Outnumbered's Karen, 18, looks totally different with shocking tattoo
In case fans needed reminding just how long ago Outnumbered was on our TV screens, the actress who played little Karen Brockman has just celebrated her 18th birthday. Ramona Marquez - who was just six years old when the popular BBC show first aired - turned 18 last month, and marked the big occasion by getting her first tattoo. The actress was almost unrecognisable in an Instagram post she shared, which showed her stunning dragon tattoo on her left arm. Fans might remember inquisitive but totally adorable Karen for her wavy blonde hair - but Ramona has had a total transformation, and looks amazing with straight, dark hair and blunt bangs.

Ramona is still friends with stars of Outnumbered and she posted a photo with her former on-screen brothers just last December. Daniel Roche, 19, who played middle sibling Ben, is all grown up and attending university in London. Tyger Drew Honey, 23, who played big brother Jake, has since appeared on shows including Celebrity Masterchef and Celebs Go Dating. Fans were delighted to see the trio reunited in the Instagram photo, with one writing: "Love you guys and the show. My friend and I rewatch all the time. Still laugh all the time," and other adding: "Glad to see the three of you together again."
