Love Island's Jack Fincham shares gruesome video of his blood during cupping treatment

Jack Fincham was sure to turn his Instagram followers’ stomachs as he showcased the bloody aftermath of his cupping treatment.

The Love Island star showed off the gory by-product of the treatment which he had done on his head and claimed the jellied lumps of blood looked like a “trifle”.

Documenting the experience on Instagram, the 30-year-old told his followers: "I tell you what, when I come in here it's like having a car MOT, changing your oil, it's the only way I can describe it.

"Look what's about to come out of my head."

The reality TV star, who was lying on his front, explained that he could "feel the pressure" as a cup was pulled from his head with blood pouring out onto a towel.

Showing the solidified blood to the camera, Jack shared: "Look what's come out of my head, it's like a trifle."

Turning to his therapist at the Abdelkader Cupping clinic, he continued: "That's the worst one yet, isn't it? That's a lot of toxins, you don't want that running around your head.

"It looks like a liver, I reckon I can sell that down the market. No more stress."

Jack’s not the first famous face to have endured the treatment with it being a hit with Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Paris Hilton, David Arquette, Lady Gaga, Denise Richards and even tennis ace Andy Murray.

The ancient form of Chinese acupuncture involves placing heated glass cups on your back, head and shoulders – and even sometimes on your hamstrings, forearms and thighs.

The treatment is supposed to alleviate aches and pains, reduce stress, increase energy levels, aid weight-loss and help fertility by stimulating blood flow.

Cupping often causes bruising and minor skin irritation, with the circular bruises a tell-tale sign that someone has undergone the procedure.

It also draws out stagnant or congested blood - which is what Jack showed off at the end of his treatment.

It’s not the first time the ITV star has undergone the treatment having previously enjoyed a session in December.

At the time, the star was left stunned by the jellied blood that left his body and declared: "This it madness, it's like a jellyfish."
