Jack is Boyzone singer turned TV-host Ronan's only son from his first marriage to wife Yvonne, along with sisters Missy and Ali.

After the news broke, Ronan took to social media to share his love and support towards the lad.

Sharing Jack's Instagram post about appearing on the ITV2 dating show, Ronan shared it to his story for his 417k followers to see.

Ronan captioned the post: "Let's go @loveisland."

He later took to his grid to share a snap of Jack edited next to a picture of him from when he was younger.

Ronan captioned the post: "Which ones Jack !!! Then and now @loveisland."

Fans couldn't believe how similar they look.

One wrote: "Twins 🤩 X."

A second said: "Jesus he’s the image of ya … good luck @jackkeating11."

"He is your double @rokeating - @loveisland is my guilty pleasure....avid watcher so will be hoping he gets into the main villa 👏🙌 x," a third chimed in.

Jack lives in London and works in social media marketing.

Ronan and Yvonne split in 2015 and the singer then had two children, Cooper and Coco, with current wife Storm.

Asked why he was taking part in the show, Jack explained: "I’ve been single for a long time, probably 4 or 5 years now.

"I’ve really been missing that spark that I haven’t been getting on the dating scene, like I’ve been dating for a long time. I just thought why not?"

Jack's the third child of a celebrity signed to the show after former England and Real Madrid striker Michael Owen's 19-year-old daughter Gemma and chef Tonia Buxton's daughter Antigoni joined the villa.
