Missy Keating reunites with 'best friend' dad Ronan in sweet Father's Day moment

Missy Keating reunited with her "best friend" dad Boyzone star Ronan Keating for Father's Day, after flying back from Australia.

The former Dancing With The Stars contestant returned from Oz on Sunday, reuniting with her dad and family after several months of living away from home.

The 22-year-old, who moved Down Under in November to pursue her acting career, said she felt "whole again" after missing her family and her rock, Ronan, who she labelled as "my greatest role model and best friend."

Missy and Ronan posed together for a picture which was shared on Instagram on Father's Day, Ronan in a blue T-shirt and his daughter in a colourful dress at their home.

She said: "Made it home just in time for your special day @rokeating Happy Father's Day to my heart and soul, my greatest role model and best friend.

"Travelling the last 9 months has been absolutely incredible and I am very grateful for all my adventures. However I was missing my family... my rock. I feel whole again today. Thank you for everything dad.... todays for you."

Storm Keating, Ronan's wife, described the visit of Missy from the 41-year-old's native Australia as "so so special." Ronan too posted a crying emoji to his daughter's emotional post.

Fans rowed in with support for the father and daughter pair, who were both grinning in the photograph.

One said: "How wonderful your children are, you guys have brought them up so naturally throughout all the stardom. It’s so special."

While another wrote: "Nothing like the bond between fathers and daughters, glad you made it home and happy Father’s Day."

A final commenter said: "Gorgeous pic of you and your lovely kind generous dad @rokeating I am sure they are all very excited to have you home Hope you are all having a fantastic day together."
