Former Love Island winner Jack Fincham has revealed he is homeless and living in a hotel with his dog after leaving rehab for the second time. The 34-year-old, who won the ITV show with Dani Dyer in 2018, shared his struggles in a candid Instagram video over the weekend.
Fincham said he entered rehab at Rainford Hall in Merseyside after relapsing at Christmas, with the treatment funded by care provider Steps Together. He previously battled addictions to drugs and alcohol, and had a first stint in rehab in 2021. The reality star admitted he had blown his winnings on his addictions, leaving him with just £20.
“I thought I’d be getting more support from people close to me that haven’t shown that support,” Fincham said. “One thing they told me in rehab, and it’s true, you’re not gonna walk out of rehab to a red carpet rolled out for you because it’s stuff you should have been doing anyway.” He explained that trying to live in Liverpool “didn't work out” and that he doesn't have “much left”.
Fincham praised his dog Elvis for helping him through the tough time, saying: “Without him, I probably wouldn’t even be here, to be honest.” He added that he remains optimistic about the future, stating: “I just think it can’t get any worse than this.” He plans to focus on acting and TV work.
In addition to his addictions, Fincham has spoken about his long-term battle with bulimia, a condition he has had for 19 years, saying he is “in agony without daily medication”. He has urged others struggling with similar issues to seek help.
