Jack Fincham Slams Danny Dyer for ‘Backhanded Digs’ After Actor’s Love Island Comments

BBG News

Six years following his separation from Dani Dyer, Jack Fincham‘s long-standing dispute with Danny Dyer has once again flared up.

The situation became more intense following the EastEnders actor’s recent remarks on the Table Manners podcast, implying that Jack’s true self off-screen differs from his persona on Love Island.

In a recent response, Jack, aged 32, raised a point about Danny persistently making jabs at him, wondering if this is still necessary considering Danny’s own history of challenges.

In a statement, he shared, “I’m focusing on moving forward in life. It’s puzzling to me that Danny seems to have taken occasional jabs at me, considering the respect I held for him, and given his battles, which were far more severe than anything I’ve faced.

He stated: ‘I was genuine on TV since that was my true self, with no drugs or distractions, just me living authentically. Regrettably, drugs, distractions, and poor choices transformed me into someone I didn’t want to be. However, I’m grateful I’m no longer the undesirable version of myself.’

Jack’s buddy found Danny’s comments disheartening, considering the actor’s active role in championing men’s mental health awareness.

It was observed that at present, Danny is advertising the movie “Marching Powder,” in which he portrays a jailed drug addict named Jack. The fact that his statements were made recently raises some eyebrows about their timing.

They stated, ‘Given Danny’s past isn’t squeaky clean, it’s surprising that he thinks he has the right to be so critical.’

Jack has openly discussed his previous challenges, revealing last month that issues with addiction and impulsive spending made him feel defeated.

Previously, it was disclosed that he squandered more than a million pounds on substances like drugs, liquor, and games of chance, which played a significant role in the deterioration of his bond with Dani.

Indeed, I’ve taken a pledge to transform my lifestyle, opting for a sober celebration this past New Year, marking my first holiday season without alcohol since making the switch at Christmas.

2018 saw Jack and Dani emerge victorious from Love Island, but their relationship didn’t last long, ending less than a year after. Both have since found new partners: Jack is currently dating Chloe Brockett from TOWIE, while Dani is engaged to footballer Jarrod Bowen and has twin daughters, Summer and Star with him. Interestingly, despite their moves on, Jack’s father, Danny, has still taken jabs at Jack in the media.

In a discussion about table manners with Jessie & Lennie Ware, the actor expressed that he didn’t have much interaction with Jack beyond the reality TV show, and stated that Jack appeared to be different from his perceived personality outside of the villa. Additionally, the actor hinted that reality television doesn’t accurately portray individuals’ true personalities because of the restrictive filming environment.

In an unusual conversation regarding his daughter’s former partner, Danny expressed to Jessie and Lennie: ‘I didn’t actually get a chance to know him. To put it straightforwardly, it seems he wasn’t as good as he appeared on television.’

He continued by saying, ‘Imagine yourself in a villa where there are no phones or distractions. Can you truly be authentic in such a structured environment? Only when you step outside does reality become clear. They gave it their best, but unfortunately, it didn’t succeed.’

Additionally, the EastEnders actor disclosed his frustration when Love Island producers orchestrated a plot twist during the show, leading Dani to believe that Jack had been unfaithful while in Casa Amor.

Danielle broke into tears upon receiving a video message that contained a brief moment of Jack meeting his former girlfriend, Ellie Jones, which seemed to suggest some questionable circumstances.

In the heat of Love Island, I found myself deeply siding with Jack as he remained steadfastly loyal to Dani, despite his minimal interactions with Ellie. This decision sparked quite a stir among viewers, who deemed it ‘cruel’ and took their concerns to Ofcom in droves, breaking the previous record for the most complaints ever recorded in Love Island history – an astounding 2,525 voices were heard.

Danny expressed his anger as well, stating, “Not only were the scenes infuriating, but they went a step further by suggesting he was unfaithful to her. I was boiling with rage. I demanded facts, I wanted solid evidence.

They staged a scene as if he were napping on a bed outside, while she wept profusely, and I realized this tragic scenario would soon be my fate. How on earth could you inflict this upon such an innocent child?

Indeed, quite a challenging scene to witness, yet she managed to persevere. She embraced the situation wholeheartedly and has now launched her own fashion line. Such an exquisite young individual she is. I am filled with immense pride for her accomplishments. I take pride in all my children too.

Back in 2023, Danny didn’t hold back when he had a heated, profanity-laced argument with Jack. And it’s not the first time this has happened between them.

Following the news of Jack being apparently taken into custody under suspicion of drug-related driving, Danny expressed his feelings by calling him a derogatory term and showed his appreciation that his daughter had formed a relationship with an extraordinary individual named Jarrod.

According to The Sun’s report, he stated: “My Dani brought some outrageous pets home. On a Sunday, they were sitting at my table while I was enjoying my roast lamb.

