Love Island winner Jack Fincham has been released on bail pending an appeal – hours after being jailed for his cane corso dog attacking a man while he was running.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old had pleaded guilty at Southend Magistrates’ Court to two counts of being in charge of a dangerously out-of-control dog, with one of the incidents causing injury.<\/p>\n

As well as being jailed for six weeks, he was ordered to pay \u00a33,680 in total, including a \u00a32,000 contribution to kennelling costs, a fine of \u00a3961 and \u00a3200 compensation.<\/p>\n

But after being sentenced at the court on Wednesday, it emerged he had successfully lodged an appeal and had been granted conditional bail.<\/p>\n

Fincham’s solicitor told Sky News District Judge Williams heard the bail application in open court.<\/p>\n

After the sentence was announced, Fincham gave a thumbs up as he was led to the cells, as a woman in the public gallery cried.<\/p>\n

The court heard his dog Elvis bit a runner in his home town of Swanley, Kent, in September 2022.<\/p>\n

Fincham was going to be cautioned and take part in a responsible dog ownership course after the man accepted an apology, said prosecutor Erin Peck. Conditions were made including that his dog must be muzzled, she added.<\/p>\n

However, in June last year, there was a second incident in Grays, Essex, when the dog was out of control. Fincham was later charged.<\/p>\n

Presiding magistrate Anne Wade, sentencing, originally said Fincham was subject to a suspended sentence order at the time of the incident in Swanley. This was for 12 weeks custody, suspended for 18 months, for an unrelated driving matter.<\/p>\n

Ms Wade said this order would be activated in part and issued the six-week prison sentence.<\/p>\n

“The dog was in a public place not abiding by the conditions to be muzzled and kept on a lead,” she said.<\/p>\n

Richard Cooper, representing Fincham, said the defendant had “no savings” to pay the \u00a33,680.<\/p>\n

Ms Wade said he could pay in instalments, initially at \u00a3400 per month.<\/p>\n

She 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.<\/p>\n

Fincham rose to fame after winning the fourth series of Love Island<\/strong><\/a> with his then-girlfriend Dani Dyer in 2018. The pair were favourites throughout the series after being “coupled up” from the start.<\/p>\n

They announced their break-up six months after leaving the show’s villa in Majorca.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
