Love Island star jailed after ‘out of control' dog bit runner
Love Island winner Jack Fincham has been jailed for six weeks after his 'dangerously out of control' dog bit a runner.

However, in June it was found to be out of control again in Grays, Essex.
Despite the runner, Robert Sudell, initially accepting an apology for the September 2022 bite in Swanley, Kent, charges were brought following the second incident.
Having admitted two counts of being in charge of a dangerously out of control dog, with one of the incidents causing injury, he was jailed for six weeks at Southend magistrates' court on Wednesday.
This was because the 2018 winner of the ITV2 show was serving a suspended sentence order at the time of the incident for an unrelated driving matter.
Erin Peck, prosecuting, said that Fincham was going to be cautioned and engage with a responsible dog ownership course after the dog bit Mr Sudell, who accepted an apology in 2022.
Addressing Fincham, Anne Wade, the presiding magistrate, said: 'The dog was in a public place not abiding by the conditions to be muzzled and kept on a lead.'
Fincham was also 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.
Richard Cooper, defending, said Fincham 'has no savings' but that he could pay in instalments of £400 per month.
Ms Wade made an order that the dog must be muzzled in public places, be kept on a lead and not be left alone with anyone under the age of 16.

Kerry Katona shows true colours over Katie Price friendship after cancelled tour
OK! Magazine columnist Kerry Katona appears to have thrown shade at her long-term friend Katie Price after their joint upcoming tour was cancelled as she says she's finally 'back on track' Kerry Katona has shared her thoughts on some of the latest hot topics in showbiz, including Chris Martin's shock split with Dakota Johnson after eight years, Jessie J's breast cancer diagnosis, Jamie Laing becoming a first-time-dad, and Kerry herself feeling 'back on track' after her joint tour with long-term friend Katie Price was recently cancelled. Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson's shock split I was sad to read about Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson's split, I thought they made a really nice couple and seemed very happy. I hope they're both doing OK. I really like Chris and his ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow. I think they're such a great family and it's amazing how they have managed to co-parent their kids and stay friends. I take my hat off to anyone who can do that, I wish I could have. I always wish Brian and I could have stayed friends. Molly went to watch him at a festival last week and I would have loved to have gone with her and been able to enjoy it as mates. His fiance is lovely and they've got a gorgeous little one. It would be great to have a better relationship. Love to Jessie J I'm sending all of my love and prayers to Jessie J after her shock breast cancer diagnosis, it's just awful. I want to give her all of the strength in the world, I can't imagine what she's going through. I know she's got a little one too, so my heart is going out to all the family. My health anxiety has always been bad and, as I get older, hearing about people being diagnosed makes me so nervous. I have a lump on my armpit which is just swollen lymph nodes, but I've got to keep an eye on it anyway, which scares me. I recently found out my biological family history, because I never knew my dad or what health issues were on his side of the family, and my grandmother had breast cancer. Thankfully, I've been checked and i'm OK, but it's scary. A decade of love Love Island is back and I cannot wait to get stuck in - it's my guilty pleasure! We've got Love Island and then my series of Celebs Go Dating, so it's a good summer for TV! I've been so busy that I haven't seen much about the new islanders, but i'm sure they will be great. The show is celebrating ten years on TV and I really hope they do something to honour Caroline Flack - the show was her baby and she loved it. I was disappointed to see that she didn't get a tribute in the Decade Of Love special they did earlier this month, I think that's wrong. Jamie's baby joy I'm so happy for Made In Chelsea couple Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo, who have announced they're having a baby. They're a really great couple and I can't wait to see them as parents. It's such a beautiful thing to become parents for the first time and I'm wishing them all the best. I know they've been hosting Radio 1 together recently, which I think is great, but unfortunately I'm loyal to Heart FM - Amanda Holden cracks me up on the breakfast show! Back on track I'm feeling so much better this week after being run-down the last while. It's great to finally feel like myself again. I went to Oxford Natural Clinic last week to help me feel revitalised, and they topped up my Botox too, so I'm feeling glam again. Aside from filming Celebs Go Dating, which we are almost finished with, I've just been spending time with the family. Lilly has been home this week from Ireland and Molly's also just arrived, so I'm happy to have my babies back. I always love having the kids at home - it's the best feeling in the world.
