Love Island Winner Jack Fincham Declares Homelessness After Rehab Stint
In a stark revelation, former Love Island champion Jack Fincham has admitted he is currently homeless and living out of a hotel, stating that life "can't get any worse than this." The season four winner, who triumphed on the ITV dating show alongside Dani Dyer in 2018, opened up about his struggles in a candid Instagram video over the weekend, detailing his journey after leaving rehabilitation for the second time.
From Reality TV Fame to Personal Turmoil
Jack Fincham's post-Love Island life has been marred by significant challenges. After splitting from Dani Dyer just six months after their victory, he has publicly battled addictions to drugs and alcohol. His first rehab stint occurred in 2021, but he relapsed at Christmas 2025, leading to a second treatment funded by care provider Steps Together, who offered help after seeing an interview with him. Fincham has previously confessed to spending his TV earnings on his addictions, leaving him with just £20 to his name at one point.
Life After Rehab: A Struggle for Support
In his recent social media update, the 34-year-old expressed disappointment over the lack of support from close ones, noting that rehab taught him not to expect a "red carpet" upon exit. He attempted to live in Liverpool but said it "didn't work out," leaving him with few possessions beyond his dog, Elvis, who is staying with him in the hotel. Fincham praised his pet for being a crucial emotional support, admitting, "Without him, I probably wouldn't even be here, to be honest."
Battling Multiple Health Issues
Beyond substance abuse, Jack Fincham has struggled with bulimia for 19 years, a condition he discussed with The Sun. He described being "in agony without daily medication" and acknowledged he might need it indefinitely. Despite these hardships, he remains optimistic about the future, focusing on restarting his career in TV and acting, vowing to "do all the things I said I was gonna do."
