JACK Fincham predicted his own downfall before spiralling back onto drugs and ending up with a prison sentence.
The Love Island winner has today been freed from a short stint in jail as he appeals his six-week dog attack sentence.
Jack, 33, was dragged to court after the Cane Corso mauled a runner and attacked a woman.
It follows his suspended sentence for speeding down the hard shoulder in a BMW while on cocaine.
Speaking about his drug addiction recovery at the end of 2023, Jack told The Sun: “I’m not saying I’ll never go back to a c**p place again or do something silly again.
“That’s unfortunately part of my make up.
“I might do that again, but I want people to understand I’m not doing it on purpose to p*** people off.
“This is just part of me that I need to learn to live with.
“I want to do more good than s***.”
Jack admitted he faked being in recovery to keep brand deals and TV opportunities.
The 33-year-old said he’d gone through all the money he’d earnt at the height of his Love Island fame and needed income.
He added: “I would say ‘I’m in such a good place, I’ll never go back there again’.

I was saying that because I was worried about work. I didn’t want to let brands down.”
Jack was today jailed for six weeks after he admitted being in charge of a dangerously out-of-control dog.
It is understood he has now been freed on bail while he appeals the sentence.
