Outnumbered star Daniel Roche looks bleary eyed after honking on a ‘beer bong’ at Reading Festival
The 16-year-old actor was surrounded by cheering crowds at the music festival
A VIDEO of Outnumbered star Daniel Roche honking on a “beer bong” has gone viral on Twitter – just days after his co-star Ramona Marquez angrily denied accusations of drug use.
The 16-year-old actor, who played mischievous Ben in the BBC series, was filmed on his knees drinking from the bong while crowds around him cheered at Reading Festival last week.

Daniel played Ben on the BBC show from 2007-2014, bagging the role when he was just seven-years-old.
Since the show wrapped, he's swapped acting for the world of Rugby and currently plays for Wasps RFC Academy.
At the height of his acting career, Ben won himself a Children’s BAFTA in 2010 for his role in Just William.
