Fans of Outnumbered said they can't believe how "grown up" cast members Tyger Drew-Honey, Daniel Roche and Ramona Marquez look now ahead of the show's return.

The BBC sitcom followed parents Pete Brockman (played by Hugh Dennis) and Sue Brockman (Claire Skinner) who were outnumbered by their three children. Tyger, now 28, played eldest Jake Brockman, whilst Daniel, now 24, and Ramona, now 23, played his siblings Ben Brockman and Karen Brockman.

The acclaimed show debuted in 2007 and ran for five series until it ended in 2016. It was announced earlier this year that the show will return after almost a decade for a new Christmas special, which is set to air in the coming months.

Tyger, Daniel and Ramona reunited at the National Television Awards (the NTAs) this week ahead of the sitcom's return later this year. They were among the award presenters at the O2 Arena in London at the event on Wednesday night.

The trio's appearance at the NTAs was met with reaction on X, formerly known as Twitter. Several fans expressed disbelief that it was the three cast members, whilst others teased that seeing them "all grown up" made them feel old.

One person tweeted: "The Outnumbered kids have grown up. OMG I feel old." Another said: "Wow! The Outnumbered kids have grown so much!" Someone teased in their response: "The Outnumbered kids are all grown up. I feel ancient!"

Alongside a heart emoji, one viewer wrote: "The Outnumbered kids all grown up." Whilst another tweeted: "F***ing hell the Outnumbered kids grew up quick." Someone else said: "Omg the kids from outnumbered grew up so much."

Sharing their thoughts, one person said: "Makes me feel very old." Expressing disbelief, someone said: "Those are not the Outnumbered kids." Another fan teasing similarly on the platform: "Those are NOT the #Outnumbered kids!"

"OMG those are the kids from Outnumbered now!! Wow," another response to their appearance as the awards ceremony this week read. Whilst someone else tweeted following the occasion: "How lovely to see the #Outnumbered kids."

The BBC confirmed earlier this year that Outnumbered will return at Christmas. It's been announced that the main cast will all be back, with the BBC teasing: "In a moment of adversity, Sue and Pete gather all their offspring (including one grandchild) to try and celebrate a traditional family Christmas. But fate, neighbours, hyenas and bus replacement services get in their way."
