Peppa Pig becomes a big sister after Mummy Pig gives birth to new baby
Peppa Pig's Mummy Pig has given birth to her latest little piglet.
The cartoon character has welcomed her newborn in news revealed on UK daytime show Good Morning Britain.
Entertainment reporter Richard Arnold, 55, told how Daddy Pig had informed him of the happy news at 5.30am, shortly before the daytime show hit screens.
He then revealed the little one's name was Evie, with the adorable character completing the family.
He said: 'It brings me great joy to announce she's here.
'It's a beautiful thing like I say Daddy Pig has just shared these pictures with me.
'Named after Mummy Pig's aunt Evie.'
Last month, the gender of Peppa's mum's unborn piglet was revealed.

At the time, Richard cut live to Mummy Pig revealing that the parent - 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', were expecting another baby this summer.
Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig are already parents to Peppa, four, and George, two. Speaking live from Peppatown earlier this year, 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.
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!'
Viewers can expect to see the new baby on screen in the autumn.
Peppa Pig first aired in 2004 and has since been broadcast in 180 territories - including Australia where it airs on ABC Kids - and translated into 40 languages.
Now it's spawned books, toys and even two theme parks, with the global Peppa empire now worth over A$2 billion.

‘Tell the truth': Cruz Beckham speaks out with cryptic message amid family feud
David Beckham's youngest son has spoken out and left the most telling sign yet of the feud that's reportedly tearing the family apart at the seams. Tensions between Brooklyn Beckham and his wife, Nicola Peltz, and Brooklyn's parents have been ongoing since their wedding in 2022. Things have come to a head in recent months, with Brooklyn and Nicola failing to attend his father's 50th birthday celebrations, and not being seen with the family in months. Now, Brooklyn's youngest brother, Cruz, has appeared to urge one of the clan to 'tell the truth' in a telling post on Instagram which he shared publicly. Written on top of a blurry picture that appeared to be his forehead and hair was: 'It takes 43 muscles in your face to frown, and 17 to smile. Be kind and tell the truth.' Sadly for David and Victoria, the bitter feud is showing no sign of coming to an end, with Brooklyn and Nicola flying into London earlier this week for work. Despite being just miles from his family home, the couple reportedly neglected to tell them they were even in the country at the time. Meanwhile, Nicola and Brooklyn's 2022 Florida nuptials were overshadowed by rampant rumours the bride was feuding with Victoria over her and Brooklyn's first dance, her wedding dress and more. Brooklyn denied the rumoured rift in a Variety interview, claiming 'everyone gets along, which is good.' Peltz, similarly, insisted there was 'not a feud' that same year while pointing out that 'no family is perfect.' The young couple has not been pictured with Brooklyn's parents or siblings since Christmas. 'In some ways, this is no surprise, but I guess no one could believe they would actually snub David's 50th when there were so many events they could have gone to, or ways to spend time with the family … their behaviour has been appalling,' the source said. Brooklyn failed to turn up for any of his father's festivities, which culminated in a star-studded party in London on Saturday night with guests including Tom Cruise. 'David and Victoria always turn up for Brooklyn and Nicola,' the source told Page Six, 'Whether it's for the launch of his hot sauce brand or her movie premiere. This is just very sad.' 'Brooklyn's family adores him and will always be there for him. They just can't deal with this nonsense anymore,' the source said. 'David and Victoria just want Brooklyn to remember who he is because this behaviour isn't him and isn't how he was raised.'

UK comedian and actor Russell Brand pleads not guilty to rape and sex assault charges
British actor-comedian Russell Brand has pleaded not guilty in a London court to charges of rape and sexual assault involving four women more than two decades ago. Brand, once one of Britain's most high-profile broadcasters and the former husband of US pop singer Katy Perry, appeared at Southwark Crown Court and denied all five criminal charges on Friday, local time. He has consistently denied having non-consensual sex since allegations were first aired two years ago. British prosecutors announced in April that Brand had been charged with two counts of rape, one count of indecent assault, and two counts of sexual assault against four women between 1999 and 2005. Prosecutors said the alleged offences took place in the English seaside town of Bournemouth and London. Brand did not speak to reporters as he arrived at court wearing dark sunglasses, a suit jacket, a black collared shirt open below his chest and black jeans. The 49-year-old is accused of raping a woman at a hotel room in Bournemouth when she attended a 1999 Labour Party conference and met him at an event where he was performing. The woman alleged that Brand stripped while she was in the bathroom and when she returned to the room he pushed her on the bed, removed her underwear and raped her. A second woman said Brand allegedly grabbed her forearm and attempted to drag her into a men's toilet at a television station in London in 2001. The third accuser was a television employee who met Brand at a birthday party in a bar in 2004, where he allegedly grabbed her breasts before pulling her into a toilet and forcing her to perform oral sex. The final accuser worked at a radio station and met Brand while he was working on a spin-off of the 'Big Brother' reality television program between 2004 and 2005. She said Brand allegedly grabbed her by the face with both hands, pushed her against a wall and kissed her before groping her breasts and buttocks. The accusers have not been identified. The UK actor, who previously gave his address as being in England but also lives in the US, is due to stand trial in June 2026. Brand was granted conditional bail earlier in May, and currently lives in Florida but is obliged to attend all future court appearances. He had been interviewed by police about the allegations. In a video posted on X in April after he was charged, Brand said he welcomed the opportunity to prove his innocence. Known for his unbridled and risque stand-up routines, Brand hosted shows on radio and television and wrote memoirs charting his battles with drugs and alcohol. In recent years, Brand has largely disappeared from mainstream media but has built up a large following online with videos mixing wellness and conspiracy theories. AP/Reuters
