ITV Love Island's Casa Amor contestant has a very famous dad

Love Island has confirmed the line-up for Casa Amor.

The iconic flashing neon sign played at the end of last night's episode, which signalled fans are set to see the famous second villa on screens. The arrival of a new batch of Islanders has traditionally resulted in the show's most dramatic moments as heads may be turned.

Series eight of the popular dating programme has already featured an Islander with a famous dad as Michael Owen's daughter, Gemma, is competing on the show. Casa Amor will see another contestant with a famous dad as Jack Keating is heading to the Majorcan villa.

The 23-year-old hails from Dublin and is the son of popstar, Ronan Keating. He said: "Yeah my dad is a singer, Ronan Keating. He will be watching when I’m on it for sure. He’s buzzing for me, me and my dad are very close, we’re best mates."

Jack explained he is appearing on the show in the hope he will find love. He said: "I’ve been single for a long time, probably 4 or 5 years now and I’ve really been missing that spark that I haven’t been getting on the dating scene, like I’ve been dating for a long time. And I just thought why not? Hopefully I’ll get a connection with somebody and see what happens."

The account manager is heading into the villa to look for a relationship. He said: " The reason why is that my sex life is amazing, but my love life is awful. I am the master of failed talking stages. My love life isn’t going the right way so one night I decided to apply for Love Island and now I’m here!"

Josh has explained he is not afraid to step on people's toes in the villa. He said: "said: "I feel like I am competitive. I’d definitely step on someone's toes, but I wouldn’t necessarily take a big risk if I wasn’t feeling them 100%. "I think I’ll bring a lot of energy, hopefully some good chat and maybe a little bit of trouble but we’ll see!

George described himself as competitive as he explained his reasons for appearing on the show. He said: " I’m more of a perfectionist with myself. I’m in there to try and find someone and if that means treading on people's toes, then that means treading on toes.

"If it feels right and she feels right with me then you’d be stupid not to go for it - you’ve got to follow your heart. If there is something genuine then I’m going to go for it."

Samuel is a model and is confident for what he'll bring to the villa. He added: "I’m a happy, positive guy and I like to live in the moment and live blissfully. I like to bring good energy wherever I am. I’m the type of person you’ll see dancing a lot, I’m the type of person who likes to put smiles on other peoples faces."

Billy Brown, 22, Surrey

Billy owns a roofing business and is on the look for love after his relationship recently ended. He said: "I’m having fun. Since I split with my girlfriend around a year ago, I just thought I won’t take it too seriously, if I find someone, I find someone, if not then I’ll do my own thing. I haven’t really found that one yet I don’t think."
