Peppa Pig has new baby sister as Mummy Pig gives birth in same maternity ward as Kate Middleton
The animated show has told the story of Peppa, who lives with Daddy Pig, Mummy Pig, and her little brother George for more than two decades – but in February, it was announced that Mummy Pig was expecting another baby, with the gender revealed to be a girl in April.
Viewers can expect to see the new baby on screen in the autumn, but the animated show has announced that Peppa Meets The Baby, an hour-long cinema special, will be released in theatres on 30 May.

On Tuesday's Good Morning Britain, it was announced that Mummy Pig gave birth at 5.34am to a baby girl named Evie – in honour of Mummy Pig's aunt.
The show said Mummy Pig 'welcomed' the baby at the Lindo Wing in London. Mummy Pig has been portrayed by actress and comedian Morwenna Banks, while Amelia Bea Smith has been the voice of Peppa Pig since 2020.
The exclusive maternity ward at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington is where Kate Middleton gave birth to all three of her children with prices starting at £5,900 a night and escalating to £7,500 for a deluxe package.
Peppa and her brother George are said to be thrilled by the arrival of their new baby sister, while Mummy and Daddy Pig are 'looking forward to lots of happy snorts and sleepless nights'.
Good Morning Britain revealed that 'understandably, Mummy Pig is resting but Daddy Pig has let me know he will be free to catch up next week for his first ever TV interview and another glimpse of the new baby.'
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.
Co-created by Neville Astley and Mark Baker, from animation studio Astley Baker Davies, the series has inspired theme parks in the UK and elsewhere as well as being featured on collectable Royal Mail stamps.
It was acquired by toy company Hasbro in 2019 as the part of them buying Entertainment One's brands.
