"Keith Duffy&amp;#039;s son Jay has landed a guest role on Hollyoaks, it has been confirmed. The 15-year-old was recently cast by bosses at the Channel 4 soap and will begin filming at the show&amp;#039;s base in Liverpool later this month. Coronation Street star Keith announced the news during an appearance on RT\u00C9&amp;#039;s The Late Late Show last night, explaining: &amp;quot;Nobody knows yet, but Jay has been auditioning in the UK for the past few weeks and he found out yesterday that he&amp;#039;s going to be one of the new stars in Hollyoaks!&amp;quot; Keith added that Jay secured the role after an acting agent watched him lead the cast of Peter Pan in a school play. &amp;quot;I have to say, this is nothing to do with me being in the business at all - an agent came to see him when he was doing Peter Pan,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;They were looking for an Irish guy in Hollyoaks. They rang Jay up, he went to London, did an audition, did a screen test, they called him back and they gave him the job.&amp;quot; Writing on Twitter after the chatshow appearance, he added: &amp;quot;Jay Duffy starts in Hollyoaks in a couple of weeks! Very proud of him!&amp;quot; A Hollyoaks spokesperson confirmed Jay&amp;#039;s casting to DS this afternoon but said it was too early to reveal the role he will be playing. However, fans are already speculating that he will appear as a son of Brendan Brady, played by fellow Dubliner Emmett Scanlan. Viewers have already been introduced to Brendan&amp;#039;s estranged wife Eileen but haven&amp;#039;t yet seen his children. Jay&amp;#039;s role is a guest part but he will appear on screen for a substantial number of episodes later this year. Meanwhile, Keith is currently on a break from Coronation Street but will return to filming at the Weatherfield soap in September. &amp;gt; Read our Hollyoaks spoilers and news "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
