THEY say a leopard can’t change its spots, but it seems Tyger-Drew Honey can make himself virtually unrecognisable.
The Outnumbered actor has transformed himself into a Victorian for new Sky History series, Jack the Ripper: Written in Blood which drops next week.

The three-part drama-documentary explores the infamous Whitechapel murders of 1888 from an entirely new angle.
It looks at how a team of reporters from local newspaper, The Star, created and fuelled the legend of Jack The Ripper and in so doing, contributed to a serial killer evading justice.
Tyger, who’s almost as famous for his adult movie parents Ben Dover and Linzi Drew as he is for appearing in Outnumbered, plays one of the hacks on the publication.
Hayley Reynolds, Director of Documentaries and Factual at Sky said: “This series offers audiences a startlingly contemporary lens through which to view the Jack the Ripper story.
“The perspectives of contributors who have personal experience of this world provide insight like never before, re-framing the story for Sky HISTORY’s audiences.”
Tyger, 29, was last seen in Outnumbered, which launched on BBC One in 2007 when he was just 11 years old, at Christmas when a festive special had viewers tuning in in droves.
Appearing alongside his TV siblings, played by Daniel Roche and Ramona Marquez, viewers were blown away by just how much they’d grown up since the early days of the show.
Just wait till they get a look at Tyger in his latest show, which airs on Sky History on Tuesday at 9pm.
