Love Island star Jack Fincham granted bail after sentencing in dog attack case, appeals jail term
Reality TV star Jack Fincham has been granted bail as he appeals a six-week jail sentence following his guilty plea in a dog attack case. The
Love Island
winner, 32, appeared at Southend-on-Sea Magistrates' Court, where he admitted to being in charge of a dangerously out-of-control dog.
The incident, which took place in Swanley, Kent, in September 2022, involved Fincham's black Cane Corso injuring runner Robert Sudell. A second incident in Grays, Essex, occurred in June 2024, though no injuries were reported. The court determined that a further suspended sentence was not appropriate, leading to his custodial sentence.
Fincham's on-off girlfriend,
TOWIE
star Chloe Brockett, was present during the hearing and was seen breaking down in tears as the verdict was read. His legal team has since filed an appeal, allowing Fincham to be released on bail pending the outcome.
Following the hearing, Fincham was seen in Essex walking arm-in-arm with Brockett. The couple was spotted entering a Tesco supermarket, with Fincham wearing an all-black outfit paired with a dark brown coat and white trainers. Brockett wore a cream coat over an all-black ensemble, accessorized with a Louis Vuitton handbag.
Fincham, who was already serving a suspended sentence for a previous driving offense, was ordered to pay £3,680 in court fees, which includes £200 in compensation to Sudell and £50 to a second victim. A payment plan has been set for him to pay £400 per month upon release.
Fincham first gained fame after winning
Love Island
in 2018 alongside Dani Dyer, daughter of actor Danny Dyer. His case continues to draw public interest as he awaits the court's decision on his appeal.

Netizens react as ‘Love Island USA' season 7 contestant Yulissa Escobar exits show amid racist clips backlash
Yulissa Escobar has unexpectedly left Love Island USA Season 7 shortly after the series' second episode. The reason behind her departure has not been officially revealed, but the timing follows the resurfacing of clips in which she reportedly uses racial slurs. In episode two, series narrator Ian Stirling made a brief announcement about 18 minutes in, saying, 'Yulissa has left the villa.' Escobar had been coupled up with Ace Greene, but Stirling also mentioned that Greene was now single. While Peacock has yet to comment on the situation, the controversy surrounding Escobar began shortly after the season seven cast was announced. Clips from a podcast, which were obtained by TMZ, show Escobar allegedly using the N-word multiple times. The backlash was swift on social media, with many calling for accountability. Escobar has not yet responded to the allegations as she remains in the villa, where contestants are not allowed to have personal phones. Fans have expressed mixed reactions on social media, with some celebrating her exit, while others criticise the producers for allowing such behaviour to continue on the show. One user on X questioned, 'How did TikTok do more of a background check on that Yulissa girl than the Love Island producers?'

On Tuesday, 3 June, the couple posted a touching video from Habboo's first pregnancy scan, showing a beaming Habboo gazing at the ultrasound screen, while Laing, overwhelmed with emotion, exclaims, 'Oh my god!' His voice cracks as he breaks into tears, clearly moved by the moment. The couple, who first met on the hit reality show Made in Chelsea in 2019, have been open about their plans for the future. After marrying in 2023 in a beautiful Spanish ceremony, they've continued to share their journey with fans through their podcast, NewlyWeds. Their followers have closely followed their relationship and their candid discussions on everything from married life to future plans for children. Their baby announcement has been met with an outpouring of support from celebrity friends, including Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague, who wrote, 'Congratulations guys!!!!' Former Made in Chelsea star Lucy Watson also shared her excitement, commenting, 'Exciting times to come, congratulations.' Strictly Come Dancing's Dianne Buswell added, 'Omg congratulations guys so so exciting!' Both Laing and Habboo have found their professional footing in recent years. Laing, known for co-founding the successful confectionery company Candy Kittens, has recently taken on a new role as a co-host on BBC Radio 1's Going Home show. Habboo, who has been supporting her husband behind the scenes, will temporarily co-host the show alongside him while Vick Hope, their regular co-presenter, is on maternity leave. Laing, whose great-grandfather founded the McVitie's biscuit empire, has always expressed a desire for a large family. In a 2024 interview with The Times, he spoke about his initial fears around having children but shared how hearing the words 'The best thing I ever had is being called Dad' helped change his perspective. Now, he's ready and excited to start a family. "I would like to have loads,' he said. Laing's dedication to charitable causes has also been in the spotlight recently. This year, he completed an extraordinary challenge, raising over £2 million for Comic Relief by running five consecutive ultra-marathons in five days totalling 150 miles (241km). The marathon culminated in a heartwarming moment when he crossed the finish line and ran straight into Habboo's arms, visibly overcome with emotion. Fans are eager to follow this next chapter in the couple's life, and with their public persona and genuine chemistry, their story is set to inspire many.

JoJo Siwa reunites with Chris Hughes in Mexico before 22nd birthday and Tecate Emblema Festival performance
JoJo Siwa has reunited with her close friend Chris Hughes in Mexico ahead of her 22nd birthday, following weeks of fan speculation about the nature of their relationship. The two initially formed a strong bond during their time on Celebrity Big Brother last month, with Siwa referring to the former Love Island contestant, 32, as her 'platonic soulmate.' Since leaving the reality show, the pair have continued to maintain a close connection, often sharing their interactions online. On Sunday, Hughes confirmed their reunion by posting a cozy photo of the pair in Mexico City on Snapchat, writing 'Finally reunited.' Hughes flew 12 hours to join Siwa, who is performing at the Tecate Emblema Festival before celebrating her birthday on Monday. Following their stint in the Big Brother house, Siwa and Hughes stayed in contact through frequent FaceTime calls and social media posts. Last week, Siwa shared a series of images on Instagram that highlighted their friendship, including a photo of them hugging and another during a video call. She also posted a video of herself rehearsing their Dirty Dancing-inspired routine, playfully noting that Hughes hadn't shown up for practice yet. While fans continue to speculate about a possible romance, Siwa emphasized during a recent Stanford speaking engagement that their bond is unique and meaningful. She described Hughes as a 'vital part of [her] life' and called him 'a really incredible, sweet man.' Though she stopped short of confirming a relationship, she added, 'He's a keeper, we'll keep him around, we'll see.' As Siwa prepares for her upcoming UK performances later this month, her deep friendship with Hughes continues to capture public attention.
