Television presenter Eamonn Holmes has taken to social media to share a rare image of his lookalike son.
The 61-year-old broadcaster logged into his official Instagram account on Sunday morning to post an adorable throwback snap of him and Declan, who was ten at the time.
Eamonn’s social media appearance showed the doting dad Eamonn with his arms around his son, who bears a striking resemblance to the This Morning star.
The pair grinned at the camera for the family snap as a proud Declan held up a trophy and a certificate.
Eamonn added a heartfelt caption to the photo which began: “It used to seem quite a chore getting my kids to sporting events. Now I so miss it.”

He went on: “The year was 1999 and Declan has just been crowned Penalty King… I swear it was like watching Cantona. Well, close” alongside a laughing face emoji.
Unsurprisingly, Eamonn’s latest social media update caught the attention of his 733,000 followers, with some rushing to the comment section to point out the similarity between the father and son.
One fan gushed: “Lovely picture of you both.”

Another added: “The image of his daddy.”
A third person posted: “Beautiful photo. Beautiful smiles.”
While a fourth social media user wrote: “Proud daddy moment.”
Eamonn announced earlier this year that Declan, now 32, and his wife Jenny are expecting a baby, which will be a first grandchild for Eamonn.
He and his wife and co-star Ruth Langsford share son Jack, who is 19, and Eamonn also has three children from his first marriage: Declan, Rebecca, 30, and Niall, 28.
The father-of-four has clearly been in a nostalgic mood recently as he shared another photo from his photo album on the social media site on Tuesday.
Eamonn posted a picture from the early 1980s which showed him wearing a suit and smiling for the camera, flanked by his little brother Conor and his goddaughter Noeleen in her Holy Communion dress.
In the caption, Eamonn penned: “The things u find stuck to the bottom of a drawer.
