Ronan Keating was stunned by a remark his son made about him on “Love Island.” In an episode, Jack Keating chatted it up with contestant Gemma Owen, who asked him about his father, per The Sun. Jack told her, “He’s a singer.” When Owen asked, “A well-known singer?” Jack replied, “Yeah, you know Ronan Keating?” Nope, Owen hadn’t heard of Ronan. Jack shared that his famous dad was “retired,” a comment that Ronan later refuted.
On “The One Show,| Ronan explained, “He did drop the line that I was retired, that I was shocked about. I nearly fell off my chair!” He further clarified, “What? I’m doing ‘The One Show’ next week, I’m in York tonight! No, I’m definitely not retired.” But Ronan wasn’t holding grudges, as he shared his wishes for Jack’s success on “Love Island,” saying, “He’s my boy and I just want to protect him.”
Following his “Love Island” exit, Jack took to Instagram Live to describe his experience on the dating show. He shared that he had a feeling he’d be sent home early on. He added, “It’s hard because you kind of feel like you’ve let yourself down as well because you want to go in there to see how far you can go.” In spite of his disappointment, Jack was grateful for the opportunity and would even give it a second shot.
