Jack Keating set for career change as Boyzone star's son joins comedy show

Jack Keating, the son of Boyzone's Ronan Keating, is set for a career change after landing a new comedy show role.

The 23-year-old, who had a short stint in last year's summer Love Island, will feature in a Stand Up Sketch Show, in what will be his first foray into the world of acting and comedy.

The red-headed son of super famous Ronan said he was nervous at first but is now enjoying the change of career, The Sun reported.

He will be working alongside both English comedian Seann Walsh, who finished in fifth place in last year's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! and Joel Dommett, who also featured in the reality show as well as Impractical Jokers UK.

Jack is Ronan's only son from his first marriage to Yvonne, while he has two sisters, Missy and Ali.

The Love Island actor has two other step siblings after his dad married Sharyn Storm Keating, after meeting her on the Australian X Factor.

Ronan expressed his excitement when his son entered the Love Island villa last year, as part of the Casa Amor section of the show. At the time he told the public that he would be watching his son closely.

While on screen, Jack told those in the villa that he was very close with his famous dad.

Jack was unable to find love and exited the villa shortly thereafter. He was previously working in social media marketing but is now excited to step into the world of acting.

The Stand Up Sketch Show is said to be an ITV production.
