RONAN Keating has broken his silence on his Love Island star son Jack's surprise baby.
The former Boyzone singer, 46, has addressed his reality star son's baby news on The One Show.
As Monday's show opened, Ronan's co-presenter Jermaine Jenas started the conversation by saying: "Well said grandad."
Keating replied by telling him and the viewers: "Yes I am. My son had a gorgeous baby."
Jermaine continued: "You prefer to be called something else don't you?" before Ronan said he prefers "Pops".

Jack, 23, shocked fans by sharing his baby news just months after leaving the Love Island villa.
Last week Jack's baby mum was revealed to be his ex-girlfriend, artist Keely Iqbal.
The baby is thought to have been conceived one month before he entered Casa Amor and failed to find love on the ITV2 show.
Now, despite not being together, Jack has confirmed to The Sun that he and his daughter's mother are "looking forward to co-parenting".
He said in an exclusive statement: "I am delighted to announce the birth of my little girl.
"Her mother and I have decided to keep her identity private for now and we ask everyone to please respect our privacy at this time.
"My daughter's mother and I are not together, however we look forward to co-parenting and giving our little girl the best support system that she needs.
"This is an exciting new chapter for me and my family and I am completely besotted already.
"I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a father and give my daughter the most amazing life."
