Love Island’s Jack Fincham revealed he’s looking to switch things up and try his hand at acting.
The reality show winner made his name looking for love on ITV2 but after landing a role in an upcoming crime flick, it seems he’s caught the acting bug.
Playing the part of Tommy in The Last Heist, the former partner of Dani Dyer said he wanted to jump feet first into the world of the silver screen.
Dreaming of making it big, Jack – who won the 2018 series of the ITV2 show – attended the premiere of the film in Leicester Square and shared his desire to turn acting into his full-time gig.
Jack said: ‘Do you know… yeah I actually want to get into acting.
‘I’m away from a month doing a pantomime in Wales in December.

‘So you know doing stuff like that, acting, theatre and stuff, it’s going to give me more credibility to do more films and stuff.’
He added to The Sun: ‘I’d love to do more films. I really enjoyed it.’
It was announced in August that Jack would be joining Daniella Westbrook for a run of pantomime performances.
The soap actress gushed over working with the former Islander when she said: ‘Jack’s my friend, he’s like a little son to me.’
Claiming to make ‘bank robberies great again’, The Last Heist is a classic gangster film set in London.

Acting alongside Dapper Laughs, the 29-year-old shocked fans last year by posting battered and bruised photos of himself from behind the scenes.
Beaming alongside co-star Josh Myers, the star shared the snaps with his followers and captioned the moment: ‘Had the best day making my movie debut was so good to work with this chap @joshmyers1986 learnt so much from him.
‘Also would like to thank @terrystoneofficial @dappersinstagram and @terracecult #film #moviedebut’
Perhaps taking inspiration from his once-to-be father-in-law, actor Danny Dyer, Jack made his TV debut when he won Love Island in 2018.
Jack and Dani have since gone their separate ways, with Jack and his ex, Casey Ranger, giving birth to daughter, Blossom.
While waiting for another shot at playing pretend, Jack has been training for an upcoming boxing match against Anthony Taylor.
This weekend, he will make his professional debut on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather vs Deji in Dubai.
The Last Heist will be available on Digital Download from November 14
