Former Love Island winner Jack Fincham reportedly launched a foul-mouthed rant at police before he was jailed over a dog attack. The reality TV star, 32, was jailed for six weeks after he pleaded guilty to two counts of being in charge of a dangerously out of control dog. His black cane corso dog Elvis bit a runner in Kent in September 2022, and attacked a woman in Essex in June last year. Fincham is currently on bail while he appeals a six-week prison sentence.

Before his sentencing earlier this week, Fincham called the police “scumbags” and “jobsworth c***s” in a vicious online rant after the dangerous dog offences. In the now-deleted Instagram story from December 3, Fincham claimed the authorities wanted to jail him because his dog “scared someone”, adding: “So my best friend is gone in police kennels.”. Fincham then called out the overcrowding in prisons as he said: “This county is done. Work it out for f***s sake.” Then, under a photo of him and his cane corso dog Elvis, he wrote: “F* Essex Police, scumbags and jobsworth c*s. See you soon.”.

In court earlier this week, Fincham admitted two counts of being in charge of a ­dangerously out-of-control dog, with one of the incidents causing injury. It comes after the Southend Magistrates' Court admin office told the BBC that the reality TV star had been freed just hours later because he had appealed his sentence. Following his release, Fincham has been spotted out and about in Essex with his girlfriend Chloe Brockett. Dressed in jeans, white trainers and a long black overcoat, Fincham held his girlfriend's hand as they headed to a nearby Tesco. Fincham and the TOWIE star appeared to be in good spirits, with newly-freed Fincham leaning in to kiss Brockett at one point during their outing.

As well as the jail term, Jack was ordered to pay £3,680 in total, including a £961 fine, and £200 compensation to the runner, Robert Sudell. Presiding magistrate Anne Wade allowed Fincham to pay the total sum in instalments, starting at £400 per month, after his representative Richard Cooper said his client had "no savings". Fincham was led to the cells after being sentenced, but he was later released on the same day after an appeal was submitted. He will now have to report to Grays police station every Friday, and will attend a bail application hearing at Basildon Crown Court.

Fincham shot to fame on Love Island's fourth series in 2018. He won the show with then-girlfriend Dani Dyer, and they shared the £50,000 prize money. The pair went their separate ways six months after leaving the reality TV show. Like this story?
