The son of a famous pop star left fans swooning after revealing his chiselled look in a new steamy BBC drama.
The nepo baby might be familiar to viewers as his new role comes 14 years after his last appearance in Channel 4's Hollyoaks.
And now Jay Duffy, the son of Boyzone's Keith Duffy, looked unrecognisable as he starred in the upcoming BBC One's show The Walsh Sisters.
The actor stars as Luke, the hunky love interest of main character Rachel, who is a drug addict.
The six-part series is an adaptation from bestselling Irish author Marian Keyes' book, which follow the five Walsh sisters during various times in their lives.
It merges storylines from the different books, with Rachel's stay in rehab and sister Anna's bereavement being two of the main topics.

'People have such a history and a deep love for these characters,' Jay said while speaking about the drama show.
'So everyone has a specific idea in mind of who Luke should be, and I knew physically I wasn't, I wouldn't have been the number one choice.'
He added: 'He's described as a rock and roll punk guy with long black hair and leather pants. And I was all for the leather pants! I was ready to go.
The nepo actor also stressed the current adaptation is 'more kind of modern day', claiming that worked in 'his favour'.
Jay is the son of Irish singer Keith, 51, and his wife Lisa Smith, whom he has been happily married to since 1998.
The star's passion for the screen began after spending time with his famous dad on the set of Coronation Street, where Keith played the charming barman Ciaran McCarthy from 2002 to 2005, and then again from 2010 to 2011.
He soon landed a role on Hollyoaks where he played Declan Brady for about a year from 2011 to December 2012.
Jay proved to be following into his father's footsteps as he now boasts a wide range of roles in different TV shows including Playground, Derry Girls and Northern Lights.

Meanwhile pop star Keith recently admitted he wants the iconic 90s pop group to extend their two-night farewell into a tour.
Boyzone will play their biggest headline shows ever in June at the Emirates Stadium in London after having already sold out their initial gig and adding an extra date.
Keith, 51, will be taking a break from his spin-off act Boyzlife tour in UK - a duo with ex-Westlife singer Brian McFadden - to reunite with his former bandmates.
'It's going to be over like that (clicks fingers). So we need to make sure we do enjoy it,' he told The Sun.
