LOVE Island star Jack Keating said he had to watch the show every night before going to the villa.
The Irish boy, 23, said he was cared for by chaperone Dan during his two-week self-isolation period before the show.

Jack was one of six new boys trying to find love at the notorious Casa Amor villa.
Meanwhile, the popstar’s son Ronan Keating has revealed he was taken to a villa in the “middle of nowhere”, with three bedrooms and a swimming pool.
Jack admitted he had to watch ITV2 every night to catch up on villa life and choose his top three girls at the end.
“I had to watch Love Island and Dan and I was constantly talking about the on-screen drama,” he told OK! magazine.
“However, he stuck to the poker face every time I asked him for inside information.
“At the end of each episode, I had to say who my three best girls were, so the producers could assess what would happen if they sent me to the villa.”
Jack said he was stunned when he joined his daughters in the second villa.
“Going into the show was, and still feels, so surreal,” he continued.
“I had watched the people at the villa every night so I felt like they were celebrities.
“While the days seemed long, looking back it felt like yesterday and I would start over.”
Last year, Jack admitted he was “in the doghouse” with his famous dad Ronan after claiming the singer was “retired”.
He said his Boyzone star father, 45, tuned in to watch his passing, adding to the Daily Star: ‘He loved it and loved it and was proud of me other than the fact that I said that he had retired halfway through the show.
“He was pretty pleased with everything else I said.
“But no, he wasn’t happy at all that I said that. He said he nearly fell out of his chair when he first heard that.
“I was definitely in the niche for a little while when I first came back.”
Ronan was grilled about his son being on Love Island on The One Show which he sometimes hosts and he revealed his shock at Jack’s comment.
Speaking to hosts Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas, he said: “He dropped the line that I was retired which shocked me!
“I almost fell off my chair! What?!”
Ronan added: “I’m doing the one show next week, I’m in York tonight!
“No, I am definitely not retired! »
