BBC sitcom star unrecognisable seven years after show ended – can you guess who it is?
A STAR of much-loved BBC sitcom Outnumbered looks very different seven years after the programme ended
Ramona Marquez, 22, played highly critical youngster Karen Brockman in the show between 2007 and 2016.
Over the years, she’s experimented with her style, going from vibrant red hair to a shorter, darker style with blonde highlights.
In 2019 she also had a large dragon tattooed onto her bicep, while she has another design in a similar place on her other arm.
Now she has a full fringe, textured dark brown hair and likes to wear heavy winged eyeliner.
Ramona documents her life on TikTok, and one of her most recent clips saw her remember her Outnumbered past.
The short clip features the words “Everybody tells me that I look like the little girl from Outnumbered…” over the top of her staring into the camera while viral lyric “Everybody told me that I sound like CG5, probably because I am CG,” plays over the top.
Ramona captioned it: “Not surprised I look like her really!”
Fans of the show loved the blast from the past and begged for a reunion or reboot.
One wrote: “Outnumbered was class we need a reunion.”
Another said: “Karen is an absolute icon.”
A third posted: “I freaking love outnumbered and Karen was defo my fave and Ben.”
The hugely popular family sitcom starred Tyger Drew-Honey, Daniel Roche and Ramona as the Brockmans’ (Hugh Dennis and Claire Skinner) three children.
Last summer the on-screen siblings caught up for a drink and dinner at a local pub and gushed about seeing each other again.
Sharing photos of the trio to Instagram, Tyger wrote: “Family. #grateful.”
Daniel and Ramona also shared photos of the night out and posted them with love-heart emojis.
Outnumbered ran on BBC1 from 2007 for five seasons until 2014, before returning for a Christmas special in 2016.
Ramona has quit acting and studies Mandarin and Spanish at the University of Manchester.
In 2009, Ramona became the first child to win the British Comedy Award for Best Female Comedy Newcomer.
She also starred as Imogen Pollock in the made-for-TV movie Enid which detailed the life of children’s author Enid Blyton.
Daniel played the adorable, yet mischievous, Ben and has had a number of other acting roles and was even nominated for a Children’s Bafta for his role in the BBC adaptation of Just William.
Years later, in 2010, he played a young Stephen Fry in Sky comedy Little Crackers.
Tyger, 26, is still acting and made headline in 2019 when he filmed a confrontation with an alleged flasher he said “licked his lips” at him while performing a sex act on the Costa Blanca.
Tyger said he was relaxing at the beach and was “considering going for a dip when this man started circling me”.
The actor immediately became concerned that it “seemed like the behaviour of a flasher”, and was shocked to see him “licking his lips at me”.
After seeing him allegedly perform a sexual act, the Outnumbered star decided to “shame him” by filming the man.
The Olive Press said it happened after Tyger left a venue hosting his dad’s band.
