Love Island Star Jack Fincham Faced with Driving Ban Following BMW Collision with Traffic Island Shortly after Cocaine Use

Jack Fincham was hit with a driving ban and charged with two counts of drug-driving after crashing his BMW into a traffic island two days after taking cocaine.

He admitted to both offences at Medway Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.

According to The Sun, the former Love Island star, 31, was seen driving on the wrong side of the road by a woman seated in a car behind him on Old Bexley Lane, Kent on March 18.

Jack was seen clipping a kerb and speeding along the street and the witness reported him to police.

The prosecutor said: ‘It was about 9pm and the witness saw a blue BMW hit kerbs, drive on the wrong side of the road at excess speed and then she saw him hit a traffic island.

‘He was standing at the driver’s side of the car with the door open and admitted to police he had taken cocaine two nights previously.

‘He initially refused to give a sample, but was later found to be over the limit for cocaine and benzoylecgonine, a cocaine by-product.’

MailOnline has contacted a spokesperson for Jack Fincham for comment.

Jack was given a 36-month driving ban and ordered to complete 60 hours of unpaid community work.

It’s not the first time the reality star has found himself in trouble with polivce.

He was arrested in August for allegedly drug-driving and having false plates on his car.

At the time, Jack insisted he has not been charged with drug-driving after the alleged incident on the A2, near Dartford.

His solicitor Conor Johnstone, from Maj Law firm, said he understood the number plates on his vehicle were private plates, not false plates.

At the time of his arrest, Jack was given a blood test and held on suspicion of careless driving and driving without insurance, according to reports.

He was then released under investigation until November 26.

Jack’s solicitor Conor Johnstone, of M.A.J Law, said at the time: ‘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.’

His solicitor also said the TV personality is considering lodging a formal complaint against the police after becoming a ‘target’ by local police.

In a statement given at the time, Kent Police said: ‘On Saturday 26 August 2023, officers arrested a 31-year-old man from Swanley on suspicion of drug driving, careless driving, driving without insurance and driving while displaying false number plates, on the A2 near Dartford.

‘He has since been bailed until 26 November 2023.’
