Love Island star Jack Keating isn’t the only child in his family in the limelight.
21-year-old Missy Keating currently has more followers than her brother Jack who is the latest bombshell to enter the Casa Amor villa. She was even the favourite to go into the villa this summer - but her brother beat her to it.

Missy Keating’s family
The Instagram influencer is the middle child of pop icon Ronan Keating and model Yvonne Connolly. Her parents married in 1998 and had three kids together. Missy, whose real name is Marie, was born on February 18, 2001.
Her parents eventually separated in 2011, after Ronan had an affair with a dancer. Ronan has since remarried Australian TV producer Storm Uechtritz, and they have two kids together, Cooper and Coco.
How is Missy Keating famous?
The model, singer and social media star has over 49,900 Instagram followers. She keeps them up to date with regular trips to picturesque holiday destinations, the fun she has in bars and restaurants, outfit pictures and selfies.
Missy is signed to 1st Option model agency in Dublin. She also does sponsored Instagram posts for brands like Pretty Little Thing
She also has some acting credits under her belt as she featured in Dark Touch, Independent film The Sea and short film The Library and she even took part in The Voice UK back in 2019 but was sent home in the first round.
Missy was on RTE’s Dancing With The Stars earlier this year with pro-partner Ervinas Merfeldas. She told RSVP Live: “I had the most amazing time on the show and what a journey it has been.
"I put my heart and soul into every single dance. I had the most amazing partner and I would love for it to go forever and ever.”
Favourite to go on Love Island
It wasn’t actually Jack who was favourite to go into the villa. Missy was actually the front-runner to enter the Love Island villa this summer - with the odds of 6/1 in Ladbrokes.
Nicola McGeady of Ladbrokes said: “With summer fast approaching, speculation is mounting over who might be entering the 2022 Love Island villa.
“So far, Missy Keating is the favourite, but only time will tell if Missy, and indeed any other Irish celebs will be headed for a summer of sunshine and romance!”
Missy's life in London
Missy followed in Jacks footsteps and splits her time between London and Dublin. She moved to the UK to continue building on her already successful career in the public eye after being eliminated from Dancing With The Stars.
She told RSVP Live: "I am moving back to London and I am getting an apartment with my best friend. We are going to take London by storm. I am uber confident right now."
