He may have been branded "rude" and "brash" by viewers during his stint on Celebs Go Datingthis summer – but Jack Fincham was happy and charming on the red carpet at the Animal Hero Awards.

Jack, 28 – who won Love Island 2018 with then-girlfriend Dani Dyer – says, "If I wasn’t getting on with someone, I wasn’t going to waste my time.

"I just didn’t meet anyone I liked and no-one looks good on a bad date. Ninety-nine per cent of the time I was joking, but people didn’t get it. People always have an opinion of you."

He continued, "I am very single at the minute. But I learned a lot about myself when I was on the show. I just think I will know love when it comes along – something just clicks. We will see!"
