Love Island viewers all say the same thing after Jack Keating's 'hysterical' chat with Gemma Owen

Love Island viewers were all left saying the same thing after Sunday night’s show as Jack Keating settled into Casa Amor.

Having been separated from their current partners in the main villa, the girls began getting to know the new boys to test if their current couple was strong enough to withstand a few days apart.

However, fans of the show were focused on one new arrival, Jack Keating, son of Boyzone frontman Ronan Keating.

Before entering the villa, Yvonne Keating said her son had his sights set on Gemma Owen, daughter of footballer Michael Owen. Viewers were in hysterics after the two bonded over their famous connections, with Jack wasting little time name-dropping his dad’s celebrity status.

Sitting by the pool, he told Gemma that his dad was a singer before revealing that he is currently touring around the UK.

He also tried to connect with the 19-year-old by mentioning that his mother and little sister are avid show jumpers as he knew Gemma herself is an international dressage rider.

Gemma, who is currently coupled up with fishmonger Luca, seemed impressed with Jack’s family connections and admitted that she liked that he seemed to be very family orientated.

Viewers flocked to Twitter to have their say on the potential couple.

One said: “I really want Gemma to bring Jack back and have Luca breakdown cuz he can’t compete with this “famous dads” union It would just be an extra sting to burst his fake bubble. But I’d be fine w/her bringing any of the Casa Amor guys back. I just need her to do it!”

A second said: “The way we all know Gemma’s lil “It was nice to talk about family with Jack” was code for ‘thank god another high born’”.

While others commented on how quickly Jack got the vital name drop in.

They said: “Not Jack thinking he’s going to win over Gemma with: ‘my daddy is also famous and my sister rides ponies too’.”

A second said: “It makes me appreciate how Gemma just doesn’t really mention her dad, now that we got this Jack dude. Istg he won’t shut up about his dad like i’m telling u he ain’t pulling no one”.

While a third commented: “Howling that Gemma began to feel interested in Jack the moment he said his dad was famous too.”
