The dad-of-four has clearly been in a nostalgic mood lately, as he shared another photo from his past on the social media site on Tuesday.

Eamonn posted a picture from the early eighties 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, he sweetly wrote: "The things u find stuck to the bottom of a drawer. My cousin and Godchild Noeleen and my Baby brother Conor now all grown up and the best example of a loving Father that I have ever seen."
