Peppa Pig and family appeared in a chaotic interview on Good Morning Britain about their newest addition to the family, Evie.
In their first interview since the birth of Evie, Daddy Pig got a little emotional as he introduced the world to his daughter.
Speaking about George and Peppa's introduction to their baby sister, Mummy Pig said: 'Oh, they could hardly contain themselves.
'But they were so gentle and sweet too. Evie did a little laugh when she saw them, didn't she? Daddy Pig?'
Daddy Pig then said with tears in his eyes: 'How could I forget? Sorry, that's me. Off again.'
Mummy Pig added: 'It's been quite an emotional week!'
Things also got slightly chaotic as the FaceTime call ended up with Peppa holding the phone at one point and with a close-up on her face as the four-year-old struggled to operate the phone call.
During the interview, Daddy Pig said: 'It's been a long, tiring and completely amazing few days.
'Everything went well, and Mummy Pig has been incredible. Peppa and George were so excited to meet their new little sister. We're excited to meet her too.'
They also spoke about the origin of their daughter's name, opting to go with something from their family history.
'Peppa had more than a few ideas for a while, she just wanted to call her baby forever. But we've decided to name her after my great aunt Evie,' said Mummy Pig.
She added: 'I think right now we're just excited to be home, aren't we?' More Trending
Daddy Pig added that the family is just looking to spend time together: 'George and Peppa are excited to play with Evie.'
Just last week Mummy and Daddy Pig spoke about the labour.
'We were very lucky—everything went smoothly, and in eight, um, 'short' hours of labour, Evie was here,' Mummy Pig said about the birth,' they told Hello!

Games Inbox: When will there be Nintendo Switch 2 console reviews?
The Wednesday letters page is surprised at Sony's provocative State of Play annoucement, as one reader finally starts to get excited about Nintendo Switch 2. To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@ No notes Pretty gutted to hear that there'll be no Nintendo Switch 2 reviews at launch but that was the rumour, so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. I don't really need a review of Mario Kart World, especially with the previews out, but I would've liked to see a detail hardware review of the console and its peripherals. Do you think it's possible a hardware focused site like Digital Foundry or a similar YouTube channel could've been sent the consoles early to review just them, and not the games? I haven't pre-ordered, but I was probably planning to pick one up this week if I can, now I don't know what to do. I don't really buy the day one update excuse (what's the betting the patch notes don't explain anything?) but I also don't know why else they'd do this. Nintendo games always review well so it's kind of worrying that they don't think these ones will. Benjy Dog GC: It's possible Nintendo could've given hardware-only outlets early access, but as far as we know everyone in Europe is in the same situation (or worse) as us. Perhaps one or two of the bigger US sites will get them earlier but we don't think so, given they haven't got them yet. Less than perfect So there we have it, officially: there will be no Nintendo Switch 2 reviews before launch and I'm guessing not until next week. Although I'm sure we'll see a bunch from more unreliable sites anyway, which is a handy opportunity to make a note of who never to listen to in the future. I think probably Nintendo is not trying to manipulate anything exactly, but I have seen a number of previews, including GC and Eurogamer, have pointed out that the open world isn't really used for much, other than messing around. This is not something I'd considered before, I just assumed it would have all sorts of extra races and things, but it seems the extra missions are pretty trivial. Nobody seems entirely sure, because nobody has played more than five hours or so, but if this has been left intentionally blank for future DLC I think that's pretty cynical and will backfire badly, given the cost of the game. But I don't know what the alternative is? That Nintendo has lost its touch and made a big open world and forgot to put anything in it? No one seems to be complaining about the actual races, but I don't get the impression this is going to be getting any 10/10 scores. Focus Poke the bear Pretty shocking that Sony would have their State of Play try and undermine the Switch 2 launch. They can deny it is, but to announce it at the last minute like that, to take place literally an hour before the Switch 2 comes out. They knew exactly what they were doing. It's a long time since Sony has been this aggressive. I don't think they've even acknowledged Nintendo publicly since the PSP was battling the DS all those years ago. On the one hand it's childish and petty but on the other hand at least Sony did something. At least they woke up for a second and showed some fight. I worry that whatever's in the State of Play is just going to be more live service rubbish but if they manage to put out a good one then maybe this will be seen as a turning point and whatever it is they think they've been doing for the last two years can quickly become a memory. Hammeriron Email your comments to: gamecentral@ Now and then