Love Island star sparks rumours they’re returning after being seen near South Africa villa

ONE of the stars of the summer series of Love Island sparked rumours he could be able to burst back into the villa.

Jack Keating, one of the Casa Amor bombshells from the previous run, told fans he’d landed in Cape Town.

The South African city – or more specifically the outpost of Franschhoek – is where Love Island is being filmed.

Jack – who is singer and One Show host Ronan Keating‘s son – shared a video showing some of its sights.

The Dublin lad appeared as Casa Amor alongside the likes of Billy Brown last series.

Unlike Billy he didn’t get a pass back to the main villa and, having failed to couple up, was sent home after just five days.

Love Island does have a tradition of bringing back former stars after Adam Collards reappearance last year.

However, in reality there are unlikely to be any more arrivals in this series of Love Island.

It was confirmed this week by host Maya Jama that ITV are closing the doors to the villa on Monday 13 March.

A source said: “There was speculation that the current series might only run for six weeks as that was the format for the first Winter Love Island outing in 2020. 

“By the same token, there was talk last year that the summer series could be extended as ratings were so impressive thanks to the likes of Ekin-Su and Davide.

“But bosses plan to stick to their usual eight week schedule and crown their winners on March 13th.”

And with four stars sent packing on last night’s show, there are likely to be fewer people in the villa in coming days rather than more.
