OUTNUMBERED actress Ramona Marquez looked worlds away from Karen at a red carpet event tonight.

She is all grown up and nowadays you wouldn't recognise her from the BBC sitcom.

The former child star played the Brockmans' daughter Karen in the hit comedy, and turns 21 next week.

She attended the Boots 17 make-up launch party sporting red hair, a tongue piercing, and very sharp nails.

Ramona completed her grunge look with thick chains and silver rings, as she displayed her edgy tattoos.

She posed in blue jeans and black trainers, and a plunging top.

Ramona is studying Mandarin and Spanich at the University of Manchester after spending years in the spotlight.

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.

Since quitting acting, Ramona has been making spare cash by shifting her old clothes on .

On her Depop profile, which has over 10,000 followers, the former child star lists herself as "5'4 and around a size 8".
