Jack is one of six boys who will be seen on Friday night’s show entering the Casa Amor villa.

Jack added that he is ready to break up existing Love Island couples using “some good conversation” and “a bit of Irish charm”.
He is the second celebrity child in this year’s series, with 19-year-old Gemma Owen entering the cottage to the horror of her 42-year-old ex-footballer father Michael Owen.
The other Casa Amor arrivals hoping to tempt the Love Island women away from their current partners are models Josh Samuel Le Grove and Samuel Agbiji, both 22, and 25-year-old account manager Deji Adeniyi.

They are also joined by laborer George Tasker and roofing company owner Billy Brown, both 23 years old.
The identity of the newest boys was announced by ITV ahead of Friday’s installment of Love Island, which will reportedly see the female cast head to Casa Amor for the first time in three years.
The islanders, including Gemma, Paige Thorne, 24, Ekin-Su Küljuloglu, 27, and India Pollack, 23, were told they were going for cocktails but were instead taken to the rival villa where they would be greeted by the new array of male competitors.
Causing trouble: Also in the lineup causing trouble is 25-year-old Deji Adeniyi. Deji hopes it will bring “an energy that makes people realize that love is real”

Incoming! Friday night’s Love Island sees the return of the much-anticipated Casa Amor – where the islanders’ relationships will be seriously tested
A source told MailOnline Casa Amor will be the ‘girls’ dream holiday’ this series, adding: ‘This year it’s all about the girls – they’ve kept the boys on their toes and will continue to do so as they leave the main villa and head to Casa Amor.
“The new arrivals are ready to grab the spotlight and for the first time in three years it will be the female stars of the show who are set to re-enter the villa with a potentially new man on hand.”
“It’s all to play for and relationships like Gemma and Luca’s, as well as Jacques and Paige’s, will be well and truly put to the test.”
Love Island airs at 9pm weekdays and Sundays on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the next morning on BritBox.
