Love Island winner Jack Fincham FREED on bail as he appeals jail sentence for dog Elvis’ attack on runner

LOVE Island winner Jack Fincham has been FREED from jail after his out-of-control dog Elvis mauled a runner and attacked a woman.

The reality star, 32, was dragged to court after the hulking Cane Corso attacked Robert Sudell.

Fincham 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.

His on-off girlfriend Chloe Brockett wept earlier as he was taken down to the cells, while Fincham gave a thumbs up.

Elvis first attacked runner Robert in Swanley, Kent, in September 2022.

He then mauled an unnamed woman in Grays, Essex, in June 2024 but no harm was done.

Presiding magistrate Anne Wade, said that Fincham was subject to a suspended sentence order at the time.

This was after Fincham was caught speeding down the hard shoulder in a BMW while on cocaine.

Ms Wade said this order would be activated in part, adding that “we find no reason not to do so” as she jailed the star.

Fincham was also ordered to pay £3,680 – including £200 compensation fee to Robert and a £50 compensation fee to the other victim.

A payment plan of £400-a-month will be set up upon his release from prison, Southend Magistrates’ Court heard.

JPs heard that Fincham failed to comply with three rules over the dog’s ownership following the first attack.

These included to always keep the dog on the lead, for the dog to wear a muzzle when outside and to not leave the animal alone with anyone under the age of 16.

The guidelines were set in September 2022 when Elvis bit runner Robert and Fincham took part in a dog ownership course.

But there was another incident in June 2024 when the animal lashed out at a woman – sinking its teeth into her leg.

The court was told Fincham would get Elvis back upon his jail release if the three stipulations are met.

Fincham has previously come under fire over his pet dog.

Fans have slammed the star over Elvis’ cropped ears, which is illegal in the UK.

He revealed last year that he had got the pooch from Russia and that it was imported by Protection Dogs WorldWide.

Fincham appeared on the 2018 series of Love Island where he and Dani – daughter of actor Danny Dyer – scooped the top prize.

The couple split just 129 days after leaving the villa following a series of rows.

Dani broke the news to their followers in December 2018, saying: “She wrote: “Jack and I have sadly decided to part ways. It’s been an incredible six months and we will always have a place in our hearts for each other, but we’ve sadly come to the realisation that it’s not meant to be long term.

“We both plan to stay friends. I hope you’ll all understand. Love Dani x.”

Fincham has found himself on the wrong side of the law numerous times since 2021 when he was arrested for drink-driving.

He recently told The Sun how his 2023 conviction for speeding while high on cocaine was a wake up call and led him to sign up for Narcotics Anonymous.

The star added: “This has made me realise that I have to take responsibility for my actions.

“I was carrying on with the same lifestyle after the arrest, but now it’s hit home.

“I had no respect for myself and was selfish about others. I didn’t care what happened to me in the frame of my mind I was in.

“I wasn’t thinking about what harm I could do to myself or how I could hurt others.”

The Spanish holiday resort that has the cheapest all-inclusive holidays this summer for families on a budget

THE cheapest resort town for an all-inclusive holiday for families has been revealed and it’s good news for Brits who love Spain.

Salou sits on the Spanish coast of Costa Daurada and is home not just to pretty sandy beaches but three huge theme parks.

For anyone looking for the cheapest all-inclusive hotel in Europe, TravelSupermarket has done the hard work for us.

Out of their top 10 list, TravelSupermarket has declared Hotel Best San Diego as the cheapest all-inclusive.

Hotel San Diego offers prices from £672 per person for a seven-night stay with flights departing from Manchester in July 2025.

For the all-inclusive option, the hotel offers buffet style breakfast, lunch and dinner. Drinks are served throughout the day as are snacks.

It’s a hotel worth the trip if you love the beach, as it’s within walking distance of not one, not two, but three beaches: Levante Beach, Capellans Beach, and Larga Beach.

As for activities, there’s a games room, gym and entertainment programs with sports activities, aqua-gym, water polo and ping-pong.

The second cheapest all-inclusive is Festival Village in Salou, with all-inclusive prices beginning at £604pp for 7 nights in August.

As well as all-inclusive food and drink, there’s outdoor pool to enjoy, a kids’ pool and a playground.

Travel expert Steph Marinkovic at TravelSupermarket loves Salou as a budget-friendly travel destination.

She says it’s a great place to “enjoy volleyball on Llevant Beach” or “cool off at PortAventura World”.

PortAventura World is a huge theme park with 40 rides as well as a water park next door, Caribe Aquatic Park, that has flumes, waterfalls and relaxing pools.

Across from the park is Ferrari Land, which has car-themed rides and simulators; it’s a great spot for fans of F1.

Ferrari Land is also home to Europe’s tallest and fastest roller coaster, Red Force. Be warned, it’s a scary one as it reaches speeds of 112 mph and its maximum height is 367 ft.

Don’t feel like you have to stay in Salou, though. You’ll find Barcelona is just 90 minutes away for a perfect day trip to see the stunning Sagrada Familia and Güell Park.

The next location that offers the cheapest all-inclusive is Calas de Majorca.

The resort town on the island of Majorca is a great place for a holiday if you love beautiful beaches like Cala Domingos. It’s also a great destination for exploration.

Up the road is Cala Millor, which is perfect for watersports including sailing, snorkelling, scuba diving, windsurfing, kayaking and surfing.

For driving fans, there are buggy tours all over the island, and the heritage Drach Caves, where you’ll discover four natural underground lakes, are 20 minutes away.

