Love Island star Jack Keating says family have discussed idea of becoming the next Kardashians with tv show

Jack Keating revealed his famous family have discussed the idea of becoming the next Kardashians and a Keeping Up With The Keatings fly-on-the-wall show is on the cards.

The eldest son of Irish singer Ronan and his ex-wife and model Yvonne Connolly said he is eager to continue a career on the screen after appearing on Love Island. He told the Irish Daily Mirror: “I’d love to do another reality show. I just have a taste for it now.

“And after doing Love Island I feel like I can now conquer anything pretty much. So I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds and just getting cracking on the next chapter of my life.”

Asked if that could include appearing in a reality TV show with his relatives – former Boyzone star dad Ronan, his wife Storm and his model sister Missy, the 23-year-old teased: “We will see, we will see.

“I mean, me and Missy have definitely chatted about doing something like that [Keeping up with the Keatings] so we will see what the future holds. It is definitely not something that we would ever rule out. We’d love to do something like that.

“We have all had chats around the dinner table about doing something like that and me and Missy would definitely be up for it. But he [Ronan] might be the tough one to crack, Dad, for sure.”

It comes after his Missy, 21, who has also made her TV debut this year on RTE’s Dancing With The Stars, expressed her interest in appearing in a show with her nearest and dearest. The influencer told the Irish Daily Mirror: “Absolutely, Keeping Up With The Keatings, watch this space. That would be great.”

While he failed to find love in the TV villa, Jack has no regrets about his time on the hit ITV series. And he revealed jobs have already started rolling in since his brief time as a Casa Amor bombshell last month.

But he admitted he feels lucky to have the support of family and friends to help him deal with navigating life in the spotlight. The Dubliner explained: “There’s been a few jobs that have come in already so I’m looking forward to getting going.

“But you don’t want to do too much, that is what a lot of people tell me. You want to pick well and get in with the right brands and that’s important.

“I’m very lucky in that way that I do have a great family around me whilst I’m going through this and I have a great support system so I am blessed. Because it is crazy like. Especially if you have never been through something like this before to go do something like Love Island, it is absolutely crazy.”
