Chloe Brockett breaks silence as boyfriend Jack Fincham is spared jail sentence

Chloe Brockett breaks silence as boyfriend Jack Fincham is spared jail sentence

Chloe Brockett broke her silence on Friday as she spoke for the first time since her boyfriend Jack Fincham was spared from prison. 

Jack, 32, successfully overturned his six-week jail sentence after appealing against his conviction for owning a dangerously out-of-control dog.

In an interview, Chloe, 24, admitted she was ‘over the moon with the outcome’ as she candidly discussed the impact it had on her mental health. 

She told The Sun: ‘I should be cartwheeling and having a glᴀss of Prosecco, but instead, I’m just sitting at my kitchen table thinking, ‘Oh my God, it’s finally all over’.”

‘Jack takes full responsibility but I found it so unjust and it was just horrible. I didn’t see that coming at all so obviously I was just so shocked. I didn’t even get a chance to say goodbye.’ 

Chloe did not attend court, which she admitted made her ‘feel like a really bad person’ but she feared for her health.

She explained: ‘I’ve been so unwell and was really scared, I just didn’t think I could sit through it. I knew that I would get panicked in there and maybe that could affect my health.’ 

Chloe was rushed to A&E earlier this week as she struggled to breathe after an asthma attack and admitted the last few months have ‘taken their toll’ on her. 

Jack was originally sentenced in January 2025 after his black Cane Corso, Elvis, injured runner Robert Sudell in Swanley, Kent, in September 2022. 

On Friday, he looked miserable as he carried an overnight bag into court while facing a prison sentence – before he emerged from the building beaming with joy and giving a thumbs up following his reprieve. 

He spoke only to confirm his name and was wearing a long brown overcoat with a light brown cardigan underneath.

Instead his 18-month suspended sentence for a drug-driving offence in March 2024 has been extended by three months.

Jack, who had pleaded guilty to the charge, faced two separate incidents involving his dog. 

The first attack left Mr. Sudell with an injury, while a second incident in June 2024 saw a woman’s calf grabbed – though no injury was reported.

As part of his original sentence pᴀssed at the magistrates’ court, he was ordered to pay £3,680, including a £2,000 contribution to kennelling costs, a fine of £961 and £200 compensation to Mr Sudell. 

Richard Cooper, for Jack, said that the dog incident in June 2024 happened when he had ‘just moved to the property and was bringing boxes in from the car – while he did so the dog slipped out’.

The court had initially handed Jack a custodial sentence, citing his failure to comply with conditions set after the first attack, including keeping Elvis on a lead and wearing a muzzle. 

However, his legal team successfully argued that immediate imprisonment was too harsh.

Richard Cooper defending said: ‘It is a stupid thing as a result of a lack of attention to detail. He should’ve made enquiries [before taking his dog to the pub unleashed]. 

‘These are problems of his own making but there has been remarkable progress by Mr Fincham through his own volition and hard work.

‘He struck rock bottom three years ago without work, he found himself indulging in alcohol and drugs regularly.

‘His work dried up. But it is to his credit what he has done to put that right. He has engaged councillors. He has returned to a 9-5 job which doesn’t trade on anything but hard work. He has returned to boxing.’

The appeal’s success means Jack will now avoid jail but must still comply with strict conditions regarding Elvis. These include ensuring the dog is always muzzled and leashed in public and not left alone with anyone under 16.

Samanth Leigh, said as she pᴀssed her judgement: ‘We agree that the activation of the suspended sentence was not just. 

‘We will replace that with a three months extension to your suspended sentence. It would not be appropriate to change other sentence that was imposed.’

She added: ‘Mr Fincham you need to be very careful now. It is never the fault of the dog, it is always the owners fault.’

In March, Jack was spared jail after speeding his £50,000 car during a cocaine binge.

He was behind the wheel of his BMW 520D driving down the hard shoulder of the A2 in Kent when he was stopped by police.

Jack later admitted drug driving and driving without due care and attention.

He also pleaded guilty to driving without insurance and using false number plates.

Jack, who won Love Island’s 2018 series with Dani Dyer, told the court he was ‘driving angry’ to see a friend ‘who was in a bad way’ in August 2023.

He was given a 12-week sentence suspended for 18 months. This has now been extended for three months.
