Jack Fincham was left stunned after his date suggested he was “not over” ex-girlfriend Dani Dyer.

The reality star, 28, was taken aback by the comment in the latest episode of Celebs Go Dating, where Fincham was set up with Chloe, 23, from Essex.

Despite the couple kissing in the date, dating agent Paul Brunson revealed that Chloe did not think the pair had a future.

He is seen telling Jack: "So we asked Chloe, 'Do you think you're a good match?', and and she said: 'Yes we are a good match, but things would be better if circumstances were different, as I think he is too newly single.'”

Fincham was taken aback by her response, and said: “Is that what she said? I don’t even think about my other relationships. It’s not a thing.”

Dating agent Anna Williamson then quizzed Fincham, asking if he spoke about Dyer, 23, – who he was crowned the winner of Love Island 2018 with – on the date, to which he said: “Never, I would never do it. That’s a basic rule, I’m not silly.”

She then highlighted the cons of starring in such a high profile television show, and said it was up to Fincham as to whether or not he would live in Dyer’s shadow.

“You have come out of a really high profile relationship whether we like it or not, so it’s really for you to rewrite the next chapter,” Williamson said. “Am I going to be Jack from Love Island that went out with Dani Dyer, or am I Jack?”

He revealed he was finding dating tricky, saying: “I’ll be honest, I’m finding it quite hard to be dumped in front of someone and date them, I actually am struggling with it.”

He said: “I had three serious girlfriends long-term. And you know, being with them, I've said 'I love you" to all of them. Did I [love them]? I don't know'."

Fincham and Dyer, who has since reunited with her stockbroker ex-boyfriend Sammy Kimmence, announced they had ended their eight month relationship in April.
