The 23-year-old, originally from Dublin, now lives in London and works as a social media marketer.
When asked why he wanted to be on Love Island and why now, he replied, “I have been single for a while, probably four or five years now, and I feel that spark that I haven’t been getting on the relationship scene. It’s not like I’ve been in a relationship for an extended period of time.
“And I thought, why not?” “I hope I can make a connection with someone and see what happens.”
Jack said that his dad was his “best friend” and described himself as “very family-oriented” and “wears his heart on his sleeves a lot of times.”

“It’s fascinating because my boy Jack, my eldest son, has been hiding in Spain for the last couple of weeks, preparing himself to move into a specific house.
So, if you haven’t been on social networking in the past hour and a quarter, or two hours, you won’t know that Jack is going to Love Island tonight.
Now, I don’t want you all to leave the gig now, but wait until the end and watch it [the ITV Hub] But yeah, it’s fascinating. He’s in Casa Amor. I’ve been doing a lot of sh*ting. I’ve never been able to share any information with you. But now I can.
I don’t know what to feel. He’s going to be amazing. He’s going to be incredible, a sweetheart, and have the biggest heart in the world. I’m so proud.
