We’re Britain’s most prolific extras and have appeared on TV 2,500 times – and now our 7 year old daughter is joining us
BRITAIN’S most prolific telly extras really are role models for their seven-year-old daughter — who’s now an extra herself.
Neilum Raqia-Walker, 46, and John Walker, 50, have notched up 2,500 small screen appearances in shows including Hollyoaks, Casualty and Midsomer Murders.
They met on the set of BBC show Doctors, playing a husband and wife, in 2008 and married in 2013.
They had daughter India in February 2015.
Six days later she modelled as a Princess Charlotte lookalike and at ten months featured in horror film Ouijageist.
India has since played a child pretending to be a bank manager in a Barclays ad and been in a Twycross zoo advert.
She was recently in Hollywood blockbuster All the Old Knives, alongside Chris Pine and Thandiwe Newton.
And India played a daughter in a flashback scene, with Neilum as her mum.
Meanwhile John and Neilum, from Dudley, West Midlands, continue to be on the telly and John now also works as a first assistant director for Doctors.
He said: “I owe my life to the show. My daughter wouldn’t exist without it!”
Neilum, a part-time shop assistant who runs a chaperone agency, said: “India blows me away now with her acting. We’ll let her do it as long as she still enjoys it.”
