Outnumbered child star, 29, marries partner of seven years
A child star from Outnumbered has married his 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.' Got a story?

A new hot spot just opened in the original Macchialina space in Miami Beach
It's dark. It's cool. And you can't make a reservation, but you're going to want to go anyway. Fluke is the new venture from the team at the Italian gem Macchialina, one of Miami Beach's most beloved restaurants (one of Miami's most beloved restaurants, for that matter). Located next to Macchialina, Fluke is an oyster and crudo bar with a cocktail program that focuses on martinis. Chef Mike Pirolo, who opened Macchialina 12 years ago with his sister Jacqueline and partner Jennifer Chaefsky, said the renovation and expansion of the restaurant space in 2024 offered the opportunity to dream. Last year they took over the adjacent Miami Hostel, transforming the space into the newer, more comfortable Macchialina, leaving their original location a blank canvas for them to create a new concept. 'What started as 'the little restaurant that wouldn't quit' turned into a 5,600-square foot expansion with a newfound opportunity to build on our roots and bring Fluke to life,' he said. 'This stroke of luck is how we landed on the name 'Fluke' — it's a celebration of those happy coincidences that aligned perfectly to make this exciting new chapter possible.' Fluke is darker and moodier than the original Macchialina, with a new black marble bar and the familiar brick walls. The restaurant uses a sort of self-service model, where guests mark their choices on paper menus and servers deliver the orders from the kitchen, which is led by chef de cuisine Trevor Zwaan, formerly of the sushi giant Uchi. Expect oysters and crudo, including fluke with tomato guazzetto and baby caponata; madai with plum vinaigrette and Thai chili; and branzino with artichoke gremolata, citrus oil and preserved lemon. Fried options include mussels marinara and shrimp as well as rosemary salt fries. Most importantly, Macchialina's beloved Big Macch Burger — served with Fontina cheese and mushrooms — is on the menu permanently. 'We wanted to do seafood the way we love to eat it — simple, high-quality, and always inspired,' Mike Pirolo said. 'We're bringing that same philosophy to Fluke; it's all about letting the ingredients shine without overcomplicating things.' The wine list is different than Jacqueline Pirolo's Macchialina list, which features only Italian wines. At Fluke, diners can find French whites, light reds and more than a few sparkling wines. Fluke follows the path of what Macchialina has always highlighted: great food, great atmosphere and 'zero pretense,' said Jacqueline Pirolo, who won the 2025 Michelin Guide Sommelier Award. 'The idea was to reimagine the OG indoor space at Macchialina for the community that's supported us for over a decade while bringing a fun and fresh idea to the neighborhood,' she said. 'No reservations — just drop in for a martini and oysters or stay for a full meal.' The opening comes just after the Macchialina team opened Bar Bucce, a casual pizzeria and market in Little River. Fluke Where: 820 Alton Road, Miami Beach Hours: 5-11 p.m. Wednesday-Sunday; Lucky $7 Martini happy hour 5-7 p.m. More information: 305-534-2124 or @flukemiami
