One glance at the Instagram page of a budding tattoo artist called Ramona Marquez is enough to show she's working hard to make a name for herself. There are sketches of flowers, foliage and barbed wire – the latter her first successful commission for a client – for those who (in her words) 'want to join her tattoo journey'.

With her own designs – including a fire-breathing dragon to mark her 18th birthday – inked liberally over her torso, legs and arms, this dark-haired 23-year-old cuts a striking figure. It is all the more striking when you consider her transformation from the cherubic-looking Karen Brockman in the BBC's hit sitcom Outnumbered.

With her blonde curls and incessant questions ('what's a sociopath?', 'why do people take pictures of their food?') Ramona proved one of the breakout stars of the comedy. Running for five series from 2007, Outnumbered followed the riotous exploits of the Brockman family: beleaguered history teacher Pete, his wife Sue and their three wayward children Jake, Ben and Karen.

Now, after an eight-year absence from our screens, the Brockmans are returning for a Christmas special. Promising a maelstrom of 'neighbours, hyenas and bus replacement services', it depicts the chaos that ensues when Sue and Pete attempt to gather their offspring – plus a new granddaughter – for a traditional family Christmas.

Fans would expect nothing less, of course. But the adventures of the show's real-life stars have proven every bit as colourful as their onscreen antics: from brushes with gangsters and allegations of drug use to marital breakdown and bold statements on sexuality. It's certainly safe to say that these mischievous youngsters are all grown up – as Ramona goes to show.
