Keith Peter Thomas Francis John Duffy (born October 1, 1974 in Dublin) was a member of the boy band Boyzone.
Duffy's profile was raised by his appearance on the first series of Celebrity Big Brother in 2001; he finished 3rd out of 6. He branched out from the mime he specialized in during his time in Boyzone to more serious acting, most notably on the ITV soap opera Coronation Street as the character Ciaran McCarthy. He also starred in a television advertisement for condoms, and as presenter of The Box on Irish television channel TV3. Recently, Duffy appeared in the title role of The Wizard of Oz, staged at the Pavilion Theatre in Weymouth, Dorset.
He married Lisa Smith on June 1998 in Las Vegas, and they have two children, Jordan (born April 22, 1996) and Mia (born March 11, 2000), the latter of whom suffers from autism, which has led Duffy to become involved in raising awareness of the condition.
