He also reshared wife Storm’s Instagram story, which showed the family preparing to watch Jack on the series.

Jack’s mum Yvonne Vonnolly expressed her excitement over Jack’s arrival in the villa, writing: “Love Island has been providing the entertainment and bringing the drama this season.

“Just when I thought I can’t take anymore excitement my son Jack Keating is heading in to Casa Amor tonight. (It was a hard secret to keep!!)”
