Peppa Pig legacy
PEPPA Pig 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.
Creators Neville Astley and Mark Baker admitted they were initially worried the idea would never get off the ground, and that people at first, were bored of the idea.
Astley explained: "People in the pub would ask us, 'What are you drawing?' We'd say, 'A pig, called Peppa, it's going to be big'.
'They'd lose interest and wander off."
The iconic family car has been given an upgrade with this buy and kids can open the doors, boot and bonnet and will even find all of baby Evie's baby gear inside.

What to watch out for when buying toys online
HERE are the British Toy and Hobby Association's top tips for buying toys online:
Shop early.
Don't leave purchases to the last minute rush which might leave you fewer options of where to buy from.
Check out third-party sellers.
Look for sellers you recognise and trust. Be cautious of retailers you don't know and do your research checking reviews and where they're based.
Go for branded toys.
Try and choose a branded toy as then you can compare it to the manufacturer's own website to check it's legit.
Be careful of going for the cheapest price.
If something looks too good to be true, it probably is.
Check if there are any age restrictions.
Make sure you give suitable toys to children based on their age.
Check reviews carefully.
Some reviews are fake so look carefully at the comments.
Stay with children at first.
When your child opens a toy for the first time, stay with them and check for faults, detachable small parts, access to stuffing and loose or accessible batteries or magnets.

Sabrina Carpenter hits back at criticism of new cover art
Sabrina Carpenter has responded to criticism claiming the cover art of Man's Best Friend would be 'reducing women to pets'. Carpenter announced the release of her seventh studio record on June 11 via Instagram: 'My new album, 'Mans Best Friend' is out on August 29, 2025.' The cover shows the singer on her knees, dressed in black, with her hair being pulled by an unidentified man. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sabrina Carpenter (@sabrinacarpenter) Glasgow Womens Aid, a charity that supports women, children and young people experiencing domestic abuse, criticised her choice of imagery on the record cover. In a Facebook post (June 12), the organisation said the following: 'Sabrina Carpenters new album cover isnt edgy, its regressive. Picturing herself on all fours, with a man pulling her hair and calling it Mans Best Friend isnt subversion. Its a throwback to tired tropes that reduce women to pets, props, and possessions and promote an element of violence and control.' In a recent interview with Rolling Stone , Carpenter shared her thoughts on the backlash Man's Best Friend received, saying the criticism is unjustified. 'I don't want to be pessimistic, but I truly feel like Ive never lived in a time where women have been picked apart more, and scrutinised in every capacity. Im not just talking about me. Im talking about every female artist that is making art right now,' said Carpenter. 'I'm living in the glory of no one hearing it or knowing about it, and so I can not care,' she added. 'I can not give a fuck about it, because I'm just so excited.' The singer released the lead single of her new record, 'Manchild' on June 5, with Man's Best Friend coming out August 29.

Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher FINALLY finalise divorce after toxic split as they carve up £120m fortune
SACHA Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher have finalised their £120 million pound divorce – 14 months after publicly announcing their separation. In a message, posted simultaneously on both their Instagram sites on Friday , the pair said: 'Our divorce has now been finalised. 6 Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher have finalised their divorce Credit: Getty 6 The pair announced their split over a year ago with a funny post 6 Sacha and Isla shared the same statement today "We are proud of all we've achieved together and, continuing our great respect for each other, we remain friends and committed to co-parenting our wonderful children. "We ask for the media to continue to respect our children's privacy.' They then publicly announced their break-up the following year. More on Isla Fisher They appear to have amicably resolved any differences there might have been between them. This is despite previous suggestions the couple's divorce may have been turning acrimonious as they carved up their estimated eight-figure fortune. A source said: 'It's all sorted. Now Sacha and Isla both just want to get on with the rest of their lives – and focus on their family's well-being.' Baron Cohen, 53, and Fisher, 49, - who have three children together - first met at a party in Sydney , Australia in 2001. Most read in Celebrity Speaking of their first encounter, Baron Cohen recalled that Fisher was "hilarious". He remembered: "We were at a very pretentious party, and me and her bonded over taking the mick out of the other people at the party. I knew instantly. I don't know if she did." The pair announced the separation last year with a picture of themselves wearing tennis whites, noting: "After a long tennis match lasting over 20 years, we are finally putting our racquets down." "We have always prioritized our privacy and have been quietly working through this change. We forever share in our devotion and love for our children. We sincerely appreciate your respecting our family's wish for privacy." Baron Cohen also became embroiled in some controversy last year when Australian actress film The Brothers Grimsby, where they played a slovenly married couple. All The signs Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher had secretly split from girls' nights out to hiding ring finger However, the publisher had not fact-checked the claims in advance – and they lacked substance. Baron Cohen's legal team then supplied video footage of one scene in question, plus email exchanges, script excerpts and testimony from producers and crew members, which illustrated that the scenes were actually all part of the script . As a result, the unfounded claims were removed wholesale from the autobiography in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. In a statement at the time, Baron Cohen said: 'While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of The Brothers Grimsby.' Baron Cohen first rose to fame in the 1990s with his Ali G character, the infamous spoof wannabe gangster who became a comedy star. He also starred as Borat, a journalist from Kazakhstan, and played the role of flamboyant Austrian fashionista Bruno . 6 Isla shares three children with Sacha Credit: islafisher/Instagram 6 The pair first met in 2021 Credit: Getty Fellow actor Fisher appeared as Shannon Reed in long-running Australian soap Home and Away before moving to the big screen. Her breakthrough role came in Wedding Crashers in 2005, and she also starred in Confessions of a Shopaholic. She has also had a series of children's books published. Speaking earlier this year of their break-up, Fisher said: 'It's the most difficult thing that I've been through and I've learnt so much about myself in the process. I never imagined my family being separated but we are committed and loving parents.' Suggestions last year that the timing of the separation may have been linked to Wilson's unfounded claims also proved wrong – in fact Baron Cohen and Fisher had separated long before Wilson's book was published. A film source said: 'The idea that Rebel's claims had anything to do with the timing of the separation or announcement of Sacha and Isla's break-up was always plain wrong.' 6 The pair denied Rebel's claims had anything to do with the split Credit: Getty All the signs Isla and Sacha had secretly split The couple have revealed they actually split last year, despite only just revealing their divorce. Here we look at the Social media silence - Sacha has been absent from Instagram since last Christmas. Spending time with friends - Isla has been been following that classic post break-up move of spending more time with her girlfriends. Hidden ring finger - No fans noticed at the time, but in many Instagram shots from this year, Isla has hidden her right hand so her wedding finger was not visible in many shots. Missing man - The last image Isla shared of her and Sacha prior to the divorce announcement was back in November last year.
