Love Island winner Jack Fincham is reportedly no longer taking part in Ex On The Beach. Reports suggest that the 32-year-old has been axed from the MTV show due to his recent arrest for drug-driving and having false number plates. He is also said to have been held on suspicion of driving without insurance and careless driving.
The dad-of-one was travelling at ‘high speed’ when he was stopped by police near his home in Kent. A source close to Jack insisted that he was using private plates, not false ones, and that the TV personality denied using drugs. Jack was allegedly in Gran Canaria for the MTV show when the news broke about his arrest.
Due to the incident, it is believed that Jack was ‘sent home’ from Gran Canaria and that production held a ‘series of crisis meetings’ to decide that he should not take part in the show. It is likely that producers are not pleased with the situation.
Jack and Dani Dyer won Love Island in 2018. His solicitor Conor Johnstone said on Thursday that his client ‘feels as though he’s been targeted by police’. Conor went on to add that Jack denies any drug consumption and that there is no evidence that he drove whilst over the legal limit. He is hopeful that his blood results will prove the same.
This is not the first time Jack has had a run-in with the law. In 2021, Jack was arrested on suspicion of drug-driving offences and later pleaded not guilty at Sevenoaks Magistrates’ Court in Kent. However, days before the trial in December, the prosecution dropped the case citing insufficient evidence. Kent Police have since released a statement on Thursday, confirming Jack’s arrest and subsequent bail until November 26th.
It is unclear what the outcome of this incident will be, but it appears that Jack’s career has been affected by it. Fans of the show, on the other hand, have reportedly claimed that My Mum, Your Dad is better than Love Island and one fan has even vowed ‘never to watch’ its younger version again.
