Love Island star Jack Fincham, who was jailed for six weeks after his dog bit a runner, has been released on bail pending an appeal. The 32-year-old, who won the 2018 series of the ITV2 show with Dani Dyer, lodged an appeal following his sentencing at Southend Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.
A CPS source said: “He was granted conditional bail pending that appeal.”. Fincham, whose address was given in court papers as Swanley in Kent and later by police as Grays in Essex, had pleaded guilty to two counts of being in charge of a dangerously out-of-control dog, with one of the incidents causing injury.
Prosecutor Erin Peck said that Fincham’s dog – a black cane corso dog called Elvis – bit a runner, a man called Robert Sudell, in September 2022 in Swanley in Kent. Essex Police said that a man in his 40s reported an injury to his arm caused by the dog.
Ms Peck said that Mr Sudell had accepted an apology and Fincham was going to be cautioned and engage with a responsible dog ownership course. She said conditions were made, including that his dog must be muzzled, but in June last year, there was a second incident in Grays in Essex when his dog was out of control and he was later charged.
Essex Police said that in the Grays incident, a woman in her 40s reported that a dog grabbed her leg, leaving no injury. Presiding magistrate Anne Wade, sentencing, said that Fincham was subject to a suspended sentence order at the time of the incident in Swanley in Kent.
