Former Love Island winner Jack Fincham has been jailed after his dog bit a runner.

The 32-year-old's black cane corso attacked Robert Sudell in September 2022 in Swanley in Kent.

He was charged over a second incident where his dog was out of control in Grays in Essex in June.

Fincham, of Swanley, pleaded guilty to two counts of being in charge of a dangerously out of control dog and was sentenced to six weeks in prison at Southend Magistrates' Court.

Fincham worked as a pen salesman, but won the popular ITV dating show in 2018.

The defendant was ordered to pay £3,680 in total, including a £2,000 contribution to kennelling costs, a fine of £961 and £200 compensation to Mr Sudell.

Prosecutor Erin Peck said the victim had accepted an apology from Fincham.
