  • Love Island winner Jack Fincham has announced he will return to rehabilitation for two months to address addiction issues.
  • Fincham, 34, admitted his previous rehab stay was unsuccessful because he did not fully acknowledge the severity of his problem at the time.
  • He stated on ITV’s Good Morning Britain that his struggles were not caused by fame but that it provided 'more means' to engage in his addictive behaviours.
  • Despite online criticism, Fincham expressed a desire to use his platform to help others, planning a two-month stay “up north”.
  • The announcement follows recent legal challenges for Fincham, including successfully appealing a jail term for dangerous dog offences and a previous extended suspended sentence for driving offences.
