Jack Fincham has revealed he is preparing to return to rehab, just days after publicly admitting he had relapsed — marking what he describes as a crucial turning point in his battle to rebuild his life.

The 34-year-old reality star, who shot to fame after winning Love Island in 2018 alongside Dani Dyer, had recently confessed he was unable to afford rehabilitation and had just £20 left to his name.

Now, following his emotional admission, Jack has confirmed he has been offered a lifeline — and says he knows he cannot afford to waste it.

According to The Sun on Sunday, care provider Steps Together has stepped in to offer Jack a place at one of its rehabilitation centres, beginning on Monday.

The former Love Island winner is reportedly set to spend two months at Rainford Hall in Merseyside, receiving around £32,000 worth of treatment, including intensive therapy six days a week and structured physical training sessions with a boxing coach.

Speaking about the opportunity, Jack said:
“I told how I couldn’t afford rehab, and this company came forward. I know I’m lucky. I can’t stuff this up.”

He added:
“I am going to work hard and not let anybody down.”

Jack’s return to rehab comes after he admitted that he relapsed last year following a period of sobriety — a decision that quickly spiralled out of control.

Previously, he revealed he had been desperate to seek help but did not qualify for NHS-funded treatment and could not afford to go private.

“A few weeks before Christmas I started drinking heavily again,” he said at the time.
“I need rehab, but the Love Island millions have gone — I can’t afford it.”

In a stark moment, Jack reportedly pulled out a single £20 note during an interview, explaining that it was all the money he had to his name, with nothing left in his bank account.

Reflecting on the relapse, Jack admitted that what began as one drink quickly escalated.

“Since then, I’ve done drugs, I’ve done laughing gas,” he said.
“I’ve been so drunk that I kissed a woman over Christmas and don’t even remember doing it.”

He added candidly:
“I am embarrassed, mortified… I feel like an idiot. I’m a 33-year-old man — I should be settled down, married.”

The woman Jack referred to was later identified as Leisha Lightbody, whom he was seen kissing at Tulleys Farm’s Christmas light festival in November.

The moment marked the first time Jack had been spotted with someone new since his split from Chloe Brockett, following a turbulent on-off relationship that spanned several years and multiple break-ups.

Footage obtained at the time showed Jack and Leisha appearing close throughout the evening, with onlookers claiming the pair “didn’t seem to care who was watching.”

However, Jack’s focus now appears firmly on recovery.

In a raw Instagram confession earlier this month, he admitted he had reached “absolute rock bottom” and was determined to take responsibility for his past.

“I took a lot of bad advice and had the wrong people around me,” he said.
“I’ve made massive mistakes — and I own every single one. I’m not a victim.”

He continued:
“This new chapter is about showing what it’s like to start from absolute rock bottom. It pains me to say it, but that’s exactly where I am.”

Jack also revealed he has launched a YouTube channel to document his recovery journey in real time.

“It’s going to be messy, uncut, raw — in my own words,” he explained.
“Not what you read in a paper. This is my story.”

He added that he hopes sharing his experience will help others who feel trapped or hopeless.

“If you’ve ever felt there’s no way out, this channel is for you,” he said. “The first video is coming very soon.”

Now, with professional help secured and a renewed sense of purpose, Jack insists this is his chance to finally turn things around — and he knows what’s at stake.
