Posing for a swanky shoot, the beloved star reveals in a world exclusive interview that she is expecting a... baby girl!
Speaking to the fortnightly publication, Mummy Pig announced: "Well, I suppose I can tell you that Peppa and George will soon have a new baby… sister! We're all incredibly excited to meet her when she arrives in summer."
Quizzed on names, she added that she still hasn't decided on the perfect moniker.
Name Game
She told Grazia: We've got SO many ideas for names. Too many, frankly! Oink! Knowing it's a girl has narrowed our options down a bit – I'm not sure Peter, Percy or Patrick Pig really work as girls' names!
"But it's too difficult to choose now. When she's here and looking up at me and Daddy Pig, we'll just know the perfect name. That's what we did when Peppa and George were born."
After making her gender reveal on the pages of the style bible, Mummy Pig's fanfare didn't end there.
It was announced earlier today that Battersea power station would either be lit up pink or blue this afternoon once the news was announced.
Pig announcement
Mummy Pig's pregnancy first made waves back in February when it was announced she was having another bundle of joy.
In news that delighted millions of fans of the much-loved cartoon sensation, the big reveal came on ITV 's Good Morning Britain.
Showbiz correspondent Richard Arnold cut live to Mummy Pig, revealing that Mummy Pig, whose job involves doing "very important work" on her computer, and her husband Daddy Pig, who "takes big numbers, transmutes them and calculates their load-bearing tangents", are expecting another baby this summer.

Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig are already parents to Peppa, four, and George, two, but will be adding to their brood very soon.
Speaking live from Peppatown, Mummy Pig exclusively revealed: 'Well, I'm excited to share that our family is getting even bigger because... We're having another baby!' as she held up a scan picture to camera for viewers to see.
Due Date
Showing off her baby bump, she continued: 'I'm due in the summer and we're all so excited…'
Despite this, she added: 'A little overwhelmed at the thought of having three children under five running around, but mostly just completely delighted.'
Asked if she had already shared the news with Peppa and George, Mummy Pig replied: 'Oh 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 Muddy Puddles and dinosaurs... It never stops!'
Mummy Pig then went on to tell Richard how they hadn't thought of a name for the baby at the time, but she thinks they'll 'find the right name once the baby is here' with the host suggesting either Richard or Kate, after Kate Garraway, 57.
As they wrapped up the interview, sneaking into shot Peppa Pig eagerly joined Mummy Pig to say goodbye to the camera as Mummy Pig beamed: 'Bye for now!'.

Jade Thirlwall admits 'daily battle' to not take Ozempic after cruel comments
Singer Jade Thirlwall has revealed that in the past, she has considered taking Ozempic after some social media users shared cruel comments about her weight Jade Thirlwall has revealed she's facing a 'daily battle' to not take Ozempic after receiving comments on social media about her weight. The 32-year-old has previously been open about her years of struggling with eating disorders, and despite being the healthiest she's ever been, she's still having to deal with scrutiny about her weight. But in a heartfelt admission, the Plastic Box songstress has revealed that she's considered medication in the past to deal with her weight. Speaking in a new interview, former Little Mix singer Jade said: 'I have a daily battle with myself not to go on Ozempic. 'I don't judge people that do, but because I have a history of eating disorders, I don't know where taking something like that would end for me. 'Now I'm in my 30s and the healthiest I've ever been, but every time I post a picture, there are comments saying, 'She must be pregnant.'' It comes after one TV star admitted she sleeps in separate bed to partner as she fumes over pregnancy. Jade added to The Guardian: 'The sad thing is that it's usually women. But people are used to seeing me in a group environment five or 10 years ago when I was stick-thin because I was in my early 20s with an eating disorder.' Although some people use Ozempic to aid weight loss, it is not licensed for this and should only be used by people with diabetes to aid their symptoms. This isn't the first time the ITV star has opened up about her weight struggles and the constant scrutiny about whether she's pregnant. Her Little Mix bandmates Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock have gone on to have children, and fans are constantly asking her when she'll become a mum. The singer, who has been dating Rizzle Kicks star Jordan Stephens for five years, said she finds the speculation about her being pregnant 'invasive'. She starred on ITV's The Assembly earlier this year and expressed: 'The thing that annoys me the most is 'Am I going to have children, am I pregnant? 'I find it weird that people ask that, as they don't know what my circumstances are. You don't know if someone can't have children, they don't want to or aren't ready yet." She shot to fame on The X Factor in 2011, where she and the rest of Little Mix became the first female group to win the show and went on to have a successful career before the band went on a hiatus in 2021. Jade launched her own solo career last year with hit single Angel of My Dreams, which won best song at this year's Brit Awards. This year alone she's performed at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend Liverpool, Capital's Summertime Ball, Glastonbury and BBC Proms. During her Glastonbury set in June, Jade took the opportunity to give a shoutout to her former bandmates Perrie and Leigh-Anne as she got emotional. Jesy Nelson was also part of the group originally, before her departure in 2020. While performing at the music festival, the singer said: "Firstly, shout out to Little Mix. I can't begin to explain how grateful I am to those girls for literally changing my life and who would have thought then that we would have a Little Mix girlie up here on the Glastonbury stage. But I can't lie, it feels good doing my own songs that I've written from my heart." She continued: "That was the old me, now it's time for something new." She then told the crowd she would bring out some special guests, as she welcomed Confidence Man to the stage. Jade also used her performance to boldly express her disdain for Reform UK while delivering a rousing rendition of her hit FUFN. The track, an acronym for 'F*** you for now', features a segment where JADE reels off a list of things she'd like to give the middle finger to. During her set, she chanted: "Reform! Transphobia! Selling arms! Genocide!", with the crowd echoing back a resounding "F*** you."
