Jack Keating opens up on moment he thought radio career was 'over'
Jack Keating has opened up on the moment he thought his radio career was 'over' as a result of an on air slip-up.
The former Love Island star and son of singer Ronan Keating has been working on Irish radio station Spin 1038 since summer 2024.
With Ronan having his own radio show on Magic FM, Jack has followed in his footsteps and has even appeared on Magic FM alongside his singer Dad. Jack Keating has opened up on the moment he thought his radio career was 'over' as a result of an on air slip-up. Pic: Brian McEvoy
Appearing on the Six O'Clock Show during the week, presenter Katja Mia asked Jack how he had evolved within Spin 1038 since joining the team around a year ago.
'Has there been any moments, little mishap moments that have happened along the way?' the presenter asked with Jack noting he's gotten 'pretty good media training.'
He said: 'No, I'm actually, like, my media training has actually been pretty good, to be fair. I haven't had any slip ups.'
While he hasn't made any blunders on his own show, the same can't be said for slip ups he's made on other people's shows with Jack admitting he once 'dropped an f-bomb' when appearing on Magic FM.
'I remember I went on my Dad's radio show in London a couple of years ago and dropped an f-bomb,' he confessed.
'Oh, not coming back on Magic FM,' co-presenter Brian Dowling remarked. Appearing on the Six O'Clock Show during the week, presenter Katja Mia asked Jack how he had evolved within Spin 1038 since joining the team around a year ago. Pic: Six O'Clock Show/ Instagram
'Oh, it was literally, it was like headphones off; mic pulled straight away,' Jack detailed.
'His co-host was like, 'I'm so sorry for what you've just heard. We apologise to all listeners.' I was like, right that's my — well, what I thought that was my radio career, over already!'
Jack has been presenting on Spin 1038 since last summer, over the Christmas period landing a prime time gig co-hosting The Mack and Jack Show over the Christmas period.
Now the father-of-one can be caught from midnight Mondays until 3am Tuesday mornings.
