‘I'M NOT AFRAID OF GETTING PUNCHED IN THE FACE'

IN THE FACE’ FORMER LOVE ISLANDER JACK FINCHAM TELLS OK! ABOUT HIS GOAL OF BECOMING A PRO BOXER AND THOSE ENGAGEMENT RUMOURS

- OLIVIA BUXTON

Jack Fincham shot to fame on Love Island in 2018 and, after coupling up with Dani Dyer, the pair went on to win the show. The former stationery sales manager from Kent and the actress called time on their relationship in April 2019.

Jack, 26, shocked fans when he announced that he’d become a dad in January, following a “whirlwind romance” with NHS worker Casey Ranger. He has since revealed they have split but their priority is “co-parenting” their daughter Blossom.

He is now in a new relationship with Essex girl Connie O’Hara and the pair were rumoured to be engaged when she appeared to be photographed with a ring on her finger. But, in this exclusive interview with OK!, Jack sets the record straight. “There are no plans for an engagement yet. It is very early days, so I’m taking it as it comes,” he reveals.

Meanwhile, his ex Dani, 24, is 23 weeks pregnant by boyfriend Sammy Kimmence and Jack wishes her nothing but the best, saying, “I want to say congratulations because she is going to be a mum. I haven’t spoken to her. Why would I? We’re not together. But I wish her all the best.”

It’s fair to say the star has undergone a dramatic transformation since leaving the villa, adopting a healthy lifestyle and exercise plan and revealing that he’s now training to become a professional boxer.
