Eddie McGuire’s son will soon be on our tv screens

Seems like the television industry and the McGuire’s go hand in hand.

Eddie McGuire’s son Xander will soon be making a name for himself on the small screen just like his father, but it won’t be on Millionaire Hot Seat.

The 12-year-old has been cast in Neighbours as Charlie Hoyland – the eldest son of Steph Scully who is returning to Ramsay Street after a prolonged absence.

According to the Herald Sun, Eddie couldn’t be happier for his son’s first on-screen role.

‘I’m not going to be a stage dad. He did all this on his own and on merit,’ he told the newspaper.
