The animated show first aired in 2004 and has since been broadcast in 180 territories and translated into 40 languages.
Now it's spawned books, toys and even two theme parks, with the global Peppa empire now worth over £1billion.
Mummy pig announced her pregnancy in February and last week a glamourous gender reveal confirmed a baby sister will be joining the family.
And now there's even more news for fans to get their head around - because Peppa isn't our favourite pig's real name.
Adding more excitement to the pregnancy storyline, Good Find Toys have revealed her fully name is actually Pepperius Peppa Pig.
Fans flocked to social media with the find and one said: "Peppa Pig's real name being Pepperius Peppa Pig is making me scream!"
Another couldn't contain their excitement and added: "DID YOU KNOW "Peppa" is Peppa Pig's middle name and her full name is Pepperius Peppa Pig'
"Do you know Peppa Pig's real name? it's actually Papperius Peppa Pig!'
"Peppa Pigs full name is Pepperius Peppa Pig. You learn something new every day."
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, the big reveal came on ITV's Good Morning Britain.
Showbiz correspondent Richard Arnold cut live to Mummy Pig, revealing that Mummy Pig and her husband Daddy Pig 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.
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!'
As they wrapped up the interview, sneaking into shot Peppa Pig eagerly joined her mother to say goodbye to the camera as Mummy Pig smiled: 'Bye for now!'

Last batch of rare final Queen Elizabeth II £1 coins entering circulation
More than 23 million Queen coins are being released alongside 7.5 million new King Charles III £1 coins. The Royal Mint said the last of the Elizabeth II coins, dated 2022, are the rarest £1 coins in active circulation. The late Queen died in 2022 but her coins remain in circulation (Victoria Jones/PA) The historic transition – with the dual release of almost 31 million coins – represents a significant moment for UK coinage, as the nation witnesses the changeover from Britain's longest-reigning monarch to her son and heir on the £1 denomination, the Royal Mint said. The Queen's £1 coins will be the final ones bearing Elizabeth II's portrait to enter circulation. Rebecca Morgan, director of commemorative coin at the Royal Mint, said: 'This release represents a pivotal moment in British coinage history. The reverse side of the new Queen Elizabeth II £1 coin (Royal Mint/PA) 'As we release more of the King Charles III £1 coins into circulation alongside the final coins of Queen Elizabeth II, we're witnessing the physical representation of our monarchy's transition. 'This dual release creates an exceptional opportunity for both seasoned numismatists and those new to coin collecting.' The Royal Mint is encouraging the public to check its change over the coming weeks, as the new coins begin to appear in pockets and tills across the nation. The King Charles III £1 coins in production (Royal Mint/PA) Ms Morgan added: 'Finding these new coins in your change could spark a rewarding hobby that connects you with the heritage, history and craftsmanship behind British currency.' Since the introduction of the King's effigy on UK coinage in 2023, the 50p and £1 are the only denominations with Charles's portrait to have entered circulation so far. The King's £1 coins feature an intricate bee design on the reverse and are part of the Definitive collection, inspired by the flora and fauna of the British Isles. Some 2.975 million £1s with the King's effigy were released in August last year. The King Charles III coins being struck at the Royal Mint (Royal Mint/PA) In total, there are around 24.7 billion coins in circulation across the UK, with the King's coins representing only around 0.004% of those, making his new coins highly desirable to collectors. All UK coins bearing the Queen's portrait will remain legal tender and in active circulation to allow a smooth transition and minimise the environmental impact and cost.

Late Queen ‘refused to open airport terminal' after relative stopped with guns
Lord Ivar Mountbatten, a first cousin once removed of Prince Philip, the late Duke of Edinburgh, revealed he was prevented from taking his shotguns on a flight from Bristol to Aberdeen. He told Gyles Brandreth's Rosebud podcast how a 'sweet check-in lady' told him the hold was accessible from the cabin so they would not be secure, despite him telling a manager: 'The Queen's sending me a car and she's expecting me for tea.' In the end, his guns were left in the police armory at the airport and Lord Ivar took the flight to Scotland to join the Queen for the shooting weekend in the Highlands. Later that day at Balmoral, when he recounted the tale to the Queen, it led to her 'getting rather irritated' and dispatching her equerry to arrange transportation of the guns, Lord Ivar said. The aristocrat, who is also Elizabeth II's distant cousin, told Brandreth: 'She said…'I would like Lord Ivar's guns to be up here tomorrow morning. Please see to it'. 'Whereupon she turns back to me and she looks at me over her glasses with a glint in her eye and she says 'They want me to open their new terminal'. She says 'I don't think I will now'.' The Queen and Prince Philip at Balmoral Castle in 2005 (David Cheskin/PA) Lord Ivar added: 'So every time I go back to Bristol Airport now, it was opened by the Princess Royal, I have a quiet laugh to myself.' Anne first opened a terminal building at Bristol Airport in 2000, and later opened a terminal extension in 2015. Lord Ivar, whose great-uncle was Earl Mountbatten, this year appeared in the third season of the reality show The Traitors US.
