Outnumbered’s Ramona Marquez looks worlds away from Karen Brockman and shows off HUGE tattoos ahead of Christmas special

OUTNUMBERED star Ramona Marquez looks worlds away from Karen Brockman as she shows off her tattoo collection ahead of the Christmas special.

Earlier today it was confirmed that the much-loved BBC show is returning to our screens a whopping EIGHT years after its last episode.

The comedy launched back in 2007 and went on to have five successful series.

Over the past 17 years there have been four Christmas specials - and there is going to be another to add to that mix this year.

Ramona, 23 - who plays daughter Karen Brockman - was just six years old when she appeared on the show.

Since her stint on Outnumbered she's grown a huge collection of ink on her skin, and loves to share snaps on her Instagram.

The actress has tattoos on her stomach, arms and on her fingers.

Back in January Ramona showed off her new artwork across her torso in an Instagram post.

She captioned the post: "@nooirtattoo Love love love love 👹."

Outnumbered was last on our screens in 2016 for one of its Christmas specials.

Fans have shared their excitement all over social media today after it was revealed that Outnumbered will be back very soon.

BBC Director of Comedy Jon Petrie spoke at the BBC Comedy Festival in Glasgow today and surprised onlookers by announcing six new and returning shows.

Ramona also took to Instagram to share the news with a snap of her on-screen brothers Tyger Drew-Honey and Danny Roche.

She wrote: "WE ARE SO BACK !!!! OUTNUMBERED CHRISTMAS SPECIAL 2024 SEE YOU SOON ��🎅🏻🎁."

Many rushed to the comments section to share the love.

One said: "Omg can't waiitttttt 🔥."

Another confessed: " don’t think I’ve ever been this excited for a reunion omg."

A third chimed in: "Great news! Really looking forward to it and hoping for a new series of Outnumbered!"

The programme follows the lives of the Brockman family.

Hugh Dennis plays dad Pete, while Claire Skinner is mum Sue - and back in 2018 the pair confirmed that they were dating in real life.

Tyger plays eldest son Jake, Daniel's alter-ego is Ben and Ramona plays the youngest Karen.

Talking about the upcoming special, Hugh said: "Pete and Sue have downsized, the children are no longer children, but I’m sure family life will prove to be just as chaotic as ever."

Claire said: "I’m really looking forward to being reunited with my TV family.

"Working on this wonderful BBC comedy doesn’t feel like work and is one of the greatest joys for us all."

The special will see all the family reunite at Christmas - with one extra family member.
