Love Island All Stars viewers were left squirming in their seats during Thursday night's episode as Jack Keating made an awkward attempt to woo Whitney Adebayo. The 26-year-old son of pop star Ronan Keating repeatedly begged a hesitant Whitney, 28, for a kiss on the day beds, leading to a brief peck on the lips. Whitney admitted she didn't want to engage in a full smooch because bombshell arrival Konnor Ewudsi was watching nearby.
Fans React with Cringe on Social Media
The uncomfortable scenes sparked a wave of criticism from fans on social media platform X, who labelled Jack's advances as painfully cringeworthy. Viewers expressed their dismay at his lack of romantic finesse, with many noting his singular focus on physical affection over meaningful conversation.
Viewer Comments Highlight the Awkwardness
Social media was flooded with reactions:
- 'All Jack wants to do is kiss'
- 'Can Jack stop asking for kisses it's so cringe'
- 'Sorry Jack has Zero game. Can't flirt, Everything is I would love a kiss'
- 'The only thing that comes out from Jack's mouth when he speaks to Whitney "I want to kiss you... I would love a kiss". He needs to have more personality'
- 'Guys all these people think about is kissing and I'm starting to get concerned, where are the words?'
This romantic pursuit comes despite initial obstacles in their connection. When the show launched, Whitney admitted she would never date anyone with children, and Jack has a three-year-old daughter called Maya. However, Whitney later reversed her decision, with the pair sharing a kiss on the terrace before Konnor's arrival as a bombshell led to him recoupling with Whitney, taking her away from Jack.
Millie Court's Dramatic Power Move
Elsewhere in the villa, a completely different narrative unfolded as Millie Court executed what fans are calling a 'savage' dumping of Charlie Frederick. After viewers voted Millie and Scott van-der-Sluis as the favourite girl and boy, they were tasked with sending two islanders home.
The Brutal Breakup Moment
Millie, who had been romantically involved with Charlie since day one, decided to dump him after growing fed up with his 'red flags' and sneaky behaviour. This followed days of viewers declaring Charlie 'needs to be humbled' after he secretly kissed Jess Harding behind Millie's back during Tuesday's episode.
As the favourite girl, Millie had to choose between Konnor Ewudzi, Sean Stone, and Charlie. She admitted she was 'going with her heart' after noticing multiple concerning behaviours from Charlie over recent days.
Social Media Erupts in Praise for Millie
Fans branded the dumping 'TV gold' and celebrated Millie's decisive action on social media:
- 'Put some respect on Millie !!! ABSOLUTE SAVAGE. #LoveIslandAllStars'
- 'Millie standing up & making the nation proud by sending charlie home, THAT'S MY GIRL'
- 'I genuinely didn’t think Millie had that in her omds'
- 'Millie gagged everyone and I’m obsessed!'
- 'I take back everything I ever thought about Millie. She's a WOMAN!! I can't believe she's sending Charlie packing. This is the kind of karma I dream about. SHE ATE!!!'
- 'Millie just pulled a power move dumping the guy who did her wrong you won’t be missed Charlie x'
Meanwhile, Scott's decision saw AJ Bunker packing her bags as he chose to save Whitney Adebayo and Jess Harding. This dramatic episode continues Jack Keating's Love Island journey - he first appeared on the eighth series in 2022 but lasted just five days before being dumped from the show, now returning for what he called his 'revenge tour' on All Stars.
