Jack Keating addresses Coco Lodge romance rumours after cosy wrap party display

Jack Keating has denied he is embarking on a romance with Coco Lodge after they were spotted looking extra cozy at the recent Love Island wrap party.

The 23-year-old Irishman – who is also the son of 45-year-old pop star Ronan Keating – was briefly a contestant on the ITV2 reality romance show during the Casa Amor week.

However, he was booted from the show after failing to turn the heads of any main villa members.

This week, the cast of Love Island reunited to party following the end of the series earlier this week – which saw Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti crowned winners.

But fans hoped the young man had found better luck outside of the villa as snaps from a part showed him looking very close to 27-year-old Coco – but it seems this is not the case.

Speaking exclusively to the Mirror at the WHSKY Label launch party, Jack revealed: "Nothing's going on, just a bit of friendly banter. We're just friends. I only got to meet her for the first time on Monday [when the wrap party took place] but she's a lovely girl. So we'll see, we'll see."

Asked if anyone from the show had caught his eye, Jack said: "All the Casa girls that I didn't meet before are gorgeous – it was really nice to get to meet them as well.

"I'm really close with Mollie and Jazmine.

"We've got a little group chat with me and all the lads so it was nice to meet everybody properly, too."

Jack lasted just five days in the villa before he was ditched from Casa Amor, but following his exit, he said he had no regrets about being on the series.

In his exit chat, Jack said: “It’s bittersweet to be honest. I had a great time there - I met some great guys and it was nice getting to know the girls. It just went up a bit too fast. As we were getting into it, it wrapped up. But I had a really great time, a great couple of days so no complaints!”

While he may have been looking close to Coco recently, there were two other ladies he was attracted to during this time on the show.

First there was Paige, who Jack described “gorgeous”.

He gushed: “Getting to know her was amazing. She was one of the nicest girls I’ve ever chatted to. She was so easy to talk to and I felt like I could talk to her about anything.”

He also admitted he was attracted to Tasha.

He explained: “When I first got in there I started talking to Tasha and we shared a bed the first night - it was nice to get to know her but in the end I didn’t feel like there was a spark there.”
