Mummy Pig told Hello! magazine: "We were very lucky – everything went smoothly and in eight, um, 'short' hours of labour Evie was here."
Daddy Pig praised his "amazing" wife and called the arrival of their daughter a "miracle".
He added: "We're very lucky to be able to grow our family."
Mummy Pig quickly cut off any expectations of a fourth baby, saying: "I think we're more than happy with our family of five! We're excited to settle into our new adventure and see where that takes us."
The family's happy news was announced on yesterday's Good Morning Britain by entertainment editor Richard Arnold, 55.
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."
Mummy Pig's pregnancy was announced on the same show back in February.
At the time, Mummy Pig - 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", said were expecting another baby this summer.
Peppa Pig and Mummy Pig open up about playing their roles for 10 years
The couple are also parents to Peppa, four, and George, two.
Speaking live from their home in 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!'
Viewers can expect to see the new baby on May 30, in an episode of Peppa Meets The Baby.
PEPPA'S FAMILY HISTORY
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."

Teddi Mellencamp explains why Brandon Blackstock's death 'really hit me hard' amid her skin cancer battle
For Teddi Mellencamp, the death of Brandon Blackstock from melanoma has hit close to home. The talent manager, who was the ex-husband of Grammy winner Kelly Clarkson, died on August 7, some three years after being diagnosed with the dangerous skin cancer. Mellencamp, 44, opened up about her feelings in the most recent episode of her Two Ts in a Pod podcast with Tamra Judge on Wednesday. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum said Blackstock's death at age 48 'really hit me hard.' 'I wish I would have missed that little detail in the World Wide Web because then I started doing research and they were so quiet about [his diagnosis],' she told listeners. 'I mean, we know he passed from melanoma. They announced that.' 'We're assuming that it had metastasized,' Judge, 57, said to her pal. 'I was wondering, when did it metastasize?,' Mellencamp, who was first diagnosed in March 2022 wondered aloud, adding, 'like this is just where my head goes from being in the situation, did he decline treatment?' 'There's so many different ways that this could have happened,' she explained, adding, 'and like I have one million [percent] respect their choice to keep it private.' Judge suggested the dedicated equestrian could reach out to Clarkson for some more details to be shared privately. Clarkson, who shared children River, 11, and Remington, nine, with Blackstock has not made any public comment regarding his death. Wondering about what kinds of treatment Blackstock received, Mellencamp queried, 'Maybe he did immunotherapy? Maybe he did chemotherapy? We don't know.' 'I don't know, but those kind of stories hit you hard, when it directly sounds similar to something that you're going through,' she said. Mellencamp, who has undergone 16 surgeries since her diagnosis, including the removal of four brain tumors earlier this year. The reality star had four brain tumors removed earlier this year. She has also undergone radiation and immunotherapy treatments. She has also undergone radiation and immunotherapy treatments She has also used radiation and immunotherapy to fight the disease. On July 29, she shared with her Instagram followers that she was doing well after taking a break from immunotherapy. 'Feeling better and not taking it for granted. Which means I'm back to work after taking last week off,' she shared next to a selfie. 'And if you know me that was completely against my instincts. I guess you could call that growth.' 'Having cancer has broken my heart but has taught me so much about myself,' she told her fans.

