Outnumbered child star, 29, marries partner of seven years
Tyger Drew-Honey, 29, who is also known for starring in Cuckoo alongside Greg Davies, is said to have tied the knot with Fluke Chotphuang.
In 2007, the actor was introduced to viewers as Jake Brockman in the BBC sitcom, which starred Hugh Dennis and Claire Skinner as his parents, Pete and Sue, while Daniel Roche and Ramona Marquez played his siblings Ben and Karen.
Tyger appeared on the show for seven years, later reprising the role for a special in 2016 and another last year.
On Instagram, it appears as though Fluke has already adopted the Drew-Honey surname as the pair sealed their union.
Tyger took to his social media page to share a number of beautiful photos from their special day.
Tyger can be seen in a light blue suit alongside Fluke as they enjoy the ceremony.
It is not yet clear whether his Outnumbered co-stars also attended the wedding.
Earlier this year, it was revealed that Tyger was returning to our screens in a brand-new role.
The actor has appeared on The Armstrong & Miller Show, Doctors, Midsomer Murders, Death in Paradise, and even Celebs Go Dating.
However, four years after appearing on Grantchester, Tyger took on the role of journalist Ernest Parke in the Sky drama-documentary series, Jack the Ripper: Written in Blood.
The 'bold new series' investigates the killings of Jack the Ripper and the media circus it created in 1800s London.
According to the synopsis of the show, Parke led much of the press around the Ripper killings and 'theorised in the 31st August 1888 edition that Jack the Ripper was a single killer'.
Last year, Tyger spoke candidly about his struggle to secure acting work after being a child star.
'I have done some good things, but then there have been times that I've worked on building sites,' he told The Sun.
'I just dream of having constant acting work, and I really hope the hype and the momentum of this special continues so that we can all have a really successful next year, because the last three or four years have been tough for this industry.
'For this to come back and give us good hope for next year, I think is brilliant, and that's what I'm hoping for anyway,' he added when promoting the latest Outnumbered special.
Around the same time, he also spoke about the impact of finding fame young.
'I found it difficult at times – and I wasn't a crazy teenager – but wanting to have a drink at 17,' he shared during an appearance on This Morning.
Elsewhere in the world of Outnumbered, it was revealed that Hugh and Claire – who play the couple in the TV show – married three years ago without anyone knowing.
Got together when filming ended of the 2017 series, which was confirmed the following June.
And after eight years together, MailOnline confirmed Hugh and Claire tied the knot in the summer of 2022 in the parish of Westminster, not once speaking publicly about their nuptials. More Trending
Following last year's Christmas special of Outnumbered, Ramona – who played Karen – revealed her new venture as a tattoo artist.
On TikTok, she shared that she had completed her first week as a professional tattooist at El Museo Studio in South London.
This came after Daniel Roche, who played Ben, said he was getting back into acting after playing rugby for the Wasps academy.
He said: 'I just want to get back into the swing of it, really. I'm not saying I want to be standing on stage with an Oscar for best actor. Ultimately, you want to spend your life doing what you enjoy, and I've always enjoyed acting.'

