Ronan Keating's son Jack has disclosed that the Boyzone star gave him a single directive for his return to Love Island All Stars: 'no sex on TV'. The 26-year-old radio presenter first appeared on the show in 2022 as a Casa Amor boy but lasted only five days.
Jack, who is now a father to two-year-old Maya, said his father was far more relaxed this time around. 'He was very happy,' Jack told The Mirror. 'He's more excited now than he was the last time. I think he was sh***ing himself a bit the first time because I had no experience.' Jack added that Ronan, who lives abroad, only learned of his son's involvement after it was confirmed.
The dynamic with his mother, Ronan's first wife Yvonne Connolly, has shifted. 'It's kind of flipped. My mom was so excited for me the first time and my dad wasn't, whereas this time my mum is like, 'Are you sure? You've got a good thing going back home. Are you sure you want to put yourself back in the hot seat again?'' Jack said.
As for adhering to his father's rule, Jack was noncommittal. 'I'll see,' he grinned. 'I'll try everything once. I'm not ruling everything else... We'll see what situations arise.' He emphasised that his daughter will influence his approach, seeking a 'family-orientated' partner who is comfortable with his single-father status.
Love Island: All Stars begins on Monday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
