TL74 “I lost the millions I made after Love Island — now I’ve got just £20 in my pocket.”- Jack Fincham

“I lost the millions I made after Love Island — now I’ve got just £20 in my pocket.” Former Love Island winner Jack Fincham has left fans deeply concerned after revealing he is down to his last £20 and says he can no longer afford rehab following a relapse, bringing an end to his previous period of sobriety

Former Love Island winner Jack Fincham has revealed he is down to his last £20 and says he “can’t afford rehab” after relapsing following a period of sobriety.

Speaking candidly amid a turbulent few months, the 34-year-old said the “Love Island millions have gone” and admitted he desperately needs professional help but does not qualify for NHS treatment and cannot pay for private care.

Jack explained that a few weeks before Christmas he began drinking heavily again, adding that what started as a single drink last year “spiralled”. He claimed he has nothing in the bank and produced a £20 note, saying it was all the cash he had left.

In an emotional admission, Jack said he felt “embarrassed” and “mortified” by his behaviour, acknowledging that at his age he believed he should be “settled down” rather than struggling publicly. He also addressed a drunken kiss over the festive period, admitting he could barely remember the incident and felt “like an idiot” afterward.

 

The woman referenced was Leisha Lightbody, whom Jack was spotted kissing at a Christmas light festival in November. It marked his first public romance since his split from Chloe Brockett. Insiders at the event claimed the pair were openly affectionate throughout the night and suggested it was “more than a drunken kiss”.

Jack has since taken to Instagram to describe hitting “absolute rock bottom”. Wearing a colourful Fila shell suit, he told followers he had taken “a lot of bad advice” over the years and surrounded himself with the wrong people, but stressed he owns his mistakes and does not see himself as a victim.

He said this new chapter is about showing what it’s like to rebuild from nothing, admitting he does not have all the answers yet. As part of that reset, Jack has launched a YouTube channel where he plans to document his journey in his own words, promising content that will be “raw”, “uncut” and honest for anyone who feels stuck with no way out.
