No One Holds a Grudge Longer Than an Ex’s Family: Jack Fincham and Danny Dyer Still Feuding After Six Years

The long-running tension between Jack Fincham and Danny Dyer has once again resurfaced, proving that the grudges of an ex’s family can last for years. Six years after Jack’s split from Dani Dyer, their once-intertwined lives should have gone separate ways, but Danny doesn’t seem ready to let go of his issues with Jack.

The latest spark in their feud came from Danny’s appearance on the Table Manners podcast, where he took yet another swipe at Jack, suggesting that he wasn’t the same person in real life as he appeared to be on Love Island. Though the remark may have seemed subtle, it was enough to provoke a reaction from Jack, who is clearly frustrated by Danny’s continued digs at him.

Jack, now 32, didn’t stay silent. Responding to Danny’s latest criticism, he openly questioned why the EastEnders star continues to make backhanded remarks about him, especially given his own past struggles.

"I am just trying to move on with my life. I'm not sure why Danny, a few times now, has given me a backhanded dig or insult, especially as I looked up to him and he has had his own struggles a lot worse than mine."

Jack’s response makes it clear—he wants to leave the past in the past, but Danny’s continuous jabs make it difficult. He once admired Dani’s father, but now finds himself on the receiving end of repeated criticism, even years after his relationship with Dani ended.

While Jack was visibly frustrated with Danny’s remarks, he didn’t shy away from self-reflection. He admitted that Danny was right in one regard—he had appeared different on TV compared to real life.

However, he insisted that the person he showed on Love Island was his true self, free from the distractions and poor choices that later affected him.

"He is right—I was different on telly as that was the real me. No drugs, no distractions, just me living life. I let drugs and distractions and bad decisions change me back to who I didn't want to be. But thank God I'm no longer the bad version of myself."

Jack’s words suggest that he has been through his own battles, struggling with personal demons that led him away from the best version of himself. However, he has worked to turn his life around, and he doesn’t understand why Danny continues to judge him based on past mistakes.

Jack and Dani’s romance captivated audiences when they won Love Island in 2018. The couple’s chemistry and charm made them fan favorites, but their relationship was short-lived, ending less than a year later.

Since then, both have moved on—Dani is now engaged to footballer Jarrod Bowen and is a mother to twin girls, Summer and Star, while Jack is dating TOWIE star Chloe Brockett.

Despite Dani’s ability to leave the past behind and build a new life, Danny Dyer seems unwilling to let go of his grudge against Jack. While it’s natural for a father to be protective of his daughter, Danny’s lingering resentment raises questions—what exactly is keeping him from moving on?

Perhaps it stems from the way Jack and Dani’s relationship ended, or maybe Danny simply doesn’t believe Jack has changed. Either way, his public comments continue to stir up old drama that Jack would rather leave behind.

For Jack, the priority is clear—he wants to move forward without being constantly reminded of his past. His response to Danny’s latest comments shows that while he acknowledges his mistakes, he also refuses to let them define him.

However, whether Danny will ever truly let go of his grudge remains uncertain. His outspoken nature and protective instincts mean he won’t hesitate to speak his mind, even years after his daughter’s relationship with Jack ended.

The question now is whether Jack and Danny will ever be able to put their differences aside. Or will this feud continue to resurface every time Danny has a microphone in front of him?

For now, Jack has made it clear—he has changed, he is no longer the man he once was, and he wants to be left alone. But if history is any indication, Danny Dyer isn’t one to let things go so easily. Fans will be watching closely to see if Danny takes another swipe at Jack—or if this battle will finally come to an end.
