Ronan Keating has called out his son Jack's comments during an episode of Love Island.
Jack, 23, who works as a social media manager in Dublin, joined Casa Amor as one of six new boys hoping to find love with one of the original girls. He quickly set about chatting to Gemma, 19, about the pair's famous dads - Gemma's dad is former footballer Michael Owen.
Former Boyzone star Ronan was shocked to hear how his son described him to Gemma, and felt the need to address the comments during The One Show, the Mirror reports.

Chatting to hosts Jermaine Jenas and Alex Jones, Ronan revealed he has "definitely not retired" despite what his son says. Ronan was grilled by the hosts about his son's involvement in the show and his shock comment.
He said: "He did drop the line that I was retired, that I was shocked about! I nearly fell off me chair! What? I'm doing The One Show next week, I'm in York tonight!" He then confirmed: "No I'm definitely not retired!"
Jermaine went on to tease the singer about possibly becoming family with Michael Owen, with Ronan joking they could become "out-laws". The Life is a Rollercoaster singer also revealed he hoped the public would warm to "shy" Jack, adding: "He's my boy and I just want to protect him."
