Love Island’s Jack Fincham arrested on suspicion of drug-driving and having false plates on car
LOVE Island’s Jack Fincham has been arrested for allegedly drug-driving and having false plates on his car.
The reality star, 31, was said to have been travelling at high speed when stopped by police.
Fincham — who won the ITV show’s 2018 series with Dani Dyer, 27 — was given a blood test and also held on suspicion of careless driving and driving without insurance.
The dad of one was released under investigation until November 26.
Fincham was stopped on the A2 near his home in Swanley, Kent, on August 26.
The arrest came weeks before he is set to star on the All Stars edition of the show.
He is one of the former contestants who will appear on Love Island Games in Fiji from November 1.
Fincham was charged with drug-driving in 2021 but the case was dropped.
Last night a source close to him said he was using private plates rather than false ones and he denied taking drugs.
Fincham’s solicitor Conor Johnstone, of M.A.J Law, said: “Mr Fincham has not been charged with drug driving and denies any drug consumption whatsoever.
“There is no evidence at this stage that Mr Fincham drove whilst over the legal limit and we are hopeful that his blood results will prove the same.”