He went on to say, “It’s not for you to decide who your kids should fall in love with. Just let things unfold naturally. And later, she brought home Jarrod Bowen. I worked hard for him. He’s truly an exceptional individual.

If granted unlimited wishes, I would simply ask for someone – male or female, it doesn’t matter – to admire and respect my daughter profoundly, as if she were walking on hallowed ground.

Afterward, Jack countered the Rivals player on his Instagram Stories, labeling Danny as ‘unworthy’ and suggesting that he should prepare for potential repercussions.

He growled angrily: “Really? I’ve never been served a leg of lamb at your place. If there’s something on my mind that you want to discuss, you know how to reach me, so avoid making baseless accusations as we both remember what transpired the last time, don’t we, Danny Dyer?

As a die-hard admirer, let me share with you something extraordinary: In a recent video, he expressed, “You won’t believe it, but I rarely respond to media speculations about me. However, there’s one exception – a certain individual who seems to follow me everywhere, and people ask about him all the time, no matter the location.

When someone asks me if I’ve met her father and what he’s like, I usually reply by saying, “He’s a really nice guy, absolutely wonderful.” In casual language, you might say, “Every time I’m asked about meeting her dad and describing him, I always tell people he’s a real charmer, truly fantastic.

“I only speak positively, so it’s disrespectful for a man my age to call me such offensive names in a newspaper. It’s beneath him and unacceptable behavior.

In the meantime, Jack, who was released from prison following an incident involving his dog biting a jogger last month, has shared his struggles with spending £1 million on substances like drugs, alcohol, and gambling, as well as his desperate attempts to take his own life due to these issues.

He admitted that his life took a dismal direction due to his addictions, reaching a point where he once splurged an astonishing £40,000 in a single day on online Blackjack.

In a conversation on This Morning, Jack openly confessed that he lacked self-respect and frequently took risks by driving unsafely.

In his initial television interview following his surprising revelations, he disclosed to hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard the manner in which he squandered his money and shared insights into how his addictions led him astray.

The television personality, abstaining since Christmas Day, shared: “It was terrible. It would begin with just one drink, but it would lead to using other substances, and eventually, I’d use even more to fall asleep.

‘The situation seems to repeat itself, giving you brief periods of respite for several days. This is why I assumed there wasn’t a serious issue since I could take breaks in between. However, I later found myself dependent on another drug, an anti-anxiety medication, and had to seek treatment at a rehabilitation center.’

My loved ones and I, along with my bond with Chloe Brockett, have been incredibly encouraging. However, I’ve reached a limit as to how many more times they can reassure me that we’ll get through this tough time. At some point, it seems there’s nothing left to restore.

He went on to say: “I thought, if I gamble while under the influence, I might lose my senses, so I decided to try my luck at Blackjack today in hopes of winning £100,000 – unfortunately, that outcome was highly improbable.

This behavior occurred solely during my drunken episodes. I was raking in approximately $40,000 a day and winning around $5,000 per hand at Blackjack. Just who did I believe myself to be?

The television personality disclosed, “I squandered nearly a million pounds, and it’s not merely the money. My actions were risky, showing little concern for my own well-being.

I hadn’t given much thought to my own well-being. I would get into accidents with cars, only to fix them afterwards. The blame falls squarely on me. I acknowledge my mistakes wholeheartedly. I’m facing the repercussions now and I want to make amends.

Jack mentioned: “Previously, situations would turn sour or unpleasant events would occur, and I found myself incapable of coping effectively. Instead, I’d often escape into alcohol and substance abuse, which served more as a distraction rather than a solution to the challenges and difficulties I faced.

Initially, I believed I had no issues to address. However, since I was 18 years old, it has persistently been a struggle for me, alas, due to my recent appearance on TV, these problems have become public knowledge. They aren’t the kind of matters that can be discreetly resolved in private settings.

‘It’s stuff that I’ve done that now everyone knows about. It’s not something I could keep back.’

He explained that whether he became famous or not, he would still have struggled with these issues.

He informed the hosts: “The source of my funds doesn’t matter; this outcome would have transpired in any case, irrespective of the circumstances.

Quickly amassing a lot of wealth sped things up for me, but the momentum was already building. Unfortunately, there have been numerous chances I missed because of my wealth, which I didn’t acknowledge or address, leading to missed opportunities.

My having lots of money made things happen faster, although they would have happened eventually. Sadly, there were many opportunities I let slip by due to my wealth, and I didn’t admit or deal with the problem at hand.

Rather than moving on and potentially disappointing others while damaging relationships, I chose not to jeopardize the connections I had made. Unfortunately, it seemed that I had limited options for support, leaving me with little to save or rely on.
