Yes, we all know everyone gets older and obviously, children grow up, but when Outnumbered actress Ramona Marquez shared a reunion with some of the show's cast mates on her Instagram, everyone was left astounded at how different they all look.

Of course, these types of transformations are inevitable, but it seems that fans just can't get over how different the kids look these days. It's like when we found out that the actresses (twins) who played Emma from Friends are now 18 YEARS OLD - weird, right?

Outnumbered started in 2007 and ended its fifth series in 2014. It followed the Brockman family and parents Sue and Pete who were 'outnumbered' by their three wild children. As well as having its five popular seasons, there were four Outnumbered Christmas specials in 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2016.

Ramona, who we all remember as little Karen from Outnumbered - mischievous and curly-haired - is now 19 years old, and it's already been two years since she posted the infamous reunion snap.

Standing next to her on-screen siblings Ben and Jake (real names Daniel Roche and Tyger Drew-Honey), Ramona wrote, "Ya fave trio." Fans went into a bit of a frenzy in response, taking to the comments to express their disbelief.

"I can’t wrap my head around them ageing," wrote one follower.

"Ohhhh my gosh," added another.

Now, in 2021, we thought we'd do a little check up on the Brockman family, and mum Sue and dad Pete, of course.

Check out: where are the Outnumbered cast now?

Have you ever wondered where is Outnumbered set? Well, we can reveal that the Brockman family home is supposedly plonked in Chiswick, West London. And, though the house's fiction address was 'Keely Road', it's actually situated on Dempster road in Wandsworth - fun fact, eh?

Anyways...

Awww, isn't this snap of Ramona in 2011 just adorable? This would have been just before the fourth series of Outnumbered aired on TV.

Nowadays, Ramona's living her best Gen-Z-er life on Instagram and she looks SO different to her Outnumbered days of yore. Bye bye blonde and hello orange - we think we're here for it?

Ramona is studying at the University of Manchester and, even though it's been years since her Outnumbered stint, Celebs age wiki estimates that she's worth anywhere between $1 and 5million - wowza.

Ben Outnumbered then

Daniel would have been 11 year old here. He may be an adult now but we still remember him as the outspoken Ben shouting 'stranger danger' at his own dad in the zoo gift shop. Excellent TV 👏.

Ben from Outnumbered now

Now, Daniel is 21 years old and he's studying at Kings College London. He's actually on the uni rugby team and frequently shares snaps with followers of his, err, quite Ben-like match-time mannerisms. Seriously, check it out:

Fun fact, this photo was actually taken on Tyger's 15th birthday. Back when we were kids watching Outnumbered we definitely had a crush on Jake. Him and that boy from Peter Pan 😂.

In 2021, Tyger Drew-Honey is still very much on the media scene. In 2012-2019 he starred in BBC Three's Cuckoo with Taylor Lautner (it's on Netflix now, btw) and these days, he's working as a voice actor for CBBC's Scream Street cartoon. Plus, he's just as fanciable as ever, if you ask us...

Sue, AKA the mum from Outnumbered, is played by Claire Skinner and, according to Imdb, she's been in the acting game since 1988.

Since Outnumbered finished in 2014 (followed by the Christmas special in 2016), Claire has been busy working on ITV's Vanity Fair and she's even joined Tyger on CBBC's Scream Street.

Pete, AKA the dad from Outnumbered, is played by Hugh Dennis annd you'll probably recognise him from quite a lot of other TV programmes too...

Yep, Hugh Dennis is on Mock the Week, he starred in Fleabag, he's currently on BBC's Not Going Out - basically, he's quite the successful comedian.

Daisy Edgar Jones Outnumbered

Ok, so we've gone through the core Brockman fam, but did you know that Daisy Edgar Jones, AKA Marianne from Normal People, had a role in the Outnumbered 2016 Christmas Special?

Yep, Daisy popped onto our screens four years before Normal People to play Jake's girlfriend Kate. Who would'a thunk it, eh?
