The Outnumbered siblings have reunited for the first time in 10 years – and they’re all grown up.
Former child stars Tyger Drew-Honey (Jake), Daniel Roche (Ben) and Ramona Marquez (Karen) were known for wreaking havoc on their long-suffering parents Sue and Pete Brockman, played by Claire Skinner and Hugh Davis, in the award-winning BBC sitcom.
A decade on from when the final episode aired in 2014, the trio are back together working on a new project - and it’s all in the name of charity. Looking almost unrecognisable from their days on the hit show, Tyger, Daniel and Ramona are now aged 28, 24 and 22 respectively.
Teaming up for Red Nose Day, which will return on Friday, March 15, the on-screen siblings tried out this year’s brand new red noses, which you can buy for £2 from Amazon.
Outnumbered kids Jake, Karen and Ben reunite for Red Nose Day (Daniel Loveday/Comic Relief)Supporters of Comic Relief since they starred in Outnumbered, the Brockman kids have been part of some the most iconic sketches over the years, including one where Daniel’s character Ben has a run-in with Wimbledon champ Andy Murray. Another sketch saw Ramona’s on-screen mum Sue tried to persuade a six-year-old Karen not to wear her bridesmaids dress to school for Red Nose Day.

Speaking about his connection to the charity, Daniel said: “We were really lucky to have been a part of the Outnumbered Red Nose Day specials. I don’t think we appreciated just how big of a deal it was and how many people we could help by being involved. I will always remember meeting Andy Murray and how friendly and patient he was when I was peppering him with questions and tennis advice. Twelve years on from our last special, it’s great to be back together to make some more Red Nose Day memories, help raise some funds and have a laugh!”
Though it was recently rumoured the cast of Outnumbered may be returning for another series, Jake star Tyger confirmed the only reunion at the moment was for Red Nose Day. He said: “Getting back together to honour this year’s Red Nose Day was such good fun. Whilst this year we’re not causing chaos on British TV screens, we were able to try on the new noses and snap a few photos.”

All grown up now, they are aged 24, 28 and 22 in real life (Twitter)Youngest on-screen sibling Ramona, who was only seven during the first Outnumbered Red Nose special, added: “I always remember the Red Nose Day events we got to go to, they were great. I was really young but I remember all the celebrities coming together for Comic Relief. I especially like the specials because I remember that we got to wear our own clothes – and at the time, that was a big deal!”
This year’s red noses promise to be the funniest yet, as it’s the first time they will tell jokes. Each nose comes with a QR code that takes you to a Red Nose Day Joke Generator, in collaboration with Amazon Web Service, which reels off joke after to make you smile.
There are four fun characters to collect, as well as a limited edition gold nose. For the first time ever, the noses are made from entirely plant-based material, can be recycled at home and are the most sustainable yet. By purchasing a red nose your donation could help put food on plates, roofs over heads, keep little ones safe and support families affected by climate change.