'Tradwife', 'delulu' and 'skibidi' among new words added to Cambridge Dictionary
The Cambridge Dictionary has officially welcomed 6,000 new words this year - including a wave of new slang inspired by social media. Delulu, tradwife, broligarcy, and lewk, have all been added because experts believe the words will not be just a fad, but will have linguistic staying power. The words have grown in use across social and mainstream media and beyond, linked to celebrities and influencers such as Kim Kardashian (skibidi), Hannah Neeleman of @ballerinafarm (tradwife) and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese (delulu with no solulu). Other words linked to working from home, such as "mouse jiggler" - a device or app that simulates mouse movement and stops your computer going into sleep mode - and climate change-related phrases like "forever chemical", have also been added. The dictionary, published by Cambridge University Press, draws its entries not just from the written word but from a huge database of real-world English usage. Some of this year's new words include: Delulu - from the word delusional. The Australian prime minister once used the phrase "delulu with no solulu" (delusional with no solution) in a speech to parliament. Lewk - a play on the word look; meaning a particular style, fashion, or outfit, especially one that is unusual and impressive. Made popular by reality TV show RuPaul's Drag Race. Tradwife - short for traditional wife; especially a woman who stays at home cooking, cleaning and taking care of her children. It reflects a contentious Instagram and TikTok trend of such influencers embracing traditional gender roles. One of the most famous examples is American Hannah Needleman, who has more than 10 million followers and has been called "the queen of tradwifery". Broligarchy - a blend of bro and oligarchy. It refers to a small group of men, especially those in tech, who are rich and powerful, and who have or want political influence. It's been used to describe the likes of Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, who all attended Donald Trump 's inauguration. Work wife/work spouse - workplace relationships where two people help and trust each other. Inspo - short for inspiration; something that inspires something new, especially when posted on the internet. Fitness influencer Alaya F was responsible for an inspo trend after she recommended doing a headstand on a paddleboard in the middle of a river. Colin McIntosh, lexical programme manager at the Cambridge Dictionary, believes the words added to the latest edition won't just be a flash in the pan. "We only add words where we think they'll have staying power," he said. "Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the dictionary." So what does 'skibidi' mean? Skibidi can have a number of different meanings, including good, bad, cool or even weird. It can even have no meaning and can just be a gibberish sound. It was popularised by the creator of a viral animated YouTube series called Skibidi Toilet - about toilets with human heads sticking out of the bowl. The phrase featured on a necklace given as a present to Kim Kardashian by her 12-year-old daughter, North West. The show is popular among Gen Alpha - referring to people born roughly between 2010 and 2024. Phrases such as "What the skibidi are you doing?" and "That wasn't very skibidi rizz of you" have entered mainstream usage.

Tommy Fury opens up about the worst year of his life and explains why being a father is his most prized title ahead of The Good. The Bad. The Fury. documentary
Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury., a new series for BBC Three and iPlayer, follows Tommy Fury on his road to redemption as he seeks to restore his reputation and win back the trust of his partner Molly-Mae by regaining his mental health and returning to the ring. The series follows Tommy's comeback year as he tries to rebuild his career and 'return to his old self' after developing an alcohol problem that cost him his family, his reputation and mental health. Tommy bares all about the demons that drove him to drink and allows cameras at home and behind the scenes as he trains with his father John to prove himself worthy of fighting again, and through this show Molly-Mae and his daughter Bambi that he is a dependable father and partner once again. Watch Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury on iPlayer and BBC Three from Tuesday 19 August and add to your Watchlist now GC2/JS Interview with Tommy Fury What was your motivation for wanting to do your own series? I was really going through a tough time, and I just thought if there's any time to document this, it would be now. I want people not just to see all the great stuff that they see like winning fights on TV or living the life on Instagram. I want people to see me going through a difficult time as well. Because that's real life. How did it feel having cameras follow you around? To be quite honest it felt okay because I wanted to do the documentary. Once I've decided on something I want to go all in. Once you get yourself into that mind frame, you're not bothered whether a camera is there or not, and you just don't care anymore. And that was completely it really: I wanted the documentary to be raw and real, and that's exactly what you've got. You said that 2024 was the worst year of your life. Any reflections on that? And how does it compare to 2025 so far? Yeah, 2024 was awful. I started last January with a hand surgery and since then it just from went from bad to worse. I had my problems with alcohol, I was absent from the ring, I had problems in my private life and just lost touch with myself. 