I sold my Xbox Series X last year and considered a PlayStation 5 but then Sony decided to raise the price while hinting at the PlayStation 6, which put the kibosh on that idea. But I've just bought a new gen Fire TV Max stick and noticed you can stream Xbox games with Game Pass Ultimate. So, while I wait to buy a Switch 2 (not pre-ordered), I dusted off my last remaining Xbox Series X controller – a custom job by The Juve using my Microsoft Reward points – bought one month's Game Pass and had a quick blast. I have to say it works really well – no problems with Star Wars Jedi: Survivor or Atomfall so far, other than maybe around textures. Next up will be Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. I recently upgraded to decent broadband though, so I doubt I'd have been as impressed a month ago. However, while I'm pleasantly surprised at how well it works, I still don't see the value in a persistent subscription, especially at the current price. I'll dip in and out I reckon and, frankly, physical media will always be king. Foximusprime81 (gamertag/NN ID) A right State Ain't that a gander. To see your week become busier than usual. Firstly, the most indomitable question must be asked. Doth Sony know, thy move is folly? Because their announcement screams only one word. It isn't genius or excitement. It's desperation. Sony are perhaps feeling the blues. With Nintendo two days away from stealing their limelight. Why commit the move of further humiliating themselves? Let's just say it. The State Of Play will disappoint us once more. It will marginally fail on each and every count. Why wouldn't it? Sony aren't exactly helping themselves, with the banal focus on live service titles, such as Marathon by Bungie. This intermittently reeks of even attempting to steer away the focus from Summer Games Fest and the Xbox Games Showcase. Because of either sheer mismanagement or a wrong chess move. At this point, must I even shake my head at the people who will expect the world and collect the scraps? Shahzaib Sadiq GC: The last State of Play was pretty good. Shadows Die Thrice I'm very much looking forward to getting my Switch 2 on Thursday, but the wait has not been painful at all, as I've had the absolute pleasure of playing Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice for the first time. I think it might just be my favourite FromSoftware game. It probably has the best combat of any game I've played, definitely the best stealth ever, extremely satisfying traversal, and a fantastic 16th century Japanese setting. The balance between parrying, attacking, dodging, and countering is truly inspired, with the fights having a real feeling of flow and fluidity. The world and enemy design is top notch, with a welcome emphasis on more human rather than fantastical opponents. It's interesting that many people bounced off the game due to the difficulty. I don't think it's any more difficult than any other Soulsbourne game, probably easier. Even the famed final boss was not insurmountable once you learned his tricks. I remember Laurence and Orphan of Kos in Bloodborne being much harder to defeat, not to mention Ornstein and Smough in Dark Souls! (I hate dual bosses!). I would very much welcome a sequel, spiritual or otherwise, to Sekiro with lots more potential in the whole concept. I hope it isn't the last we've seen of the lone wolf! Ryan O'D Omni Consumer Products Loved your preview of the RoboCop expansion, the original game was a blast so I can't wait to get stuck into this (it's just £20 to pre-order from Fanatical). I wanted to ask, is the game a rougelike? With the tower set-up it made me wonder if it was, but there's been nothing from the trailers I've seen to totally confirm or deny this? Sunny GC: It's not a roguelike. Good enough I'm starting to get excited for the old Switch 2 now, finally. I've one booked and fully paid for at Argos, and a backup £20 deposit for a Smyths down the road ( not going at midnight, that's a young man's game. And I won't be scalping if I get hold of one of them). Mario Kart 8 has become an almost nightly ritual for me and my partner, so Mario Kart World is a no-brainer, especially with the bundle. I'm like 95% through Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom, so intend to upgrade and finish that, and strangely I'm dying to play the original Ridge Racer via Arcade Archives. Is that the most amazing launch line-up I've ever encountered? No, but with Donkey Kong: Bananza in July, Metroid Prime 4 at some point, and maybe some bits and bobs before Christmas I'd say it's a strong enough suite of games for a launch window. My biggest worry is figuring out which SD card works and what to buy and transferring my games and saves from my launch Switch 1. Looking forward to your and other readers' reactions to the console and games. We're finally here! ANON Inbox also-ransI have to say that Mario Kart World review was kind of concerning. If there's not really much to do in the open world except drive around and look for little mini-challenges, was there really a point in doing it that way? Tacle Welcome Tour is the strangest thing I think Nintendo has ever done. What possible benefit does its existence have, except to make Nintendo look bad, in terms of making a boring 'gaming', charging for it, and looking like chumps compared to Astro Bot.

