Jack Fincham off to rehab
Struggling Jack Fincham is off to rehab after a place was offered to him by Steps Together.
Jack Fincham is going back to rehab.
The 33-year-old reality star revealed last week he had relapsed into taking drugs and alcohol and again and had just £20 to his name, but the former Love Island winner has been offered a place at Rainford Hall in Merseyside by Steps Together.
He told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “Talking about my problems with The Sun on Sunday could change my life. I told how I couldn’t afford rehab and this company came forward. I know I’m lucky. I can’t stuff this up.
“I am going to work hard and not let anybody down.”
Jack - who previously went to rehab in 2021 - will spend two months at the facility, where he will receive £32,000 of treatment, including therapy six days a week and physical exercise with a boxing coach.
Steps Together's deputy CEO Steve Jones said: “Jack wants to get better and we want to help him.”
The former stationery salesman spoke of his struggles last weekend, admitting he had "spiralled" after having a drink at a time when he felt he had "won" his battle over his demons.
He said: “I spent thousands doing rehab but didn’t truly believe I had a problem so came out with the same mindset.
“A few months ago I thought it’d be OK to have a drink. I’d done a big stint of not drinking and thought, ‘Yeah, I’ve got this under control, I’ve won’. But it spiralled.
“Since then I have done drugs, I have done laughing gas.
“I have been so drunk that I’ve kissed a woman over Christmas and don’t even remember doing it. I’m embarrassed, mortified. I feel like an idiot.
“I am a 33-year-old man. I should be settled down, married. Instead I need help.
“I’d love to go to rehab because now I know that I have a problem and I want to be able to say no to future temptations.”
Jack has realised he can't have a single drink without things getting out of control.
He said: “As soon as I had one I was up on the bar dancing, then it was the sambucas and tequila. I don’t even like tequila.
“I started to ring people, I started to talk nonsense.
“I’ve now realised I’m someone that cannot pick up a drink.
“From there I started to go to the corner shop on my electric bike and drink BuzzBallz on my own. I’d knock back two or three of them.
“They got me drunk quickly. Then I’d go home and try to sleep. I am an insomniac.
“I have been addicted to sleeping pills in the past too.
“From there I found some diazepam in an old coat pocket and started taking them too.
“It became a vicious cycle of drinking more and stupid mistakes.
“I did laughing gas, nitrous oxide with my mates, balloons in the back of cars like a stupid kid. I am too old for all that. And it is wrong.
“I am easily influenced, which is ridiculous to admit, but I am.
“That’s why I need rehab. I need the tools so I can say, ‘No, that’s not for me. I can’t do that’.”
