Daughter of couple that has appeared on TV 2,500 times stars in Hollywood film

Britain's most prolific extras who have appeared on television 2,500 times ended up falling in love and having a child together - who is also now an extra in films. Neilum Raqia-Walker, 46, met her future husband, John Walker, 50, on the set of BBC's Doctors when they were playing husband and wife in July 2008.

The couple were both regulars on the small screen. Neilum had appeared in Casualty as a nurse, and Midsomer Murders as a police officer. John featured in Hollyoaks as a doctor, The Woman in Black as a butler and Doctor Who as a diseased patient, among other roles.

After hitting it off, Neilum and John moved in together after just a month of dating and John proposed a year later in November 2009. They tied the knot in November 2013 and welcomed their daughter, India, seven, in February 2015 - who modelled as a Princess Charlotte lookalike at just six days old.
