Love Island star Jack Fincham has revealed his new job as he appeared in court after failing to attend community service because he was in rehab.
Jack Fincham, 34, appeared at Medway Magistrates’ Court after he failed to do three shifts of unpaid work.
A judge had previously ordered the reality TV star to do the community service as part of the conditions of his suspended sentence.
Fincham had been handed an 18-month suspended sentence in 2024 for driving under the influence of cocaine, speeding and using false number plates.
In March 2025, his suspended sentence was extended by three months for dangerous dog offences after his Cane Corso attacked a runner.
But in February, he missed a scheduled court appearance due to a two-month stay at Rainford Hall rehabilitation centre in Merseyside.
Fincham dodged time behind bars after he admitted to not completing the unpaid work, as he was in rehab.
Instead, he was handed a £375 fine and another £60 in court costs as the reality TV star revealed he had started a new role in ‘office supplies and stationery’ with a salary of £40,000.
Roger Haw, defending, said the star had missed his unpaid work shifts after his addiction had ‘spiralled out of control’.
‘This gentleman was suffering from a very serious addiction,’ he told the court. ‘It spiralled out of control towards the end of last year.
He explained that Jack’s substance issues eventually saw him admitted for ‘intensive supervision’ at Rainford Hall until March 23.
Mr Haw argued it would be ‘wholly wrong’ to sentence Fincham to time behind bars now that he is ‘addressing’ his issues.
‘It would be like shutting the stable door once the horse has bolted. He is now actually addressing the problems he was burying his head in the sand about.
‘He’s in a position to earn himself a proper living, and the fine can reflect that,’ he told the court.
As the magistrates retired to consider their verdict, Fincham was seen with his head in his hands.
Bench Chair Stephen Williams agreed that sending the star to prison would be ‘wholly disproportionate’, opting to impose the costs of £435.
Fincham was stopped on August 26, 2023, after police saw him driving along the hard shoulder in heavy traffic on the A2 in Dartford, Kent.
He provided a negative breath test, but a drugs wipe returned a positive for cocaine.
Fincham ‘could not afford insurance’, Kent Online reported, and instead asked his friend to clone his number plate so it would match his own white BMW – hiding his lack of third-party coverage.
Fincham was ‘heavily on drugs’ at the time and was taking them daily.
He admitted to using a motor vehicle on a road without third-party insurance, driving a motor vehicle with a proportion of a specified controlled drug above the specified limit, driving a mechanically propelled vehicle on a road without due care and attention, and fraudulently using a registration.
Fincham was handed a 12-week suspended sentence, which was reduced from 16 weeks due to his early admission.
In January 2025, he was sentenced to six weeks in jail for dangerous dog offences, but later won an appeal, which saw his suspended sentence extended by three months instead of jail time.
Following his appearance in court today, Fincham took to Instagram to tell his followers that he was ‘starting again’.
‘I’ve come back from court. I don’t want things to get misconstrued. People are running with the Jack’s homeless stories and things like that,’ he said.
‘All I said was that I am starting again, that’s all. And I am going to do all the things I said I was going to, I am going to repeat it.
‘I will land that acting role, and I will be doing TV work again. I am going to be fighting again very soon.
‘That was just the last hurdle to get over, and now I have come back from court, and now that part is finished and done with.
‘But I take full accountability, and I had to deal with all the mistakes I had made in the past. I have now done that, and it is time to move on
‘No more negativity, no more mistakes, and it’s onwards and upwards.’
The Daily Mail has approached Fincham’s representatives for comment.
