Mummy Pig announces she is pregnant
The popular cartoon character announced the news in an interview with Richard Arnold on Good Morning Britain.
She said: “I’m excited to share that our family is getting even bigger because we’re having another baby.
“I’m due in the summer, and we’re all so excited.”
She added that she was a “little overwhelmed at the thought of having three children under five running around, but mostly just completely delighted”, and revealed they were yet to choose a name.
When asked if she had shared the news with their other children, she said: “Yes, we weren’t able to keep it a secret for long.
“Peppa knew something was going on, and she’s such a curious thing, we had to tell her before she popped.
“They’ve had the occasional wobble and worry, but they’re mostly so excited.
“Every day they ask me how big the baby is. When is it coming? Does it like dinosaurs and muddy puddles? It never stops.”
‘We’ve officially lost the plot as a nation’
Brits watching the morning news programme were left in hysterics at the news following the interview.
Taking to X, one said: “What a big day. Sir Keir meets Trump, Leicester strive for three welcome points at West Ham and now Mummy Pig announces she is pregnant.”
Another added: “Richard Arnold is not going to win a BAFTA for acting anytime soon.”
One said: “It’s a cartoon. You are talking to a cartoon.”
“Why is this news?” said another.
A third added: “We’ve officially lost the plot as a nation.”
Peppa Pig first aired in 2004 on Channel 5 Milkshake and Nick Jr and is now available in more than 180 territories along with being broadcast in over 40 languages.