After axing Gregg Wallace and John Torode, this is how MasterChef moves forward
MasterChef can't catch a break lately. After a damning investigation came out this week that upheld 45 of 83 complaints against Gregg Wallace – including one of unwelcome physical contact, seven allegations of bullying, and the majority relating to inappropriate language and humour – co-host John Torode is now in the firing line. An allegation of Torode using 'an extremely offensive racist term' was upheld and he was sacked as a MasterChef presenter as a result. Confirming the news, the show's production company, Banijay, said it was 'agreed' with the BBC that his contract on the show will not be renewed. In his latest Instagram statement, Torode said: 'Although I haven't heard from anyone at the BBC or Banijay – I am seeing and reading that I've been 'sacked' from MasterChef and I repeat that I have no recollection of what I'm accused of. The enquiry could not even state the date or year of when I am meant to have said something wrong.' He added: 'Over the past few months, I have been considering my life and the shape of it now and in the future… Personally, I have loved every minute working on MasterChef, but it's time to pass the cutlery to someone else. For whoever takes over, love it as I have.' John Torode had to go. In fact, the show has been in need of a total overhaul for a long time – especially to stop it going the way of This Morning. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The latter never fully recovered from the Phillip Schofield scandal, with Holly Willoughby becoming a constant reminder of its most shocking controversy. Even before the racism allegations came to light, Torode was too closely linked to Wallace, and his continued presence would have made it harder for MasterChef to move on. And, gallingly, both of Torode's statements via Instagram this week have had a glaring omission: Not once did he condemn Wallace's behaviour or express sympathy for the people behind the 45 complaints that were upheld. A report by law firm Lewis Silkin found there were 27 substantiated claims against Wallace relating to alleged incidents during this period, most of which related to sexually explicit comments. One allegation of unwanted physical contact during this timeframe was also substantiated. The report found that when concerns were reported to the production company during this period, there was a failure to retain records of any action taken. The report found that 17 upheld allegations relate to this period. In 2015, the production company behind MasterChef investigated an allegation about Wallace's behaviour, but he was not made aware of the complaint. The following year, the production company merged with Endemol, and more formal policies, regular training, and anonymous reporting lines were introduced. The BBC intervened in response to a complaint in 2017, following which Wallace was warned of the need to change his behaviour. One substantiated complaint about an inappropriate comment fell into this period. Wallace faced allegations of inappropriate sexual comments from 13 people across a range of shows over 17 years, BBC News reported. The TV star stepped away from presenting MasterChef while Banijay, the show's production company, announced that it was conducting an external review to 'fully and impartially investigate' the claims. BBC News said allegations include the presenter 'talking openly about his sex life, taking his top off in front of a female worker saying he wanted to "give her a fashion show", and telling a junior female colleague he was not wearing any boxer shorts under his jeans'. The charity Ambitious About Autism said it had dropped Wallace as an ambassador, citing the 'recent allegations'. Banijay UK confirmed it appointed law firm Lewis Silkin to lead the investigation into Wallace's alleged behaviour. Wallace said in a video posted to Instagram that accusations about him making sexual comments towards staff and guests have come from 'middle-class women of a certain age'. Downing Street said Wallace's response to the accusations being made against him was 'inappropriate and misogynistic'. A spokesperson added that Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy had held talks with BBC bosses in the wake of the Wallace row. Following the backlash, Wallace apologised for any 'offence' or 'upset' he caused with his remarks and said he would 'take some time out'. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said politicians should be ready to put in place 'mechanisms' that would instil 'confidence' that women will be taken seriously in reports of inappropriate behaviour after a Labour MP asked him about 'women of a certain age', reflecting comments Wallace apologised for. MasterChef co-presenter John Torode said in a social media post that he 'loves being part of' the programme and 'will continue to be a part of it'. Wallace told the Daily Mail he 'thought about suicide all the time' after allegations of misconduct were made against him. Wallace was sacked as MasterChef presenter following the inquiry into his alleged misconduct by production company Banijay. BBC News said it had not seen the final review from Banijay but understood the presenter had been sacked. In an Instagram post, the former greengrocer claimed he had been cleared of the 'most serious and sensational accusations' ahead of the published review. He also said he recognised that some of his humour and language were inappropriate 'at times' and apologised for this. The report by law firm Lewis Silkin for Banijay is published. It says that a total of 45 out of the 83 allegations made against Wallace during his time on the show were substantiated, including one allegation of 'unwelcome physical contact'. It concludes that the 'majority of the substantiated allegations against Mr Wallace related to inappropriate sexual language and humour', adding that 'a smaller number of allegations of other inappropriate language and being in a state of undress were also substantiated'. In the wake of the report's findings, Banijay say that 'Wallace's return to MasterChef (is) untenable'. That, in itself, is appalling. So, with the knowledge that he also used 'an