Overview
- Fincham, who won Love Island in 2018, told followers in Instagram videos over the weekend that he is living in a hotel with his dog after leaving treatment.
- He said he completed an eight-week program at Rainford Hall in Merseyside for alcohol and drug dependence, including a detox from benzodiazepines and pregabalin.
- He described limited support from people close to him and said he is working out where to live while leaning on staff advice and his dog Elvis for stability.
- Coverage reports his second stay was offered and paid for by care provider Steps Together after an interview, following years in which he burned through TV earnings and said he had only £20 left.
- Reports also note a 2022 dog-bite case that led to a fine on appeal and his past struggle with bulimia, which helps explain the broader health issues he says he is addressing.
