“And I just thought why not? Hopefully I will contact someone and see what happens.
The son of the famous singer seems to love to travel, often posting a series of photos from around the globe on his Instagram.
Jack has also shown off his athletic side on social media, flaunting his muscular physique in action shots while playing rugby.
Jack said he hopes to bring “a bit of energy” to the villa, saying he’s “quite a positive, funny guy”.
He cheekily added: “I think a bit of good conversation and a bit of Irish charm.”
The new competitor added that he won’t be afraid to step on toes, saying: “I’m very competitive, for sure.
“I play rugby at home in Dublin and London so I definitely have that competitive edge.
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”
“I might have to split a couple. It won’t be the most ideal thing, but I have to do what’s best for me.
The When You Say Nothing At All singer’s son added: ‘I’m definitely loyal, obviously I’m loyal to the girl I’m with.
“I have never cheated on anyone. I can be very compassionate, I’m not afraid to tell a girl how I feel – I wear my heart on my sleeve a lot of the time.
Jack thinks he’s still single because he just hasn’t “met the right girl.” “That’s what I keep telling myself,” he joked.
Also in the troubled lineup is 25-year-old Deji Adeniyi.
The accountancy manager from Bedford claimed he wanted to take part in the show because “my sex life is amazing but my love life is terrible”.

He continued, “I’m the master of failed speaking stages. My love life wasn’t going the right way so one night I decided to apply for Love Island and now here I am!’
Deji hopes it will bring “an energy that makes people realize that love is real.”
He added: “I’m really going to wear my heart on my sleeve through this. Many people take the power of love for granted and I hope that people are more open to their sensitive side. I was a person who was really closed off about it.
Referring to his more unconventional flirting methods, Deji claims that the way to get a girl to like you is “by ignoring her”.

According to the new Love Islander: “You give them 100% and girls realize they have you and then they start to lose interest.”
Also to cause trouble in the cottage is Josh Samuel Le Grove, a 22-year-old model from Essex.
Josh hopes to perhaps “bring a bit of trouble” to the cottage, along with “lots of energy” and “good conversation”.
He said: “I’ve always been single. If you’re going to find someone, it’s going to be in a place where everyone is single and looking for the same thing.”
Incoming! Friday night’s Love Island sees the return of the much-anticipated Casa Amor – where the islanders’ relationships will be seriously tested
The model said he is “competitive” and will “definitely step on someone’s toes” but won’t “take a big risk if I don’t feel 100 percent about it.”
Speaking about his ideal mate, Josh said: “If I were to settle down with someone it would be serious – I would give them 100 per cent.
“Personality-wise, I’m looking for someone who can stand up for himself and hold his own. Laughable, funny and not taking itself too seriously.’
However, his perfect partner must have good dental hygiene, as Josh is a girl who doesn’t brush her tongue – or takes herself too seriously.
Elsewhere, George Tasker, a 23-year-old laborer from the Cotswolds, is ready to find a well-behaved girl to settle down with.

Speaking about what turns him off, the man said: “To me it has to be bad manners. Everyone should have good manners. And being materialistic or self-obsessed.
He added: “I’ve been single for three years. I was in a relationship with a girl from Australia – my only friend.
“It was a long-distance relationship, 10,000 miles apart for almost three years. I’m much more mature now and I know what I want in a relationship.’
George said that although he was “competitive” and would “step on toes”, he really “puts other people first”.
The Cotswolds native continued: “I learned a lot from my last relationship. I feel like a very giving person.
“I’m romantic and caring – I really wear my heart on my sleeve. I put other people first, whether it’s my girlfriend, friends or family.
“I’m someone who will always make sure she’s okay. I would make her feel special.
Here it is! Love Island has shared a sneak peek at the secret Casa Amor villa, which comes complete with an infinity pool, cozy nooks for islanders to snuggle up in and its own fire pit for that all-important re-connection
