A second agreed, adding: "Wow, aren't genetics extraordinary. Same voice too!!" as a third simply wrote: "Mini me??" A fourth then quipped: "No mix up at the hospital there was there Dick he's your double!"

James' post featured the chef and TV presenter riding in a motorbike sidecar, which he branded as "pretty good fun" as he travelled through picturesque northern Ireland heading towards Greyabbey.

Dick's two older children are James, 38, and Charlotte, 34, who he welcomed with his first wife, Brigit Strawbridge Howard.

His eldest, James, followed in his dad's footsteps and became a professional chef; but his talents don't stop there and he's also a professional photographer and published author. The pair also took part in their own TV show, Hungry Sailors.

Charlotte, meanwhile, also works as a photographer, which is evident from her amazing snaps on social media. But she's also a keen painter and musician.

James and Dick clearly have a strong father-son bond, and are often seen together in photos posted on social media.

The father-of-four and his first wife Brigit were married for 28 years before they decided to part ways. Now, he's happily married to his wife, Angel, with whom he shares nine-year-old son Arthur, and eight-year-old daughter Dorothy.
