What happened to the Outnumbered children after the show as Christmas special airs

The Brockman family are back after eight years off the air

The Brockmans will be returning to our screens very soon with an Outnumbered special this Christmas Day. But as fans will know all too well, we haven't seen the chaotic family for eight years - and a lot has changed.

Show creators Guy Jenkin and Andy Hamilton have reunited to provide us with a new-look into the lives of Pete (Hugh Dennis) and Sue Brockman (Claire Skinner) in West London.

Their kids - Jake (Tyger Drew-Honey), Ben (Daniel Roche), and Karen (Ramona Marquez) - are all grown up now and obviously look very different.

The eldest Brockman child was played by Tyger Drew-Honey, who is now 28-years-old. And he's done a fair amount since the show, having appeared in the likes of Midsomer Murders and Citizen Khan, to various reality shows like Celebs Go Dating and Celebrity Masterchef.

He dropped a big spoiler ahead of the reunion, stating that there will be a new addition to the family.

"Jake absolutely adores his child and is very much in love with the mother of his child but he has been having struggles with fatherhood as any parents of small children can relate," he told the BBC.

"Especially the lack of sleep and his daughter’s tendency to impersonate animals. If I had to compare her personality to either Karen or Ben when they were younger, I’d say she’s got more of a Ben personality.

"She’s got some of the genes that Ben and I got from Dad."

Middle child Ben was played by Daniel Roche, who is focused more on his semi-pro rugby career these days.

The 25-year-old admitted to the Radio Times that it's 'hard to juggle the two'.

On what it was like growing up on screen, he told the BBC: "For me and Ramona we were young and didn’t really have anything to compare it to.

"Filming this special really made me appreciate the opportunity that Outnumbered gave us and how inextricably connected it is with our lives and I’m very grateful."

Ramona Marquez was just six-years-old when she starred in Outnumbered and her acting career has gone from strength-to-strength.

The 23-year-old - who has featured in The King’s Speech and in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel - added: "I always love when people say I used to watch it with my mum or my mum loves that show. That’s always my favourite thing to hear and they would then ask for a selfie to show their mum and I always say yes.

"I love to hear that, it’s always heartwarming, fans sharing those moments with their families."

Outnumbered is set to air on BBC One at 9:40pm on 26 December, 2024.
