HE bravely admitted hitting rock bottom after splashing all his TV earnings on booze, drugs and partying – but Jack Fincham has vowed to finally get on the straight and narrow.
The champion, who is preparing for the biggest fight of his career this summer – and has found the secret to his success.
Today, reveals to Flying Eze he's been secretly using weight loss jabs and, to his surprise, discovered they have helped with his symptoms.
They have also helped him lose three stone in just a month.
“It's a miracle drug, it totally fixed the problems I suffer from having ADHD,” said Jack, who dropped from 17st down to 14st in just four weeks thanks to also eating healthily and exercising.
“Imagine having seven conversations going on in your head at all times, 24/7. It gets really tiring.
“After starting the jab, it quietened the noise down a bit.
“I could finally concentrate on something for more than two minutes.”
Jack first tried after purchasing them online with the help of medical professionals ahead of a boxing match earlier this year.
Within days he noticed a significant improvement in his concentration and memory – and has since praised the drug's positive impact on his addiction struggles.
He is now seeking medical advice to continue using weight loss jabs after seeing improved results in comparison to taking ADHD medication, Elvanse.
“I first took Mounjaro when I was getting back into training and felt like I needed a kick start because I’d let my weight creep up and was feeling down about it,” said Jack.
“It was all over and I’d seen people getting good results, but what amazed me was the difference in my ADHD symptoms I was focused for the first in years and not so impulsive.
“It takes away your cravings. Suddenly you don't want to go and eat rubbish or start drinking.
“For me, drinking always led to something else so not wanting to drink has been brilliant for my sobriety journey. It was another side effect that was a total surprise.”
A dramatic rise in the number of people with of late has led many empowered patients to refer to the mental health condition as their “superpower” – but not Jack.
The reality TV star, who shot to fame after , has suffered from it since he was a child but was officially diagnosed in early 2020.
Despite ADHD prescriptions having more than tripled in a decade, the 33-year-old insists the condition shouldn't be celebrated.
“It feels like everyone has ADHD nowadays,” he said.
“People will say ‘it's my superpower'. It's like they want to have it.
“But I'd do anything not to have it. I hate it. Whereas I've seen it being treated like it's the latest fashion trend, with some almost celebrating having condition.
“I don't understand why people think it's their superpower. It's awful.”
Jack has bravely opened up about his in the past, revealing he .
He has been sober since Christmas Day – and is now focused on his next professional fight with a well-known name, yet to be announced, in July.
I don't understand why people think ADHD is their superpower. It's awful.

Jack's suicide attempt
It comes after he last summer during a trip to a West Midlands country hotel with girlfriend Chloe Brockett.
He spiralled after realising he'd done 30 TV shows but had no money to show for it.
Jack downed shots of sambuca, Prosecco and five vodkas at a time until terrified Chloe begged staff to call an ambulance because she was scared he was “going to kill himself”.
While she was getting help, Jack told Flying Eze how he'd attempted to take his own life from the hotel balcony but thankfully escaped with minor injuries.
He said he couldn't walk for weeks – but when he saw how died, he realised that could have been his fate.
Life is hard, but I'm going to keep going and make the best of it. That's all I can do.

Jack added: “Life is hard, but I'm going to keep going and make the best of it. That's all I can do.
“We're not here for long. I always thought I had plenty of time to get myself sorted, but it needs to happen now.
“In a world that's full of things we can't control, I'm taking control of the things I can work on and change, like my health.”
