Former Love Island winner Jack Fincham has reportedly pulled out of taking part in a spin-off version of the dating show.
Fincham won the show in 2018 and a share of a cool £50,000 when he came out of the villa with then-girlfriend Dani Dyer.
But since then, Jack, 32, has been involved in a number of scandals, including a dependence on cocaine.

Now, Jack has ditched appearing on the newest edition of the ITV2 dating show and instead will be appearing on a celebrity version of Ex On The Beach, according to reports.
It comes as Fincham was arrested for allegedly drug-driving, as well as having false plates on his car, which he has denied.

In addition to these, the star was also held on Wednesday (September 13) on suspicion of careless driving, as well as driving without insurance.
Speaking to The Sun, a source close to Jack confirmed the move, saying: “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].”
Cheeky chap Jack was first pulled up on allegedly drug-driving back in 2021, but the charges were eventually dropped.
On Wednesday night, a source claimed that he had legitimate license plates, saying that Jack had been using private plates.

The source also denied that Jack was on drugs when he was stopped by police.
Fincham’s solicitor, Conor Johnstone, of MAJ Law also said in a statement: “Mr Fincham has not been charged with drug driving and denies any drug consumption whatsoever.
“There is no evidence at this stage that Mr Fincham drove whilst over the legal limit and we are hopeful that his blood results will prove the same.
“Mr Fincham does feel as though he has become a target of Kent Police in recent months and is considering lodging a complaint against the force.”
It comes just days after Jack was confirmed to be taking part in Love Island: The Games, a new spin-off on the hit dating show.
The new edition of the show will see current and former stars of the series across the world return in the hopes of finding love once again.

Jack was thought to have already flown out to Fiji to start filming the show, but has since dropped out and is instead flying to Spain for the MTV dating show.
Other Love Island stars have seemingly hinted towards taking part in the spin-off show, including Megan Barton Hanson and professional dancer Curtis Pritchard.
Last year’s runner up Luca Bish also appeared to confirm he would be appearing on the show, which will feature some of the hottest bombshells from all of the show’s international series.
