Outnumbered star is now working in a golf shop

There's a simple reason for it, though!

| Updated:

Actor Tyger Drew-Honey is best known to most of us for playing Outnumbered’s eldest child Jake.

But according to a new report, he’s now trying trying his hand at a different sort of career after applying for a golf shop job.

The Sun reports that Tyger, 21, was recently spotted on an induction course for the job with a golf store based in Birmingham.

But before you go thinking that poor old Tyger’s fallen on hard times, that’s NOT the case.

His spokesperson confirmed Tyger’s working at the shop but said it’s purely because the former child star is a bit of a golf fanatic and wanted to brush up on his skills.

(Although if you follow him on Twitter, you’d already know he loves his golf!)

The rep said: “[Tyger’s been] helping out in the pro shop between acting roles to gain a better understanding of the sport.”

And, as a source pointed out, he gets a nice discount on golfing gear, free use of the facilities and extra money.

Not a bad plan, eh?

Tyger’s certainly not stepped away from showbiz; he is currently writing a sitcom and recently shared the trailer for his new movie short, Blue, about the graffiti art scene in London.

He also has an exciting project listed on his IMDB, which promises to be a retelling of Shakespeare’s classic A Midsummer Night’s Dream, set in modern times.

Most recently, he appeared in the latest series of Celebrity MasterChef and tried to find love on Celebs Go Dating, as well as providing a regular voice role on CBBC’s Scream Street.

Of course, what we would all really, really love is another Outnumbered… especially after getting a nostalgic blast from the past with last year’s Christmas special.

So far there’s nothing concrete in the works but show star Hugh Dennis (Pete) gave us all hope of a new episode when he appeared on ITV’s Lorraine earlier this year.

“I doubt there will be another series but there will be more specials because that does seem to work,” he said.

“I think the key to its success is that people talk on the show the way people speak in real life, so it never feels like lines.

“The kids on the show aren’t kids now, but luckily kids tend to live at home with their parents now until they’re about 40 so it could still work!”

Bring it on!
