Outnumbered fans are thrilled with the show’s return this Christmas and have rediscovered the real-life romance between the actors who play mom and dad on the show. Claire Skinner and Hugh Dennis fell in love while working together on the set of Outnumbered, and their relationship has been going strong since they confirmed it in 2018. This news left their on-screen kids surprised, especially Daniel Roche, who played Ben. He jokingly claimed that they had been together far longer than they admitted, which brought some attention to their relationship. However, he later clarified his statement, saying that he never meant to suggest they had been together for years.
Claire Skinner had split from her husband in 2018, and Hugh Dennis had separated from his second wife in 2015. Claire is a mother to two sons, while Hugh has two children from his previous marriage. When they confirmed their relationship, they expressed their happiness and revealed that they were living together in London. Their love story started after both of them had gone through marriage breakdowns at similar times. Claire also talked about their experience working on the show with the kids, emphasizing that the young actors playing their children had a lot of control on set. She and Hugh would let the kids take the lead and then focus on the more technical aspects when the kids were not around.
Fans of Outnumbered are delighted to see what happens next to the Brockman family in the upcoming Christmas special. The show, which follows the chaotic lives of a family with three kids, was a hit when it aired, and the news of the real-life romance between the actors who played the parents added another layer of interest for viewers. Claire and Hugh have managed to keep their relationship strong despite going through personal challenges in the past. The revelation of their romance has added a new perspective to the show for many fans who are eagerly awaiting the special episode set to air this Christmas.
The reunion of Outnumbered has brought back memories for fans who remember the on-screen chemistry between Sue and Pete Brockman, played by Claire Skinner and Hugh Dennis. The fact that they are a real-life couple adds a unique charm to their characters and the show. The kids who played their children on the show also had a strong bond with them, as Claire mentioned how the young actors were the focus of the set. With the return of the show, fans are excited to see how the family has evolved since the last season and to witness the dynamics between the characters, especially now that they know about the real-life relationship between Sue and Pete. The Christmas special promises to bring back the humor and heartwarming moments that made Outnumbered a beloved show.
