Outnumbered star Ramona Marquez, who played Karen Brockman on the hit BBC sitcom, has posted a bikini snap of herself looking unrecognisable from her character on the comedy.

Ramona, now 22, rose to fame in the comedy series after joining the series at the tender age of six.

Nine years after the show ended in 2014, the actress – who went on to study Mandarin and Spanish at the University of Manchester – sports a series of tattoos now, which can be seen in snaps shared to the child star's Instagram page.

In photos shared by the Karen actress earlier this week, Ramona is wearing a white two-piece bikini and sports a piercing in her belly button as well as an inking of a horse on the side of her forearm and another small tattoo of a cross on her finger.

However, the actress has kept her signature curly hair as her locks were in view while she held her phone over her face and posed in front of the mirror for the collection of pictures.

As she posted the snaps on her Instagram, the Outnumbered star penned in the caption: "Just barbie things".

And another selfie uploaded by Ramona on her Instagram story shows her sporting a white cropped vest top and black cargo trousers with more tattoos on show – including one under her bicep.

Ramona played hilariously critical tot Karen from 2007 until 2014 when the show ended.

Outnumbered returned for Christmas specials before wrapping for good in 2016.

In 2009, Ramona became the first child to win the British Comedy Award for Best Female Newcomer.

She appeared on the show alongside fellow child stars Daniel Roche, who was seven when the show began, and Tyger Drew-Honey, who was 11 at the time of the first series.

Earlier this year Daniel, who played Ben Brockman, shows off what seems to be bags of cannabis on a night out with friends during his travels around South East Asia.

In a number of snaps, the floppy-haired telly favourite pushes the airtight sealed silver package up to the camera and grins away.

He captioned the Instagram post: “No case in the Golden Triangle.”

There is no suggestion that Daniel had taken any drugs.

A friend replied to his photos with a number of smoke emojis.

Ben was known on the series for his hypothetical questions and wild stories, with him the family's energetic middle child.

And Tyger Drew-Honey, who played Jake Brockman on the series, shared a snap of himself on Instagram revealing he has recently undertaken voiceover work.

As he posted photos of himself in a recording booth on Instagram, he wrote in the caption: "Voiceover has been good to me lately. I hope some of you have some younger siblings to enjoy the new cartoon I’m doing! #actor #grateful #cartoons".
