The ‘Outnumbered’ Children Are All Grown Up And People Are Freaking Out
Back in 2007, three adorable youngsters burst onto our TV screens as the lovable kids of Pete and Sue on Outnumbered - Those three being Ramona Marquez (Karen, aged six when the show started), Daniel Roche (Ben, seven) and Tyger Drew-Honey (Jake, then 11).
Here they are:

Nine years on though, and two years since the last episode aired in 2014, the three ‘Outnumbered’ children are all grown up and it’s making people on social media freak out a little bit.
And feel very, very old.

Sure, everyone grows up (and we obviously look a lot different than we did when we were six or seven), but there’s something about this that’s just making us feel ancient.
Ramona, now aged 15, shared the photo of her, Daniel (now 16) and Tyger (20) on her private Instagram account, and it didn’t take long for the snap to start circulating on Twitter.
The reaction was pretty much the same across the board, with many expressing shock, confusion and joy at seeing the ‘siblings’ together again.

Though the show has now ended, there’s been talk of a one-off special or two happening in the future.
