Former Love Island winner Jack Fincham has revealed he is homeless and living in a hotel with his dog, saying 'it can't get worse than this'. The 34-year-old, who won the show with Dani Dyer in 2018, shared his struggles on Instagram after leaving rehab for the second time.
Fincham entered rehab at Rainford Hall in Merseyside after relapsing at Christmas. The treatment was funded by care provider Steps Together, who offered help after seeing an interview where he admitted he had blown his TV money on addictions and had just £20 left.
In a video posted over the weekend, Fincham said: 'I thought I’d be getting more support from people close to me that haven’t shown that support. Listen, I’m a 34-year-old man, you can’t rely on your family all the time.' He added that he tried living in Liverpool but it 'didn't work out' and he now has 'much left' other than his dog Elvis, who is staying with him in the hotel.
Fincham praised his dog for helping him through the tough time, saying: 'Without him, I probably wouldn’t even be here, to be honest.' He remains optimistic about the future, stating: 'I’m starting again from zero. I’m a very optimistic person, and I just think it can’t get any worse than this.' He plans to return to TV work and focus on acting.
In addition to alcohol and drug addictions, Fincham has battled bulimia for 19 years, which he revealed in an interview with The Sun. He said he is 'in agony without daily medication' and may need it for the rest of his life.
