Love Island star Jack Fincham, from Kent, who was today jailed for six weeks after his dog bit a runner, has been released on bail pending an appeal.

The 32-year-old, who won the 2018 series of the ITV2 show with Dani Dyer, lodged an appeal following his sentencing at Southend Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.

A CPS source said: "He was granted conditional bail pending that appeal."

Fincham, whose address was given in court papers as Swanley in Kent and later by police as Grays in Essex, had pleaded guilty to two counts of being in charge of a dangerously out-of-control dog, with one of the incidents causing injury.

Earlier, presiding magistrate Anne Wade, sentencing, said that Fincham was subject to a suspended sentence order at the time of the incident in Swanley in Kent.

The order, for an unrelated driving matter, was of 12 weeks custody suspended for 18 months.

Ms Wade said this order would be activated in part, adding that "we find no reason not to do so", and jailed Fincham for six weeks.

Fincham gave a thumbs up as he was led to the cells at Southend Magistrates' Court as a woman in the public gallery wept.
