Jack Keating has confirmed that he is back on dating apps after failing to find someone in the Love Island villa.
The 23-year-old has signed up for Raya which is also known as the celebrity Tinder. But his application hasn’t been accepted yet. Ronan Keating's son told the Irish Mirror: "I’m definitely still single and ready to mingle. I’m keeping my options open for sure.
“Actually my (Raya) application is still in the waiting stage. So Raya if you see this, please, come on."
The Casa Amor star hinted that his Instagram DMs are keeping him busy in the meantime. He said: “Yeah, there have been a couple of DMs, there’s been a few, that's all I could say.”
But what is the new dating app that Jack made reference to? And how do you get access to the exclusive platform?

What is Raya?
Raya is a private, membership based community for people all over the world to connect. According to The New York Times, Raya has an 8% acceptance rate.
Raya applications are a multi-step process, according to the app’s website. The application is then viewed by “hundreds of anonymous committee members.”
You will also need a referral from someone already on the app. Then, you wait. Unlike Tinder, your potential Raya matches can be from anywhere in the world. You can’t filter finding the love of your life by location — just age and gender.
One of the main rules of Raya is that you cannot screenshot profiles on the app. According to Joanne McNally, who met her partner on it, she was banned after screen grabbing when using it.
