Jack Fincham AXED from new reality show and sent home from filming after ‘drug drive arrest’
JACK Fincham has been AXED from Celebrity Ex On The Beach and sent home from filming after his recent ‘drug drive arrest’.
The Love Island winner was in Gran Canaria ready to shoot the MTV series when bosses decided they couldn’t go ahead with him in the line-up.
A show insider told The Sun: “Jack had turned up to filming all ready to take part in the show – but then the news broke about his arrest.
“The production team quickly convened a series of crisis meetings behind the scenes and in the end it was decided the best thing to do was to send him home.
“Producers are likely to be fuming about how it’s all turned out.”
A rep for MTV declined to comment when approached by The Sun.
This will come as a blow for Jack, as we previously reported he turned down the Love Island Games spin-off for the MTV series.
A source told us yesterday: “He decided Ex On The Beach was a better fit for him – he’d prefer to do that show so he flew out [on Wednesday].”
It emerged earlier this week that Jack was arrested for allegedly drug-driving and having false plates on his car. He was also held on suspicion of careless driving and driving without insurance.
Jack was said to have been travelling at high speed when stopped by police.
Fincham — who won the ITV show’s 2018 series with Dani Dyer, 27 — was given a blood test and also held on suspicion of careless driving and driving without insurance.
The dad of one was released under investigation until November 26.
Fincham was stopped on the A2 near his home in Swanley, Kent, on August 26.
