Peppa Pig's mum gives birth to new baby and shares adorable name
The joyful news was shared on Good Morning Britain, where it was announced that the newborn, named Evie, was delivered at 5.34am. Fans of the beloved animated family have been following the pregnancy journey closely ever since Mummy Pig stunned viewers back in February, making the surprise announcement live on Good Morning Britain that she was expecting again.
Since then, the buzz has only grown louder. The excitement hit new highs last month when a spectacular gender reveal party was held at London's Battersea Power Station, leaving fans squealing with delight when it was revealed a little girl was on the way.
For those wondering where baby Evie made her grand entrance - the Peppa Pig family spared no expense. Mummy Pig welcomed her third child at the Lindo Wing in London - the same location where Kate Middleton gave birth to all three of her children, George, Charlotte, and Louis, Mirror UK reports.
Mummy Pig delivered at the ultra-exclusive maternity ward at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, where a single night starts at £5,900 (€7,012), with top-tier deluxe packages priced at £7,500 (€8,914).
Back at home, big brother George and big sister Peppa are said to be 'over the moon' and counting down the moments until they can cuddle their new sibling. As for the proud parents, Mummy and Daddy Pig shared that they're 'looking forward to lots of happy snorts and sleepless nights.'
And fans won't have to wait long to join the celebration themselves. A brand-new cinema special, Peppa Meets the Baby, lands in over 2,600 cinemas across 19 countries - including Ireland - on May 30. The hour-long musical event will include 10 brand-new episodes, following Peppa and George as they get ready to welcome their baby sister.
Ahead of the big screen release, the gender reveal episode premiered on the Peppa Pig Tales YouTube channel on May 3, giving fans an early look at the moment that had everyone squealing with excitement.
With Evie's safe arrival, celebrations have erupted across social media as long-time fans welcome the newest member of Peppa's piggy family. One fan wrote: "Evie is such a beautiful name. Peppa and George will be so happy to have another baby sister and my children are going to love watching it even more."
"Why am I emotional over a cartoon pig giving birth. This is so sweet," someone else quipped. "Peppa and Evie!!!! That is the cutest thing ever. Love this for Mummy Pig."
Since its debut in 2004, Peppa Pig has become a global phenomenon, airing in 180 regions, translated into 40 languages, and spawning a billion-pound empire of books, toys, and theme parks.

Rebecca Loos: 'Disappointing' Celebrity SAS interrogation focused on Beckham
Former model Rebecca Loos said it was a "little bit disappointing" that her interrogation on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins focused on her alleged affair with David Beckham. Loos, who is now a yoga instructor living in Norway, made headline news when she claimed in a kiss-and-tell interview that Beckham had cheated on his wife Victoria with her. The 48-year-old appears on the latest season of Channel 4's Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, where she was asked about the alleged affair. Of this experience, Loos told ITV's Good Morning Britain:"It was a little bit disappointing that there was so much focus on that in the interrogation room, because I really did think that going in, there was an opportunity for them to get to know me, and that was a very small part of my life, so, but it is what it is." The former footballer has always maintained that Loos's allegations of an affair are "ludicrous". Asked whether the interrogation on the reality show was a "final learning curve" that her association with Beckham will never fade as that is what she is best known for, Loos said she recognised that that was true. She continued: "The reason I spoke out back in the day, and we don't need to talk about this this morning because we don't need to focus on that. "We're here for SAS. "But the one thing I will say for me, it was always about the truth. "It was always about being truthful for the truth to be revealed and I feel that that is one of the reasons why it won't go away." Loos went on to shut down another question from Good Morning Britain host Richard Madeley who asked whether she "blamed him" for denying the alleged affair. "I think we should focus on SAS," Loos said. During the interrogation on the reality show, Loos said of the alleged affair: "I think I've definitely taken most of the blame for what's happened, and rightly so. "It was part of my life, but you know, we were two, and he was older than me, and he was my boss." Loos previously said she was shocked by "horrific" trolling she received after the period was revisited in Beckham's documentary series, which launched on Netflix in 2023. Other celebrity contestants on this series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins include the Traitor's winner Harry Clark, musician Lady Leshurr and former Premier League Footballer Troy Deeney. Airing across eight one-hour episodes, the seventh series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, which started on 3 August, is available to watch on Channel 4 every Sunday and Monday from 9pm.

Katy Perry forced to pay huge fine after filming music video in ‘protected area' in Spain
KATY Perry has been forced to pay a huge fine after filming a music video in a 'protected area' in Spain. The music star was filming for her 2024 single LIFETIMES, but not all went to plan. 5 Katy Perry has been forced to pay a huge fine Credit: Getty 5 The singer filmed a music video in a 'protected area' in Spain Credit: Katy Perry / Youtube 5 The video was filmed in Spain in July last year Credit: Katy Perry / Youtube 5 Katy Perry starring in her LIFETIMES music video Credit: Katy Perry / Youtube The 40-year-old filmed the music video in the Ses Salines Natural Park on the Balearic Islands, but this led to outrage amongst the locals at the time. Katy filmed in July last year, and has now been slapped with a hefty fine. At the time, the Balearic Islands government said an investigation is underway after it was discovered that Katy's video was filmed in a protected area without necessary permissions. In a press release, the environmental agency clarified that "in no case had the production company" taken permission to shoot the video in the Ses Salines National Park. Read More on Katy Perry PARENTING DEBATE Orlando Bloom blasted as an 'idiot' for 'inappropriate' snap of Daisy, 4 Parts of Katy's Lifetime video were reportedly filmed within the dunes on the islet of S'Espalmador, located within the Unesco World Heritage nature reserve that spans the islands of Ibiza and Formentera. The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and the Natural Environment said a preliminary investigation for possible environmental damage had been launched against the production company WeOwnTheCity. Now, it's been revealed that the production company behind the video has been slapped with a €6,001 (£5,197) fine, according to Majorca Daily Bulletin. Officials have said that as there was no lasting damage to the area, there will be no additional penalties handed out, despite it being a 'serious' offence. In the Lifetimes music video, directed by Stillz, Katy can be seen cliff jumping, dancing on a beach, and partying at popular nightlife spots on the islands. Chris Pratt dragged into Katy Perry's bitter legal row after he rented $15m home The video also includes a series of postcards from what appear to be filming locations including Ibiza and Formentera, where the national park is located. Lifetimes is the second single from Katy's upcoming sixth studio album 143. It follows the release of the album's lead single Woman's World, which received mostly negative reviews. Fans have criticised the song's "dated" lyrics, with one person branding it "the worst thing I've ever heard." "I was rooting for Katy but these lyrics are so dated it's giving 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign material. It's over," another fan wrote on X. Several people, including actress Abigail Breslin, also called her out for collaborating with disgraced music producer Dr. Luke on the song and album. One X user wrote, "The irony of having a song praising women but you're working with Dr. Luke? Katy Perry I didn't expect this from you." Kesha accused Dr. Luke of sexually assaulting her in a 2014 lawsuit. He denied the allegations and counter-sued the TiKToK singer, with the duo settling their claims last year.
