Singer Ronan Keating covered his face as he made an appearance on his own chat show to discuss his son Jack being on Love Island. The Life is a Rollercoaster hitmaker, who is currently on tour, appeared via video link ahead of his show in York to chat with co-stars Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas.
The 45-year-old admitted that he was a 'absolute mess' over seeing Jack, 23, as one of six male bombshells sent to Casa Amor with the aim of tempting away the ladies from their couplings in the main villa in Mallorca. And Alex and Jermaine were in stitches as he appeared at first on screen hiding his face with his hands.
"Come on Ronan don't cover your face up this chat was always coming," urged Jermaine. Asked how he found out about Jack becoming an Islander Ronan said: "He's been on the shortlist for about six weeks now. We 've known he could have been going in. It was a week before the announcement and he said 'I'm flying to Spain tomorrow.'"

Ronan, who shot to fame as a member of the Irish boyband Boyzone which he joined when he was just 16, said Jack was in 'lockdown' in Spain before making his debut in the episode screened on Friday night. "It's been silent and then he appeared on the TV last night," he explained.
And he added: "I'm a mess. I'm an absolute mess. He told Alex and Jermaine that he's 'worried' about his son after noticing that he seemed quiet in Sunday night's episode.
"He was very quiet, he seemed a little bit nervous which is understandable I guess," said Ronan. "I hope he does okay. He's got such a big heart and he's a real softie. I worry about him in there with all those other guys."

Women's Aid are currently in talks with Love Island bosses after viewers expressed concern over the ‘misogynistic and controlling behaviour’ shown on screen.
Irish boy band Boyzone first burst onto the scene in 1993 and since then have gone to make their mark on pop culture, with the band made up of Keith Duffy, the late Stephen Gately, Mikey Graham, Ronan Keating and Shane Lynch. Now that the line-up are in their late 40s and have grown-up children of their own, it's time for them to pass the baton onto their offspring as they make a name for themselves. Ronan Keating’s son Jack is starring in this year’s Love Island, but that’s not the only link to the TV world as Keith Duffy’s son has had a regular part in Hollyoaks.
Jack Keating was recently unveiled as one of the six single boys heading into Love Island's Casa Amor in the hope of finding love.The 23 year old is currently residing in Love Island's second villa with the girls from the main villa, as they look to test their connection with their current partners on the show. Jack was recently seen enjoying a chat by the pool with Gemma Owen, 19, as the pair bonded over their famous fathers - former professional footballer Michael Owen and Boyzone star Ronan Keating Ronan, 45, shares Jack along with daughters Missy, 21, and Ali, 16, with his ex-wife Yvonne Connolly, who he was married to from 1998 until 2015.
ITV2 Love Island star Ronan Keating has hit out at son Jack for a comment he made on the show. Jack announced dad Ronan "has retired" earlier this week. But the Boyzone singer has refuted the claim on BBC The One Show.
ally delivered this weekend with Sunday night’s episode giving us a closer look at the Casa Amor boys. Viewers were soon introduced to Jack Keating, this season’s second contestant to have a famous parent, who couldn’t help but name-drop his dad, Ronan Keating.But it was his tattoo that viewers couldn’t stop noticing on Twitter with someone (hilariously) describing it as ‘the Irish hun mantra’.
Love Island star Gemma Owen has opened up on her relationship with famous footballer dad Michael Owen, admitting it's "love-hate" as she giggled away with Ronan Keating's son Jack.The international dressage rider, who also revealed she knew bombshell Billy and claimed he was a "player", has kept her famous family on the down low for much of this year's series so far, and it was even shared by Ikenna Ekwonna that the grand reveal happened off-screen. But with a fellow famous child entering Casa Amor, it was the perfect opportunity for Gemma and 23 year old Jack to trade stories about their lives and privileged experiences growing up. Getting to know each other during a dip in the house of love swimming pool, while 19 year old Gemma's beau Luca Bish, 24, was back in the original villa, Gemma quizzed Jack: "So your dad was in..." "He was in Boyzone," the red-headed Irish bombshell replied easily.
Boyzone star Ronan Keating is gearing up for his son Jack to enter the villa, as the family have shared that they’re gathering round the television ready to watch. Just like Gemma Owen, the eldest daughter of footballing legend Michael Owen, and Antigoni Buxton, whose mum is celebrity chef Tonia Buxton, Jack is the child of a well-known face already. Ronan, 45, debuted in 1994, alongside Keith Duffy, Michael Graham, Shane Lynch, and Stephen Gately, as the lead singer of Irish group Boyzone.
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'.
Ronan Keating has thrown his support behind his 23 year old son Jack as he entered Casa Amor on Love Island. Viewers on Friday night's episode will see the additional villa finally open and, in a twist, this year it's filled with guys, and the Island's girls will be heading in to meet them rather than the other way around. Former Boyzone star Ronan, 45, took to Instagram to repost Jack's own Love Island announcement, showing he was championing his son, writing: "Let's go".
The son of former Boyzone band member Ronan Keating is set to head into the Casa Amor villa on Love Island. Jack Keating, 23, has been announced as one of the latest singletons to go on the show which will be aired tonight, and his famous dad is said to be 'buzzing' about it. Jack is the second celebrity offspring to enter the famous villa to look for love, as he will be joining Gemma Owen, 19, the eldest daughter of footballing ace, Michael Owen.
Love Island viewers finally got the 'famous dad' bombshell moment from Gemma Owen, but it wasn't all it was hyped up to be. There was a lot of disappointment on Thursday night's episode of the show, with her supposedly big reveal as Michael Owen's daughter being barely worth mentioning - as most of the Islanders apparently already knew.
Love Island's Gemma Owen finally spoke about her famous footballing father Michael Owen on Thursday's episode after weeks of keeping his identity under wraps and sent fans into a frenzy as she did. Fans went wild when she finally made the admission as the hiding of his identity caused many grumblings on social media, despite dumped Islander Ikenna Ekwonna saying contestants were aware of her dad from the "second or third day".
