Outnumbered child actor allegedly flaunts 'bags of marijuana' while touring Asia

Child star Daniel Roche, known for his role on Outnumbered, has shared snaps posing with packets of green leaves that appear to possibly be marijuana, on his social media.

The former BBC actor, who played tricky Ben on the hit comedy show, is all grown up as he currently is making his way travelling around South East Asia to gain a better understanding of the culture.

The 23-year-old showed off what is alleged to be cannabis on a night out with friends as he grinned towards the camera.

In a number of snaps, the floppy-haired telly favourite pushes the airtight sealed silver package up to the camera captioning the Instagram post: “No case in the Golden Triangle," as first reported by The Mirror.

There is no suggestion that Daniel had taken any drugs, although a friend replied to his photos with a number of smoke emojis.

Back in 2017, Daniel allegedly sang some about Class B drug Ketamine at the BoomTown Fair festival in Winchester.

But the young lad seems to be enjoying his trip across the Eastern country as he keeps his loyal fleet of fans updated with what he's been getting up to having the time of his life in a jungle, riding a motorbike on a mountain and partying with pals.

It comes more than 15 years since he found fame on the BBC comedy which ran for five series from 2007 to 2014 centred on the troublesome Brockman clan - led by dad Pete, Hugh Dennis, and mum Sue, Claire Skinner.

Their children included hyperactive Ben, siblings Jake and Karen were played by Tyger Drew-Honey, now 26, and Ramona Marquez, now 21.

Ben was known on the series, which was last on screen for a Christmas special in 2016, for his hypothetical questions and wild stories, with him the family's energetic middle child.

Daniel now sporting a tattoo, enjoying time with his friends and having even reunited with his former on-screen siblings back in 2021.

However, he doesn't appear to have pursued acting since the Outnumbered ended in 2016, with The Sun reporting that he went on to study at King's College London.

He's said to have played rugby whilst at university and it's been reported he now plays at a semi-professional level.

Mirror Online have approached his reps for comment.