Caló des Moro ('small bay'), also Cala de Sa Comuna, is a bay in the southeast of the Spanish Balearic island of Mallorca. It is located on the coast of the municipality of SantanyÃ, southwest of the village of Cala Llombards, towards Cap de Ses Salines, the South Cape Mallorcas.
Mallorca is a great place the anyone who loves swimming, paddle boarding and exploring caves

The third resort town, Alanya, is great for anyone wanting to venture further than Spain.

Steph Marinkovic said the Turkish resort offers “incredible value” and what Brits always want to hear—it has “12 hours of daily sunshine in August”.

The Kleopatra Beach stretches for over a mile meaning it’s likely to never be too crowded to find a sun-lounging space.

For fans of sightseeing, there’s a chance to see the medieval castle, or take boat trips from the marina.

We had a great time at PortAventura World and took on the challenge of going on all the rollercoasters in one day.

Here’s more on Red Force, the fastest rollercoaster in Ferrari Land.

4 key questions in ‘cruel’ murder of undertaker, 36, found lying in blood after party as gardai in new ‘priority’ appeal

GARDAI have issued a renewed appeal for information on the 20th anniversary of the murder of Shaun Duffy in Co Donegal.

The 36-year-old bachelor, who worked as an undertaker and a mechanic, was found lying in a pool of his own blood on Saturday, January 29 2005, after attending his brother’s birthday party.

Shaun was well known both locally and throughout the country, including in Dublin, due to his interests in horses and motor sports.

He was a local man and lived in a bungalow at Meenacross, just outside Dungloe, and had worked as a bouncer at many events in west Donegal.

Shaun, who weighed 19 stone and was well over six feet tall, was found face down on a sofa in his home with an 18 inch arrow protruding from his arm two decades ago today.

Speaking at the 2010 inquest into Shaun’s death, Coroner John Cannon said: “This was the perpetuation of a cruel, calculated, cold, callous death of a human being.”

Gardai have conducted over 1,550 enquiries and recorded statements from over 600 persons in connection with the investigation.

However, no one has ever been arrested in connection with the incident and the case remains active and unsolved.

Superintendent David Kelly today confirmed that the solving of this murder “continues to be a priority” for An Garda Siochana.

And four key questions remain in the probe as cops continue to search for the person or persons responsible for the killing.

WHAT HAPPENED IN HOURS BEFORE MURDER?

ON THE day before his murder, Friday January 28, Shaun travelled to Letterkenny where he accompanied his brother to collect furniture.

He then made a few visits locally before returning home. 

Later on that night, Shaun went to the Strand View Bar – which is about four miles outside of Dungloe – to attend his younger brother Kevin’s birthday party with friends and family.

Shaun was described as being in “good form” during the night.

The mechanic went back to his mother’s house in Meenacross alongside other members of the party at the end of the night.

Gardai said “nothing out of the ordinary occurred” and Shaun, who was the second eldest of eight siblings, left his mother’s house at 2:20am and drove his green Mercedes estate car around 500 yards back to his own home.

HOW WAS SHAUN KILLED & WHERE IS MURDER WEAPON?

IT’S understood that nobody heard from Shaun for the rest of the night.

His mother tried to ring him the next morning but could not get through.

She asked his younger brother Kevin to call into Shaun to see if there was any issue.

Shaun’s body was discovered by his brother at 2.25pm on Saturday 29 January 2005.

Shaun had been lying in a pool of blood and splatter was on the walls of the house following what appeared to be a frenzied attack.

The popular young man had been stabbed four times and sustained severe head injuries, also receiving a wound to his right arm, consistent with a crossbow injury. 

Gardai said there were no signs of a break in but there were signs of a struggle.

Twenty years later, the weapons used in the killing have not been identified or recovered, but Chief Supt Noel White confirmed at the time that a crossbow had been used in the attack.

Officers combed the rough undergrowth in the surrounding area in the days following the killing in a detailed search for the murder weapon or other evidence, but turned up nothing.

WAS SOMEONE LYING IN WAIT FOR SHAUN?

One theory that was probed by gardai is that an attacker or attackers had been lying in wait for Shaun in the house.

Gardai suspect that this could have led to a violent struggle breaking out, which led to Shaun’s death.

Supt White said in 2005 that gardai were interested in talking to any taxi drivers who worked in the Dungloe area that night.

They appealed for any information on anyone who may have carried a passenger or passengers to or from the location of the crime.

Shaun’s sister Karena Tooms told Donegal Daily that she believes that somebody local knows who killed her brother.

She said: “I believe it was somebody from outside who was brought in to murder Shaun.

“But I know they had to have local help and knowledge. They knew his movements and where he lived. Somebody helped them kill Shaun.”

WHY ARE GARDAI LOOKING FOR INFORMATION NOW?

Gardai issued a renewed appeal for information on the killing on the 20th anniversary of Shaun’s passing.

Superintendent David Kelly said the solving of the murder is a “priority” for Gardai and explained that they believe a number of people with information on the killing have not yet come forward.

Kelly said: “The investigation team at Milford Garda Station would like to thank those who have offered valuable information or assistance to the investigation to date.

“With the passage of time, some person may now be in a position to provide information to investigating Gardai that they could not provide at the time, or maybe some person who did provide information at the time may be now in a position to provide further information.

“Gardai encourage anyone whom they may or may not have spoken to previously, to come forward.

“Investigating Gardaí in Milford continue to appeal for information in this case and believe that a number of people have yet to come forward who may now be in a position to assist in bringing those responsible to justice.”

Gardai said any information received will be treated with “absolute confidentiality”.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Milford Garda Station on 074 915 3060 or the Garda Confidential line on 1800 666 111.
