Love Island winner banned from All Stars return after criminal conviction and drugs battle
JACK Fincham has been banned from taking part in Love Island All Stars due to his criminal conviction and battle with drugs.
The TV favourite won the hit reality show in 2018 - but he was slapped with a 36-month driving ban in October after he crashed his BMW while under the influence of cocaine.
And he was arrested by police in August for drug-driving, for which investigations are ongoing.
He has now been barred from joining the glittering line-up of stars pitching for a second chance at love in the villa.
A source told The Sun: "Jack’s keen to make a big return to TV and what better than the show that made his name?
"Sadly he was turned down by ITV - I think his turbulent year would cast a shadow over the show."

The Sun has approached ITV for comment.
Jack was dealt another career blow after he failed to inform MTV of his run-in with police and telly bosses learned of it in the papers.
He was consequently sacked from Celebs Go Dating.
In an emotional interview with The Sun, Jack opened up about his addiction battle and said his conviction in October has helped change his life.
Alongside using class A drugs, including cocaine, Jack admitted to taking at least 30 diazepam pills a day to cope with his crippling anxiety.
He insisted he has been clean ever since and he's returned to his former job as a salesman.
He said: "I was told I was being stood down this time and that I couldn't go.
"It was embarrassing... MTV said they think I'm great and they love me, but until that case is closed they can't have me on the show."
Jack added: "I'm in the process of building myself back up - which is hence why I'm back selling office supplies. Stick to what you know."
Love Island All Stars is due to start filming this month in South Africa.
