Boyzones Keith Duffy out with rarely-seen lookalike son Jay, 27

Keith Duffy made an appearance with his rarely-seen lookalike son Jay on Friday, as the Boyzone star hosted his charity golf event in Dublin.

Dad-of-two Keith, 48, organises the gold tournament with his charity, The Keith Duffy Foundation, in order to raise funds for children and young adults affected by autism.

At this year's event, the singer was joined by his son Jay, 27, who is an actor, as well as fellow singer Brian McFadden, who rose to fame as a member of hit boyband Westlife.

Keith and Brian, who have been close friends for a number of years, posed for photos together on 22 September as the tournament got underway.

The pair beamed as they put their arms around each other and held their thumbs up for the camera, while 27 year old Jay got to work perfecting his golf skills.

Keith looked smart in a purple polo shirt and grey trousers while Brian cut a casual figure in a black top and shorts, paired with a matching cap, which he work back to front.

The golf event was held at St Margaret's Golf Club in Dublin and alongside the tournament, attendees also enjoyed drinks, dinner and entertainment at the venue.

It marked Keith's first golf event in five years and the singer announced earlier this month that tickets had sold out as he thanked his fans online for their love and support for his charity.

"Our first Charity Golf day in 5 years and we've completely SOLD OUT ! I can't believe the amount of love and support we've received ! Thank you to all of you who have literally bombarded us with generosity and kindness ! Anyone can make a donation on our website keithduffyfoundation.ie I'll keep you posted," he happily told his followers.

Keith has long been a supporter of autism charities, following his daughter Mia's diagnosis in 2000 when she was just 22 months old. He has continued to campaign for better support for autistic children in Ireland.

In 2015, Keith founded The Keith Duffy Foundation to support autism charities in Ireland after stepping down as patron of Irish Autism Action after ten years.

Keith shares son Jay and daughter Mia, 23, with his wife Lisa, who he wed in 1998 in Las Vegas. Jay has followed in his dad's showbiz footsteps and pursued a career as an actor, while Mia tends to stay out of the spotlight.
