Jack Fincham’s response
Jack Fincham, 32, has responded to Danny Dyer’s remarks, questioning why Dyer continues to criticize him, especially considering Dyer’s own past challenges.Speaking to The Sun,Jack stated,”I am just trying to move on with my life,I’m not sure why Danny a few times now has gave me a backhanded dig or insult,especially as I looked up to him and he has had his own struggles a lot worse than mine.”
Jack further elaborated on his past behavior, saying, “he is right I was different on telly as that was the real me, no drugs, no distractions just me living life. I let drugs and distractions and bad decisions change me back to who I didn’t want to be. But thank God I’m no longer the bad version of myself.”
Criticism of Danny Dyer’s Comments
A friend of Jack’s expressed disappointment in Danny Dyer’s comments, notably given Dyer’s involvement in men’s mental health advocacy. The friend highlighted that Danny is currently promoting “Marching Powder,” a film where he plays a jailed addict named Jack, making the timing of his comments questionable.
The friend added, “Danny has not been whiter than white in his past so why he feels he can be so judgmental is wild.”
Jack Fincham’s Past Struggles
Jack Fincham has been candid about his past struggles, admitting last month that addiction and reckless spending led him to feel like a failure. He revealed he had spent over £1 million on drugs, alcohol, and gambling, wich contributed to the end of his relationship with Dani. However, he has since committed to change, quitting drinking at Christmas and celebrating his first sober New Year.
Background of the Relationship
Jack and Dani won Love island in 2018 but split less than a year later. While both have moved on with other partners—Jack is now dating Chloe Brockett, and Dani is engaged to footballer Jarrod Bowen, with whom she shares twin girls Summer and Star—her father, Danny, has continued to make remarks about Jack.
Danny Dyer’s Initial Comments
On Table Manners with Jessie & Lennie Ware, Danny Dyer stated he “didn’t really meet” Jack and claimed he wasn’t the same person outside of the villa. He also suggested that reality TV doesn’t show people’s true personalities due to the controlled habitat.
In a rare comment about his daughter’s ex, Danny told Jessie and Lennie: “I didn’t really meet him. To be honest with you, it turned out he wasn’t what he was on the telly.”
jack Fincham’s Addiction Confession
Last month,Jack opened up about his past struggles with addiction,revealing he had “blown £1million on drugs,booze and gambling” and how he had attempted to end his life. He confessed that his life took a bad turn due to his addictions, which at one point saw him spend £40,000 in one day on online blackjack.
During an appearance on This Morning, Jack “candidly admitted he didn’t have ‘any regard for himself’ and would often put himself in danger by driving recklessly.” He told hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard how he spent the money and revealed how his addictions led him down a dark path.
The reality star, who has been sober since Christmas Day, said: “It was awful. It always started out like you just have a drink then you end up taking other drugs, and then as you’ve taken so many of those I’d take others to go to sleep.”
He continued, “It’s a cycle, you’re alright for a few days. That’s why I always thought it wasn’t a problem as I’d have a few days off in between.But I then discovered another drug,an anti-anxiety drug and I became physically addicted to it and went to rehab.”
Jack also mentioned the support he received, saying, “My family and my relationship with Chloe [Brockett], they are all so supportive but how many more times can they say it’s okay now we’ll get through this? It got to the point where there was nothing to salvage.”
He further explained his gambling habits: “I would be drinking and I wouldn’t be in my right mind so I convinced myself, I’ll go and win £100,000 today on Blackjack today – it was never going to happen.” He added, “This was only ever when I was intoxicated. I was doing £40,000 days, £5,000 hands on Blackjack. Who did I think I was?”
Jack revealed, “I’ve wasted very close to £1million.It’s not even just that. The behavior that I was doing,I was driving recklessly,having no regard for myself.” He admitted, “I didn’t really care about myself.I’d end up crashing cars and then paying to get them fixed. It was all my fault, I hold my hands up to all of this. I am dealing with the consequences and now I want to set it straight.”
Jack added, “Before, things would go wrong or something bad would happen and I couldn’t handle it. I was always off drinking and taking drugs, it was masking – not dealing with the issues and problems that I had head on.”
He concluded, “I thought I didn’t have a problem. From the age of 18 this has been an ongoing issue but unluckily now since being on TV those mistakes are now public. They’re not stuff that you can deal with behind closed doors. It’s stuff that I’ve done that now everyone knows about.It’s not something I could keep back.”
Jack explained that his struggles would have occurred nonetheless of his fame, stating, “No matter how I ended up with money, this would have happened regardless, no matter what the scenario was.” He added, “Having money in abundance quite quickly accelerated it but this would have happened anyway. The amount of opportunities that I’ve messed up due to this but then would not confront it and not actually say I’ve got a problem here.”
He finished by saying, “I would go onto the next thing, let someone down and burn some bridges. But I didn’t want to burn those bridges. All of a sudden, there’s no one left to fall back on. There was nothing more to salvage.”