BBC fans urge people to watch ‘amazing' trans teen drama
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video BBC Three's inspirational new coming-of-age drama, What It Feels Like For A Girl, has seriously impressed viewers. The eight-episode series, set at the turn of the millennium, is based on the acclaimed memoir by author and trans rights campaigner Paris Lees. For those looking for some Y2K nostalgia, this is your easy fix with retro outfits, cultural references and a killer soundtrack to take you right back. Think those hazy Blair-Brown days when shows like Queer As Folk offered snatches of LGBTQ+ visbility for the community and mainstream trans representation was sparse. The synopsis for the East Midlands-based show reads: 'To find yourself, sometimes you need to lose yourself. It's Y2K, and Byron's flirting with discovery and destruction, love and anarchy. ' Played by Ellis Howard, the show follows Byron as they escape into Nottingham's queer underbelly and discover a vibrant found family in friends, Sasha (Hannah Jones) and Lady Die (Laquarn Lewis) aka Fallen Dives in the club scene. The series also stars Calam Lynch, Laura Haddock, Hannah Walters and Michael Socha. It is already being praised by fans on X. 'First 2 episodes boxed off. That was actually very, very good!' Roscoe Barnes wrote. 'I loved the first 2 episodes of the new #LGBTQ series What It Feels Like For A Girl and I can't wait to see how the story develops,' phdev85 shared. 'Only 5 mins into What It Feels Like For A Girl and I feel homesick, it's already bringing back memories as a young Arnold quiche from the early noughties hanging around NG1/AD2 – thank you x' cp83 added. 'The level of talent of Ellis and Jake in this show….wowwwwwww,' yram praised. 'Just started watching today and it's soooo good!!! Jake Dunn you were born to play a villain. The whole cast is amazing too,' dreedreexo said. 'The 'queer as folk' for a new generation,' OliReading dubbed it. The show has also been lauded by critics as a beacon of trans visibility during a time when the marginalised community is under immense scrutiny. 'It's certainly a wild ride- I'll struggle to look at a toilet brush the same way ever again – but if you stay on board until the end, a memorably complex psychological portrait will be your reward,' The Guardian intriguingly teased. The Independent echoed: 'In a world where it is easy to feel pessimistic about the course of progress, What It Feels Like for a Girl presents an engaging – and rational – case for optimism.' 'Make no mistake, What It Feels Like for a Girl is raw and frequently uncomfortable viewing…. Yet the unease is what makes What It Feels Like for a Girl such a visceral, essential watch. We need more TV like it,' PinkNews shared. GQ called it 'gnarly and brutally honest', The Times praised it as 'raw and funny', and the i paper dubbed it an 'absolute riot'. In an interview with Metro, Jones reflected on what it meant to play a trans girl. '[Sasha] was just an unapologetic, gobby trans girl from the north. Fork found in kitchen,' she jokes. 'I had to do this for all the gobby, northern trans girls. She was great to play. More Trending 'Being trans is just a facet of her life; it just so happens that Sasha is trans. Her storyline is not trans trauma, her storyline is not a trans journey… It's her being horrible, being a sex worker, being a sister, being a best friend… 'All of this humanises the trans experience, and we've not had that before, and I think it's really important to do that right now for trans people who are struggling.' Dunn echoed: 'One of the gorgeous things about the show is the specificity of seeing life through Byron's eyes for eight hours, and with that comes really deeply rooted, authored representation of people who exist, who have existed, and who still exist… which I hope provides some solace.'

Dark EastEnders scenes as Joel makes horror move in story with Tommy
Joel Marshall (Max Murray) continues to prove a bad influence on Tommy Moon (Sonny Kendall) in upcoming scenes on EastEnders. Joel took Tommy under his wing soon after arriving in Walford, and the pair quickly became thick and thieves. Already lonely and troubled, Tommy found (human) friendship in Joel, bonding as they bullied Barney Mitchell (Lewis Bridgeman) and unleashed all manner of teenage mischief over Albert Square. Newcomer Joel's behaviour has taken an increasingly dark turn however, after he slept with Avani Nandra-Hart (Aaliyah James) and then shamed her for it online. This week, the pair stole Alfie Moon's (Shane Richie) credit card, using it to watch a pornographic video online. Dad Ross (Alex Walkinshaw) and Vicki Fowler (Alice Haig) are still under the impression that his friendship with Tommy is good for Joel… but are unaware that the situation is about to drastically worsen. Vicki is disturbed when Amy Mitchell (Ellie Dadd) reveals that no-one wants to be friends with Joel because he shamed Avani online for sleeping with him. Meanwhile, thinking Alfie responsible for the pornographic video on his laptop, Kat Slater (Jessie Wallace) finally confronts him. The pair soon work out that it was Tommy who had been watching it. Elsewhere, Vicki tells Ross about Joel's actions toward Avani. The pair agree that he needs more positive male role models in his life. Later, they see Joel helping Tommy with his speech for Kat and Alfie's wedding. The pair breathe a sigh of relief, hoping that the friendship will be good for Joel. The next day, Kat and Alfie prepare to celebrate their wedding. However, concerns over Tommy and the video prevent them from enjoying the day. Alfie promises to talk to Tommy – but is it too little, too late? Elsewhere, Joel shows Tommy a video by a social media influencer who says derogatory things about women. More Trending Is Joel about to lead Tommy down an even darker path? This is just the latest worrying development from Joel, who's consistently proved himself to have an alarming attitude toward women. It was recently revealed that the reason Joel and Ross are no longer welcome back in Australia is due to Joel's past – making an 'upskirting' video without the other party's knowledge or consent. View More » Since arriving in Walford, he wasted little time in reverting to bad habits, making a recording of his time in bed with Avani. Ross discovered the footage, but chose to keep it a secret, so long as Joel kept his nose clean.
