Outnumbered kids seen with tattoos and facial hair 10 years after hit BBC sitcom


The beloved Outnumbered kids look unrecognisable in a new clip, with the now grown-ups seen sporting tattoos and facial hair 10 years on from the hit BBC sitcom. The Brockman siblings reunited to launch a limited-edition digital series called ‘Rewind’ for Comic Relief’s YouTube channel.

The new series sees the three youngest stars share behind-the-scenes secrets, including how the crew got the kids to behave and laugh on cue, and what it was like working with Hugh Dennis and Claire Skinner, who played their on-screen parents Pete and Sue.

In a snippet, Ramona Marquez, 23, who played the adorable Karen, is all grown up with tattoos. She is joined by her onscreen brothers, Tyger Drew-Honey, who played Jake, now 28, and Daniel Roche, now 24, who played Ben.

Daniel also looks noticeably different, with the former child star now rocking a beard as the cast joked about him having a much deeper voice. Watching a throwback clip of his character Ben on the show, Tyger Drew-Honey pointed out: "Listen to your voice now, you've got the deepest voice," To which actor Daniel giggled: "Yeah, I know."

The limited-edition digital series will show the TV siblings laugh, cringe, and look back at what it was like to work with huge stars like Wimbledon champion Andy Murray, Chelsea hero Frank Lampard, and Christine Lampard on the show.
