Read our privacy policy Daddy, what’s a twat?” Ramona Marquez was just five years old when she uttered this line – surely the stuff of every parent’s nightmares – in the 2007 pilot of Outnumbered on BBC One. “It’s classic Outnumbered chaos,” Marquez, now 23, tells me from a shed in the garden of the home she shares with her girlfriend in southeast London. “Ramona Marquez looks worlds away from Karen Brockman and shows off HUGE tattoos” was one typical headline earlier this year. “I just think, well, you wouldn’t want to appeal to those kind of people anyway.” During the filming of Outnumbered, Marquez notched up a handful of other childhood screen credits; she appeared in the 2009 TV movie Enid about the life of Enid Blyton, and in the 2010 Colin Firth film The King’s Speech as a young Princess Margaret.
