Now, the former child star looks unrecognizable and has put her acting career on hold to focus on being a mother to her four-year-old daughter, Frankie.
Miffy’s natural red hair is now jet black and partially shaved and she has many tattoos and body modifications.
The mother of one appears to work as a model and describes herself on her Instagram: “Short, loud and almost ridiculous.” Hot mom. Always overdressed. All grown up.’

Miffy Englefield, from West Sussex, was just six years old when she played Graham’s eldest daughter Jude’s character Sophie, but she is now a mother-of-one and has had a punk transformation.
‘I’m a mother now, I have a three-year-old boy. I feel like that’s the biggest change. “I have a fantastic daughter,” Miffy told MailOnline (pictured recreating the iconic Amanda Wood photo)
Miffy told MailOnline last year: “I think I’ve changed quite a bit since I was six, I think a lot of people have, but especially me.” It wasn’t until I started doing TikTok that I started getting recognized.
‘I’m a mother now, I have a three-year-old boy. I feel like that’s the biggest change. “I have a fantastic daughter and I am in a very, very lucky position to be able to stay at home with her until school starts, which is not far away at all.”
She laughed: “It makes me feel very, very old every time I remember it.”
Now she has found fame in a new way as a content creator on TikTok, where she has 74,000 followers: the child star makes videos with her partner Alex Whivley-Conway and their little daughter, Frankie.
Miffy began her TikTok journey during the pandemic, which she described as a “really strange time” to have a baby.
She explained: ‘I live quite far away from the rest of my family so I was quite isolated. I’m really interested in fashion and stuff these days and I decided I was going to start making little videos and then it all grew from there.
‘I’d start talking a little bit about holidays and I do a lot of second-hand shopping and things like that. “It’s been fabulous, I’ve met so many lovely people through it and I love, love posting there.”
‘I was a rather unusual six-year-old boy. I was very extravagant and overconfident, I think the best way is to describe it.
At the time, she “didn’t really understand the speed” of what she was doing; For the young woman, it was another “excuse to act.”
Miffy’s natural red hair is now jet black and partially shaved and she now has many tattoos and body modifications.
While she is frozen in time as a child on our screens, she is now all grown up at 25 and has a daughter of her own.
As a big fan of Christmas, Miffy loves being a part of the festive memories and experiences of people around the world and also shares updates from her life now on TikTok.
He added: “But it was very surreal, you know, we come from quite a poor background and we live in a council house.”
“It was very, very different to the life my father and I knew and being on a film set was very surreal.
Recalling filming alongside stars like Jude and Cameron, he said: “It was lovely.” I mean, I couldn’t have asked for a better deal and neither could my dad.
“We got along very, very well with everyone and they always dedicated time to us both off and on screen.
Miffy described her on-screen father as “fantastic, funny and kind.”
She said: “I remember one time on set we were all telling each other tongue twisters for about half an hour and we thought it was really funny.”
“He was very patient with us and there was no separation between doing the work and hanging out with us; they didn’t have to do that at all, but they did.”
And he concluded: ‘I couldn’t have asked for better people to work with this. It was easily my best experience on any film set.”

She joked: ‘Oh, it’s so strange.’ A couple of years ago I was sent a photo of Khloe Kardashian watching the vacation. That’s crazy, it’s ridiculous.
‘I received a message on Instagram a few years ago from a lady who was getting married and loved The Holiday so much that in her wedding book, “The People Signed”, she had her and her partner recreate The Holiday sign. , which leaves me speechless.
‘It’s absolutely crazy. My dad and I didn’t realize how big the movie was going to be at home.
“So getting messages 20 years later, what makes me feel incredibly old, is that people are looking forward to it.” It’s like their Christmas tradition, they come home to their family and that’s what they see.
‘It baffles me, it’s absolutely crazy and I love it. I love being a small part of people’s Christmas traditions. I think it’s so sweet.’
His daughter Frankie saw the film “as soon as she could talk” and it has become a running joke in the family; however, she herself has not seen it in a few years as she struggles with “shrinking” herself as a child.
