Peppa Pig welcomes baby sister as name and first photos revealed
The animated show, which has told the story of Peppa, Daddy Pig, Mummy Pig, and her little brother George for more than two decades, announced the pregnancy in February.
ITV's Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Arnold on Tuesday shared the first photographs of baby Evie.
Arnold said: 'Daddy Pig has just shared these pictures with me of Peppa's brand new baby sister Evie, named after Mummy Pig's Aunt Evie, she was born at 5.34am this morning.'

The gender of the baby was revealed in April when the chimneys of Battersea Power Station were lit up in pink to show Mummy Pig was expecting another girl.
The animated show later announced an hour-long screening format, Peppa Meets The Baby, which is due to come out on May 30 and will feature 10 new song-filled episodes as Peppa and George prepare for the arrival of their sister.
Evie is expected to appear on screen in the series from autumn.
A special set of stamps have also been issued to mark the 20th anniversary of the popular children's TV series featuring Peppa and her friends.
The stamps include Peppa and George, Suzy Sheep, Danny Dog, Daddy Pig, Mummy Pig, Grandpa and Granny Pig in the main set, as well as a miniature sheet showing the characters having fun at a party.
Co-created by Neville Astley and Mark Baker, from animation studio Astley Baker Davies, the series first aired in 2004 on Channel 5 Milkshake and Nick Jr.
It has since been broadcast in more than 40 languages and is available in over 180 territories.
It was acquired by toy company Hasbro in 2019 as part of its purchase of Entertainment One's brands.
Good Morning Britain can be watched on weekdays from 6am on ITV1, ITVX, STV & STV Player.

Star of ITV's Benidorm says she's forced to live 'couch-to-couch'
Star of ITV's Benidorm says she's forced to live 'couch-to-couch' The actress and comedian is best known for playing Janey Yorke in the ITV comedy 'I just sort of move around from couch to couch' (Image: ITV ) Comedian and actress Crissy Rock has revealed that her current work commitments have her "living like a nomad". The Liverpudlian, famed for her portrayal of Solana hotel manager Janey Yorke in ITV's hit series Benidorm, is gearing up for a fresh UK tour, which sees her lifestyle become one of "couch to couch". In an exclusive chat with the 66 year-old entertainer said: "Me, I'm like a nomad. I live from place to place to place. My wardrobe is just the boot of my car. If it wasn't for my friend, I would be living in a hostel or a cardboard box. "When I'm in Liverpool, I go and see her and I have family and that so I just sort of move around from couch to couch." Crissy delved into the reasons behind her transient lifestyle, stating: "It's just my job, it takes me everywhere." She continued: "You can't become complacent, because every job is different." Discussing her imminent tour, Crissy said that audiences will be treated to tales spanning from Christine Murray to Crissy Rock. It's been so busy she's had to schedule additional shows, she said: "It's gone berserk. I can't believe it. I'm really excited about it." For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter Article continues below "It's a journey of up and down," the acress added, saying that while she'll touch on more sombre chapters of her life, laughter will not be in short supply. Crissy remarked: "I think that's how I've coped with my life. Through humour." Crissy confessed that amidst the hustle of her solo act, she would love to see Benidorm return to screens. She said: "I've heard that the show could come back and I think that it would be brilliant if they did bring it back. "But I can't say much, but I would love it to happen. It's up to the writer, and I think that you couldn't say half of the things now. You'd have to be politically correct, so would it be the same?" Crissy is going on tour across the UK (Image: PR supplied ) "The full cast, all of them, were brilliant. We had a lovely time. I think it was so popular because people could relate to the characters. They all knew someone who was like that. They could relate to the people who were on the programme." Envisioning a possible revival plot, Crissy suggested: "I think it would be fab if Janey Yorke and Joyce Temple-Savage got back and locked horns over who was managing the Solana. That would be good, wouldn't it? Because they hated each other." Article continues below Currently, Crissy is entertaining audiences across the UK with her production, An Evening With Crissy Rock: From Bedlam To Benidorm. The show schedule extends well into Spring 2026 beyond its initial run in June 2025.

The 1% Club's tricky alphabet question knocks out a whopping 18 players – but would you have been one of them?
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE 1% Club's questions once again proved to be too much for most after one query wiped out almost a fifth of the studio. During one particularly savage round, 18 hopefuls were sent home when they failed to spot the correct sequences of letters. Did you manage to get it right? Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Lee Mack was stunned by how many people got knocked out Credit: ITV 5 There were four options to choose from Credit: ITV 5 The question knocked out 18 people Credit: ITV 5 The tricky question was a brainteaser Credit: ITV The jaw-dropping moment unfolded in series two, episode five of the hit ITV quiz show, where host Lee Mack watched in disbelief as a simple-sounding question exposed just how tricky the game can be. Players were shown four words and asked to spot the one that does not contain three consecutive letters from the alphabet. The options were, Unopenable, Understandable, Unquestionable, and Undefineable. It might look easy on the surface, but spotting sequences like 'DEF' or 'RST' hidden in the words proved harder than expected. Players had just 30 seconds to examine the words and pick out the correct answer. The answer turned out to be C, 'Unquestionable'. ' Unopenable' contains 'NOP', 'Undefineable' includes 'DEF', and 'Understandable' also hides 'RST'. That left as the only one without a consecutive alphabetical trio, making it the right answer. Eighteen contestants failed to spot it, knocking them out of the game in one fell swoop. The shock exit had jaws dropping in the studio. Host Lee Mack kept his cool, but couldn't hide his surprise as players who had breezed through earlier rounds were taken out by the sneaky wording. The question came late in the game, reserved for the sharpest minds — but it still managed to trip up even the most confident contestants. Previously, a whopping 20 players were wiped out in a brutally challenging picture question. The result of the 30% question changed the face of the game, shedding half of the remaining current players. Lee read aloud to the group: "How many RIGHT FOOTPRINTS can you see in the sand." An image was then displayed showcasing an assortment of footprints in the sand. Players were then given 30 seconds to differentiate between the right and left feet. The image then turned the eight right feet green in order to correctly display which of the options the players should have been looking at. The 1% Club airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
