"Coronation Street star Keith Duffy has praised his son Jay&amp;#039;s performance on Hollyoaks, promising that he is a &amp;quot;very natural&amp;quot; actor. Jay was cast in the Channel 4 soap earlier this year and viewers will see him appear in the role of Brendan Brady&amp;#039;s (Emmett Scanlan) son Declan from the beginning of next month. Speaking on today&amp;#039;s edition of Lorraine about the 15-year-old&amp;#039;s success, Keith commented: &amp;quot;I know he&amp;#039;s very eager to do well. I&amp;#039;d love to be able to show him any areas that he might be going wrong in. I&amp;#039;ve been looking for those areas, and to be honest I haven&amp;#039;t been able to find any!  &amp;quot;Anything he&amp;#039;s done, he&amp;#039;s done very, very well. He&amp;#039;s very natural and he doesn&amp;#039;t need my help at all.&amp;quot; Jay, who also appeared on the morning programme, confirmed that he has been seeking advice from his father during the filming process. &amp;quot;If there was ever a scene that I wasn&amp;#039;t so sure about - the emotions going on or whatever, I&amp;#039;d always ask him - because obviously he&amp;#039;d be a lot more educated on it than me,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s always great to have him there. He lets me do my own thing, though, so it&amp;#039;s great.&amp;quot; Meanwhile, Keith also discussed his forthcoming return to Coronation Street as Ciaran McCarthy - explaining that his latest Weatherfield stint will be shorter than expected. &amp;quot;This return to Corrie is not going to be as long as I would have hoped, because I&amp;#039;m kind of needed in Dublin this year,&amp;quot; he said.  &amp;quot;Jay has a big exam year, and my little girl Mia, who has autism, it&amp;#039;s her last year in [primary] school and the transition to secondary school is going to be a lot of work for everybody. I&amp;#039;m kind of needed there to try and help make that happen.&amp;quot; Keith returns to filming at Coronation Street in September.
