensation fee to Robert Sudell and £50 compensation fee to a second victim, reports MailOnline.
Fincham is also expected to pay £400 per month upon release from jail.
Jack Fincham was supported by his parents, brother and on-off Towie star girlfriend Chloe Brockett. Reports claim Chloe broke down in tears following the verdict. Fincham was then led away to a cell.

Jack Fincham’s downward spiral
Jack Fincham’s TV career fizzled out in recent years after his Love Island win in 2018. His rise to fame came at a cost, leaving the star in a downward spiral – including other charges for criminal behaviour.
Jack Fincham recently faced two counts of driving under the influence of drugs. He was left with a 36-month driving ban, 60 hours of community service and a stint in rehab.
The star previously bagged a coveted presenting spot on This Morning but was axed after failing to turn up. Speaking on the Under The Surface podcast, Jack said it was his “biggest mistake”.
He said: “I’m still forever sorry about that. I went out and I didn’t wake up and it’s my own fault.”
Jack has since returned to the job he had before entering the villa. He works at AJ Office Supplies in London selling pens.
