My Parents Are Aliens cast: where are they now?

Josh was just the coolest kid, wasn't he? We're 99% sure a hefty chunk of Yorkshire Television's budget went on wet look gel, but it was totally worth it.

Alex is now a musician and joined a band called The Wutars back in 2009. Oh, and he had a reunion with his on-screen father Tony Gardner at Glastonbury 2017. Incredible. These days, Alex mainly works as a solo artist and regularly updates fans on when he's gigging on social media.

Clearly the most academic of the Barker children, Lucy was a bit of a know-it-all. Still managed to rock the pink cardi and yellow tights combo, though.

Charlotte also starred in The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries and Office Gossip hasn't appeared on TV since My Parents Are Aliens ended in 2006, instead choosing to focus on her studies. Such a Lucy Barker move, babes.

The oldest Barker sibling, Mel Barker, was the edgy-and-alternative one we always wanted to be. Like, she had a bloody nose piercing and everything.

Danielle McCormack is now in her late thirties (we are OLD) and, much like co-star Alex, went into the music industry, writing a number of songs with Killing Joke's Geordie Walker. She appeared in BBC drama Doctors in 2010 and has also starred in Where The Heart Is and Casualty.

Our greatest memory of father figure Brian is that he grew moose ears whenever he ate ice cream. Casual.

Tony Gardner's since appeared as lecturer Tony Shales in Fresh Meat_,_ as Sarah Lancashire's husband in Last Tango in Halifax and also starred with Peter Capaldi in political drama The Thick Of It. Two years ago, Tony went viral when a video of him living it up in a leopard print suit at Glastonbury surfaced online.

Remember the original Sophie? Well actress Barbara Durkin has continued her career in telly, popping up in everything from Doctors to My Family.

We're not gonna lie, our world was turned UPSIDE DOWN when Carla Mendonca replaced Barbara as Sophie in series three with very little in the way of an explanation. WTF?

As well as a lengthy kids TV career in CBBC shows My Dad's the Prime Minister, Dani's House, Scoop and So Awkward, Carla's appeared in Roman's Empire alongside Chris O'Dowd and Matthew Horne. She also recently shocked Coronation Street fans when she popped up in the ITV soap as the new Deputy Head of Weatherfield High.

Harry was adopted into the Barker family as a replacement for Mel.

Remember that prime time Saturday night show Over the Rainbow that set out to find the next Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz? Stephanie finished in fourth place, just ahead of Stephanie Davis who she managed to knock out in the sing-off. She's gone on to have a successful theatre career, with roles in the likes of Mamma Mia, Aladdin and Rent.

Also adopted into the family, Olisa joined the cast as CJ in series six.

Since the show, Olisa's graduated from Brit school and appeared in comedy show Chewing Gum. Later this month, the former child star is releasing a song called Never Change, which he describes as "Pop R&B, Sezy Harmonic, vocal stacked bedroom floor music."
