Love Island star Molly Marsh ‘shared flirty messages with Ronan Keating’s son Jack before signing up for ITV dating competition’
New Love Island star Molly Marsh reportedly shared a series of flirty messages with Ronan Keating’s son Jack before signing up for the ITV dating competition.
The 21-year-old West End performer from Doncaster joins the cast of the ITV2 summer series 2023, which kicks off Monday evening.
But before signing up for the show, the influencer reportedly shared “flirty” messages with former Love Island Casa Amor bombshell Jack.
They are said to have had a “spark” after exchanging a string of messages following his Love Island performance last summer.
A source told The sun: “Molly and Jack were texting and there was a real spark when it first started, it was flirty banter.

“They knew each other through her influencer work and he seemed really excited.
“However, things fizzled out before they actually met and there was less interest on Molly’s part to be honest, but he still loves all of her photos online.”
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Jack and ITV for comment.
Jack recently became a father for the first time after shocking fans with his surprise baby news in March.
He shares his daughter with his ex, artist Keely Iqbal, with whom he co-parents, and he confirmed earlier this month that his daughter’s name is Maya Ann Keating.
When his daughter was born, Jack had appeared on Love Island eight months earlier, meaning his daughter was likely conceived before his appearance on the show.
Jack hasn’t spoken publicly about a relationship since leaving the Love Island villa last summer, but his daughter’s mother turned out to be artist Keely earlier this year.
In February, Jack insisted he was single, telling The Independent: ‘I’m still single and ready to mingle.
‘I’m on Hinge [the dating app], but I don’t take it too seriously. I dive in now and then and I enjoy being single.’
His reported flirty messages with Molly come just days before her Love Island villa debut on Monday.
Molly is a West End artist and social media creator, as well as the daughter of Coronation Street actress Janet Marsh.
She currently has 26,000 followers on Instagram under the name @mollygracemarsh.
