Ronan Keating hints his 'busy' daughter Missy, 21, could appear on Love Island this year

Ronan Keating stalled when asked whether his daughter would be joining the Love Island cast this summer.

There have been rumours that Missy, who he shares with ex-wife Yvonne Connolly, will be putting on a swimsuit and enjoying the sunshine in the famous villa.

During his appearance on Good Morning Britain this week, Ronan, 45, kept it extremely vague on whether the rumours are true or not.

Host Ben Shephard asked: "I'm very excited as you know, I am a watcher of television, to hear the rumour that Missy your daughter may be making her way onto Love Island?

"Is there any truth, will we be watching her on the new series?"

Ronan said he hasn't 'heard anything' about the rumours, and added: "But you never know, these kids are busy.

"All my kids they're all busy doing different things, I haven't heard anything myself at the moment."

Co-host Kate Garraway then asked how he would feel if he saw Missy on the ITV2 dating competition.

"Because I am sure you love Love Island but I wonder if it's different if you are a dad with a daughter on it," she said.

Ronan answered: "Pass, yeah I don't know how I feel about that one. I wouldn't be able to watch."

It isn't the first time that it has been rumoured that Missy has been offered a spot on Love Island.

Back in 2020, the Boyzone singer admitted that his daughter was 'getting a lot of offers' from reality shows.

During a chat on Martin and Roman's Sunday Best at the time, he said: "She’s getting a lot of offers from different reality TV shows to do different things. She’s a very confident girl."

He added: "She’s beautiful, she’s got her head on her shoulders, she’s a grafter. I mean, my dad taught all of his kids to be the grafter and work hard.

"He believed the football player that trained the hardest got his game on Sunday and that’s something that was instilled in me and I think my kids have that now and it’s just amazing."

Meanwhile, Ronan and his ex-wife Yvonne put on a united front to celebrate Missy's 21st birthday in February.

He was married to Yvonne from 1998 until 2015 and together they share three children – a 22-year-old son named Jack and a 16-year-old daughter named Ali as well as Marie, who is known as Missy.

Ronan and Yvonne separated in 2010 and it was five years before their divorce was finalised, while TV presenter Yvonne has gone on to date cinematographer, John Conroy, since 2012.
