The son of a famous pop star has fans swooning after revealing his chiseled looks in a sensational new BBC series.
Baby Nepo may look familiar to viewers as he arrives in his new role 14 years after his last appearance in Channel 4’s Hollyoaks.
And now Jay Duffy, son of Boyzone’s Keith Duffy, looked unrecognizable as he starred in upcoming BBC One show The Walsh Sisters.
The actor plays Luke, the charming love interest of main character Rachel, who is a drug addict.
The six-part series is an adaptation of best-selling Irish author Marian Keyes’ book, which follows the five Walsh sisters at various times in their lives.
It combines stories from different books, with Rachel’s stay in rehab and the death of her sister Anna being two of the main plots.

‘People have such a history and a deep love for these characters,’ Jay said when talking about the series.
‘So everyone has a certain idea of who Luke should be and I knew that physically I wasn’t, I wouldn’t be the number one choice.’
He added: ‘He is described as a rock and roll punk guy with long black hair and leather trousers. And I was all for leather pants! I was ready to go.
The Nepo actor also emphasized that the current adaptation is a ‘more modern style’ and claimed that this works ‘in his favour’.
Jay is the son of 51-year-old Irish singer Keith and his wife Lisa Smith, who have been happily married since 1998.
The star’s obsession with the screen began after spending time with his famous father on the set of Coronation Street, where Keith played charming barman Ciaran McCarthy from 2002 to 2005 and then from 2010 to 2011.
He soon landed a role in Hollyoaks, where he played Declan Brady for nearly a year from 2011 to December 2012.
Jay has proven that he is following in his father’s footsteps as he now has a wide range of roles in different TV shows such as Playground, Derry Girls and Northern Lights.
