BBC’s Outnumbered returns tonight (November 15) as part of the 2024 Children in Need fundraising campaign.

After eight years without them on our screens, Hugh Dennis, Claire Skinner, Tyger Drew-Honey, Daniel Roche and Ramona Marquez are back.

With years gone by, you might be wondering how old the children are as they noticeably have all grown up.

In previous Outnumbered series, Karen (Ramona Marquez), Ben (Daniel Roche) and Jake (Tyger Drew-Honey) grew up before our eyes, starting off as young children but the series stopped filming as the kids were progressing into teenagers.

The episodes have always been chaotic with the children and parents dynamic being relatable to Brits.

How old are Karen, Ben and Jake from Outnumbered?

With years gone by and their faces certainly more mature, you might wonder how old the actors who played the Brockman’s children are now.

Ramona Marquez, who played Karen, the couple’s youngest child and only daughter, is now 23 years old, reports IMDb, as she was born in February 2001.

The couple’s second child and son Ben, played by Daniel Roche, was born in October 1999, making him 25 years old while Tyger Drew-Honey who played Jake, the couple’s oldest son, is now aged 28, IMDb shares.

How to watch Outnumbered Children in Need special

The kids who aren’t so little anymore return with their on-screen mum (Claire Skinner) and dad (Hugh Dennis) for a special episode on Children in Need.

Viewers can also look forward to the family’s special episode, airing this Christmas.

Outnumbered ran for five series between 2007 to 2014 and the most recent episode was a Christmas special in 2016.

While the show was scripted, scenes featuring the children were semi-improvised.
