Outnumbered child star looks unrecognisable as she pokes fun at famous role

Outnumbered star Ramona Marquez has teased that fans still think she looks like her character from the BBC show, despite some suggesting that she's now unrecognisable.

The former actor, now 22, is best known for having played Karen Brockman in the popular sitcom, which debuted in 2007 and ran for five series until it ended in 2016.

Her character was the youngest child of Pete Brockman (played by Hugh Dennis ) and Sue Brockman ( Claire Skinner ), who are outnumbered by their three kids.

Ramona - who was around six when she played the character - has surprised fans in recent years with how she looks now, as she looks totally different from her role as Karen.

She has now teased that people still compare her to the fictional character that she played on Outnumbered, referencing such as part of a trend on TikTok recently.

The new trend sees people lip sync to audio in which an individual states that the reason people believe he sounds like a certain content creator is because it's actually him.

Actors and other high-profile individuals have been miming to the audio in their own posts, with them then revealing in their captions what they are still recognised for.

Ramona has posted footage of herself taking on the trend, which showed her wearing a white t-shirt and sporting lengthy brunette hair, eye makeup and silver jewellery.

She wrote alongside the clip: "Everybody tells me that I look like the little girl from Outnumbered". And she added in the caption: "Not surprised I look like her really".

The video has more than 2 million views and attracted around 160,000 likes on the platform. It prompted hundreds of comments from viewers in response.

Although the actor teased that she is still compared to her previous role, some people took to the comments section to share their surprise at discovering she played Karen.

One person wrote: "Shocked to say the least". Another said: "I refuse to believe that is Karen". Whilst a third person wrote in their response that they were "in shock" over it.

A number of others simply commented "omg," whilst one viewer reacted to the post by writing: "No way". Another person said in their response: "Oh my god it's her".

Others said that it made them feel old, with one person writing: "Okay… I'm officially old". Another said: "Jesus Christ I feel old". A third said: "I feel old now lol loved that show".

Other fans expressed hope that the show will return in the future, with the last episode having been a festive special that was broadcast around Christmas in 2016.

One person wrote in the comments: "We need a new special so bad!" Another said: "You need to do another special". A third said: "We actually need another series".
