Keane was speaking on Off The Ball on Friday and revealed the reason he decided social media wasn't for him.

He said: "I done it just for a bit of fun with Covid and my youngest daughter was insistent I did it but we did it for a little bit of fun but we've moved on.

"A bit of closure on it."

Keane also said that he managed to return home to Ireland every few weeks.

He said: "I definitely get back every three weeks for a few days. There's always reasons to get back and I'm very lucky with the work I've got a bit of freedom and I can kind of duck and dive and get back to Ireland whenever I please which is quite regular."
