Love Island star Jack Fincham is out on bail after being jailed for six weeks in relation to a dog attack.
The 32-year-old, who appeared on the summer 2018 series of the dating show, admitted being in charge of "a dangerously out-of-control dog" at Southend-on-Sea Magistrates' Court.
Fincham's dog, a Cane Corso named Elvis, was accused of attacking runner Robert Sudell in Kent in September 2022, before doing so again to an unnamed woman in June 2024, sinking its teeth into her leg.
The reality star had been under certain conditions about handling Elvis in public following the first incident but the court was shown Facebook pictures of him posing with the dog in a pub.
Fincham was sentenced to six weeks behind bars but the court accepted his lawyers' request for him to be released on bail pending the outcome of an appeal.
Sergeant Alex Watkins of Essex Police said: "Owners have to take responsibility for their dogs, and on these occasions this dog was dangerously out of control.
"On both occasions the owner was given a chance to rectify their behaviour with words of advice and a conditional caution - however failed to do so, resulting in this sentencing. I thank both victims for their courage during this investigation."
Fincham was also ordered to pay court costs of £3,680.
