Ronan Keating shares sweet reaction to son Jack Keating's debut on ITV Love Island as a Casa Amor bombshell

The Love Island contestants are set to face their biggest relationship test yet as Casa Amor returns. After Friday night's episode saw Antigoni Buxton and Charlie Radnedge dumped from villa, the remaining girls were then whisked off on a 'girls night out'.

But as the six girls including Gemma Owen, Paige Thorne and Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu each said goodbye to their partners, fans of the ITV show knew that all wasn't what it seemed. The female Islanders were instead taken to Casa Amor where they will spend several days getting to know six new boys.

Amongst the line-up of men entering Casa Amor is Jack Keating, who is yet another contestant with a celebrity parent as his dad is Ronan Keating. Former Liverpool and Manchester United striker Michael Owen's daughter Gemma is also in the villa, and ex-Islander Antigoni's mum is celebrity chef Tonia Buxton.

Since viewers saw Jack briefly enter the brand new villa on Friday night, The One Show presenter has been full of praise for his 23-year-old son.

The Irish lad will be hoping to turn the head of one of the girls to earn his place in the main villa. His proud dad Ronan, who is best known for being in Irish pop band Boyzone, shared a picture of Jack on Love Island and wrote: "Let's go."

Ronan also shared a video on his Instagram page of him announcing the news of his son's TV debut whilst on his UK tour, where he told his fans: "It's very very excited because my eldest boy has been hiding away in Spain for the last couple of weeks.

"I'm sh*****g myself but I'm very excited for him, he's going to be amazing, he's got the biggest heart in the world."

Prior to his son Jack's appearance on the hit dating show, there was speculation that Ronan's daughter Missy would be entering the villa.

The TV presenter appeared on Good Morning Britain back in May to chat about his upcoming tour, but talk soon turned to rumours that his 21-year-old daughter could be heading to Majorca for the show.

Neither confirming or denying, Ronan nervously replied: "I haven't heard anything but you know you never know, these kids are busy, all my kids are busy doing different things." He then insited: "I haven't heard anything myself at the moment," while appearing taken aback by the question.
