DANIEL Roche first shot to fame as the adorable, yet mischievous, Ben in the hit BBC comedy show Outnumbered.

Ben was part of the Brockman family, with their everyday lives quickly becoming addictive viewing on the popular sitcom.

Starring as the middle child, Ben was known for his wild stories and bizarre questions - and Daniel Roche played the energetic character perfectly.

But that was 15 years ago and the actor is no longer a fresh-faced seven-year-old.

Just last year, the child stars of Outnumbered reunited for the first time in forever - and they even documented it for fans.

Daniel and his former co-stars Ramona Marquez and Tyger Drew-Honey enjoyed a lunch date together.

And it’s safe to say that Daniel - and his former colleagues - look worlds away from the once innocent characters that they played in 2007.

The trio shocked fans with their changing appearances, with many stunned to see Daniels's notable growth spurt.

Since finishing the show, Daniel, now 22, has had a number of other acting roles and was even nominated for a Children's Bafta for his role in the BBC adaptation of Just William.

Years later, in 2010, he played a young Stephen Fry in Sky comedy Little Crackers.

But he's not just worked on his acting career - he also studied at King's College London where he played rugby.

He now plays at a semi-professional level and, like many 22-year-old’s, he spends lots of his time living his best life with his friends.
