Ramona played the youngest sibling in the Brockman family and is now studying Mandarin and Spanich at the University of Manchester.

The actress looks very different now to how she did in her younger days – sporting red hair and impressive tattoos.

The star, a world away from her angel-faced character, got inked not long after her 18th birthday with a huge dragon tattoo across her arm.

Ramona now rocks a long red bob with wispy fringe which is a far cry from her days in Outnumbered, where she had curly blonde hair and a mischievous twinkle in her eye.

Ramona shot to fame after landing the role of Karen in 2007 in BBC sitcom Outnumbered, aged just six years old.

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.

The following year she starred as Princess Margaret in The King’s Speech alongside Colin Firth and Bonham Carter again.

Just last year, the child stars of Outnumbered reunited for the first time in forever – and they even documented it for fans.

Ramona and her former co-stars, Daniel Roche and Tyger Drew-Honey enjoyed a lunch date together.

The trio shocked fans with their changing appearances, with many stunned to see Daniels’s notable growth spurt.

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

She had  hundreds of items listed for sale on the second-hand website, including jumpers, dresses, skirts and bras.

To fund her social life around her studies – settling into a Spanish and Mandarin course – Ramona appears to be selling all of her old things.

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

Ramona can be seen modelling each the clothes for potential shoppers in hundreds of snaps, having sold over 450 items.

Items of clothing including old sweatshirts, flared jeans and dragon-printed belts have already been snapped up by hungry clothes buyers.

Those still left to be bought – from as little as £4 – include a see-through mesh shirt, leather boots and a black patterned sports bra.

Ramona could have already raked in thousands of pounds from the second hand site thanks to the success of her profile.
