Jack Fincham, who won ITV’s Love Island in 2018, has been jailed for six weeks.
The Love Island winner pleaded guilty to two counts of being in charge of a dangerously out of control dog at Southend Magistrates’ Court and was sentenced to six weeks in prison.
The 32 year old’s black cane corso attacked Robert Sudell in 2022 in Swanley, Kent.
Fincham was also charged over a second incident where the same dog, Elvis, was out of control in Grays, Essex, in June 2024.
The Love Island winner pleaded guilty to two counts of being in charge of a dangerously out of control dog at Southend Magistrates’ Court and was sentenced to six weeks in prison.
He 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.
Prosecutor Erin Peck said Mr Sudell had accepted an apology over the incident and Fincham was going to be cautioned and would engage in a responsible dog ownership course. He was told at the time his dog must be muzzled.
He was then charged after the second incident in Essex almost two years later.
