Former Love Island winner Jack Fincham has revealed he has relapsed into heavy drinking and cannot afford rehab, claiming the money he earned from the show has gone. The 33-year-old told The Sun he started drinking heavily again before Christmas and now has just £20 to his name.
Fincham, who attended rehab four years ago, said he did not believe he had a problem at the time. He explained that his spiral began after having a drink before Christmas, leading to drug use, laughing gas, and a drunken kiss with Married At First Sight UK star Leisha Lightbody, which he does not remember.
The TV star visited a doctor in early January but was told he would not qualify for NHS-funded rehab. Instead, he was given leaflets, put down for cognitive behavioural therapy, and prescribed sleeping tablets. He will also be put on medication for ADHD, a diagnosis he says is part of his problem.
Fincham, who used to work as a stationery salesman, starts a new job as a lift engineer next week, which he hopes will enable him to save for rehab. He described the role as potentially life-changing, adding that it may not be showbiz but could change his life.
This is not the first time Fincham has spoken about his struggles. In a recent Instagram reel, he announced he would document his 'new chapter' on YouTube, acknowledging he has made mistakes and is at rock bottom, but expressing hope for the future with the right mindset and people around him.
