Earlier this year Ramona and her co-stars Daniel Roche and Tyger Drew-Honey shocked fans when they posed for a picture together – looking completely unrecognisable.

Daniel (Ben) was seven and Tyger (Jake) was 11 when they first started on the sitcom which was based on the kids of Pete and Sue.

In the image Daniel, who is now 16, looks like he has been putting in some serious hours down the gym while Tyger , 20 , looks suave in his unbuttoned shirt.

Ramona has however grown up the most – with dark winged eye liner and gold hoop earrings a regular fixture in her selfies.