extremely offensive racist term', I say good riddance, Torode. Both his and Wallace's departure from the show will give it a chance to reset — and there are two clear candidates who could breathe new life into the show at a moment when it's on life support. Grace Dent and Jay Rayner are the obvious pairing to save MasterChef, steer it in a new direction, and help it shed the skin of its problematic past. Both are long-standing members of the MasterChef family — and highlights of the show. Dent is refreshingly engaged with the future of food broadcasting, regularly appearing on TikTok and other platforms to champion aspiring culinary talent. She treats a Michelin star meal with the same respect as a perfect fry-up at a local café. And her razor-sharp wit would be the ideal antidote to Wallace's often wince-inducing humour. She's already filmed the next series of Celebrity MasterChef, and I have no doubt it will be a much more palatable watch without a trace of Wallace – although Torode confirmed he was part of this season, as well as two additional Christmas specials. Side note: I believe these should still be aired – just as I argued earlier this week that Wallace's final MasterChef should be aired too. MasterChef has long needed a feminine touch and there is simply no one more deserving of the job than Grace Dent — particularly after gaining huge popularity following I'm A Celebrity in 2023. Her time is now. Rayner, too, strikes a rare balance of being both scathing and charming. He's blisteringly funny, bursting with charisma, and appreciates a world-class chippy dinner just as much as fine dining. Few others — certainly not Wallace or Torode — manage that same breadth and warmth. Rayner could recite the Teletubbies and make it sound like poetry. Even though 'posh' isn't popular, Rayner breaks the mould. Despite sounding like aristocracy, he feels like a man of the people. Now that MasterChef is missing the 'cheeky greengrocer' figure Wallace loved to lean on, Rayner fills that void — in a totally different, but exciting new way. Obviously, the dust is yet to settle on Wallace and Torode's exits. They've been at the helm of MasterChef for 20 years and those are not easy shoes to fill — but if anyone can, it's Dent and Rayner. At the very least, I hope MasterChef still has a future. I feel more confident that it does compared to other shows that have suffered similar controversies. This Morning has struggled to reach the same relevance as it did when Holly and Phil went viral every day for bursting into fits of hysterical giggles. I love Cat Deeley and Ben Shepherd individually, but together they have zero chemistry; ultimately with shows like This Morning, it's the chemistry that makes or breaks it. More Trending In the case of MasterChef, it is all about the contestants, the journey and ultimately finding a winner whose restaurant I'd travel cross-country to eat in. But a Dent and Rayner combination could see MasterChef not only have us caring about the contestants, but about the presenters, too. Torode and Wallace weren't cherished or ever compared to the Ant and Decs or Holly and Phils of broadcasting, but this new pair could be. I don't think Wallace and Torode ever carried the show and I can't even say I ever tuned in to watch either of them.

Loose Women star says John Torode has been treated 'worse than a serial killer' after BBC axe
Many celebrities have shown their support towards John Torode after he was axed from his role in BBC's MasterChef following claims of racist language used on set. Former MasterChef host John Torode was left outraged after discovering he had been axed from the culinary competition, having stumbled upon the announcement online. The 59-year-old presenter was reportedly heartbroken when the BBC and production company Banijay confirmed he was sacked from the show following allegations of racist language. The news of John's racist remarks and dismissal comes shortly after the corporation cut ties with his co-presenter Gregg Wallace, after 45 complaints were made for misconduct claims, the Mirror reports. The BBC released an official statement, saying: "John Torode has identified himself as having an upheld allegation of using racist language. This allegation, which involves an extremely offensive racist term being used in the workplace, was investigated and substantiated by the independent investigation led by law firm Lewis Silkin." "John Torode denies the allegation. We will not tolerate racist language of any kind and, as we have already said, we told Banijay UK, the makers of MasterChef, that action must be taken. John Torode's contract will not be renewed," the statement continued. It is believed that John's agent was told of the news only 11 minutes before news sites published the announcement and the public knew. In the wake of the controversy, certain celebrities are rallying behind John, with Loose Women star Jane Moore expressing her disbelief towards the whole ordeal in her most recent column. The TV personality wrote in her column with The Sun, stating: "What the hell? Even serial killers get to see the evidence against them and put up a defence in court." "But in the world of corporate HR, it seems that a Caesar-like thumbs up or down is delivered on someone's reputation and career without the chance to mount a robust challenge," she continued. Taking to Instagram John showed his disbelief at the news, declaring: "Although I haven't heard from anyone at the BBC or Banijay - I am seeing and reading that I've been 'sacked' from MasterChef and I repeat that I have no recollection of what I'm accused of." "The enquiry could not even state the date or year of when I am meant to have said something wrong. I'd hoped that I'd have some say in my exit from a show I've worked on since its relaunch in 2005, but events in the last few days seem to have prevented that..." "I have loved every minute working on MasterChef, but it's time to pass the cutlery to someone else." He concluded the statement saying: "Thank you for the many years of MasterChef. JOHN TORODE." As well as Jane, McFly's Danny Jones and ITV personality Amanda Holden have shown their support towards the former MasterChef host by liking his Instagram post.