2025 is completely different. Already this year we've managed to make an amazing documentary. I've had my comeback fight. I'm back in the ring and back being active. My private life has never been better. And yeah, everything is just a complete opposite of 2024. What was your life and career like pre-Love Island? Growing up, I didn't want for anything. I had an amazing childhood. My dad went to prison for a long time, so he was absent for some of the key years of my life. I was about eight or nine when he was sentenced to 12 years: he was away for a long time so that was tough. I grew up watching my brother Tyson working hard and becoming as successful as he is. I was the kid that was just lurking around in the gym and no one expected much of me really. But I have always loved boxing, had real determination and wouldn't take no for an answer. I couldn't afford much so I would often have to ask friends for money to get the tram, train or bus as I couldn't afford the ticket. So my story is pretty unique. Did you ever expect to become famous? And how do you feel about life in the public eye? I never expected to become famous. I always just wanted to be good at boxing. The Love Island stuff was completely unexpected. I'd never watched Love Island before and it just came about at a completely unexpected time. It was an opportunity that came around and I said yes to, but it was never something I'd planned or was in the picture for me. I thought afterwards a few people might know me, but I could never have imagined the scale of what it is now and life now. With the paparazzi, it's not great. I mean, I can't push my child on a swing without a camera in my face. You can't walk down the road without being left alone! I can't even go for a haircut and be left alone. So, you've kind of always got camera in your face, and that's why I just try not to really think about it anymore, because there's nothing you can really do. Your injury seemed to trigger a lot of negativity in your life. Do you have any reflections on how far you've come since then? The injury caused a lot of problems in my life, both inside and outside the ring. But I've come so far and I've done a full turn. I've gone from having nothing in my life, to living in a house alone, going through the toughest time of my life, to now having everything back and feeling myself again. I'm back in the gym and back training. I'm back in shape. My family's there and I've come full circle. I couldn't be any happier. Did Tyson's career inspire you to get into boxing and what have you learned from him? Tyson's career definitely motivated me to get into boxing and seeing him do as well as he's done. I love to train anyway. I love to box; I think it's just in me to do it. My dad had a great saying when I was younger. He always said, 'what's in you will come out of you'. And I think it's in me to fight. It's in my blood. How is it working so closely with your Dad? I spend a lot of time with my dad. He's not just a father to me, he's my trainer also. We're in the gym every single day together, often twice a day, and he puts me through vigorous workouts. So, I'm with him quite a lot! I have that father-son relationship with him, but we also have a trainer-fighter relationship. My dad helps me through a lot in my personal life and a lot in my work life in boxing. How is it working and training with your brother, Roman? It's amazing having Roman in the gym with me, going through these torture sessions with me. Whenever I'm flagging a little bit, or I don't feel up-to-scratch, having Roman there for some healthy competition really does spur me on. It's great to have a training partner and it's great to have a brother as a training partner. The camping trip we see you go on is quite different to your holidays with Molly-Mae and Bambi! What is your perfect holiday? The camping trip you see in the documentary will probably be the only camping trip that you ever see me go on! But it was grounding and at least I understand now that I can't put a tent together! As much as the holidays to Dubai are great, Molly and I want to give Bambi that grounded holiday experience too. Not everything has to be perfect five stars all the time. It's okay to not be able to put up a tent and lose your rag a little bit, because that's life! Those are the sort of holidays I had as a kid and I remember those holidays more than I remember the fancy holidays. How have you found fatherhood and life as a Dad? Fatherhood is the best thing that can ever happen to you. There's nothing in this life - boxing or money or fame or anything - that compares to being a father. Every day I wake up and I see Bambi it's like nothing else matters. As long as I've got her and I can make her proud, I don't really care about anything else. Being a father is the best title that I can ever have in my life. After winning your last fight, what's next for you? I'm in boxing mode after winning my last fight. I'm firmly back in the swing of things. I've come off a very good win against a good guy, and so right now it's just about opportunity. We'll see what opportunities are out there. If one presents itself, I will take it. If it makes money, it makes sense, because this is a business at the end of the day and we have to be smart. We have to think about what we're doing, but I just want to be active and fighting. You say that training and routine keeps you in a good head space. Do you have any words of wisdom for people who have faced adversity and want to motivate themselves? Adversity can be a good thing because it's all about how you overcome it and how you face it. You know, I took adversity by the horns and dealt with it. I've gone through my trials and tribulations and I've come out the other side. I feel like adversity is healthy for everybody, if you know how to handle it. It's a case of I'm just gonna get past another hurdle, it's another barrier that I'm gonna knock down, and another one I'm gonna take off the list. In the series, you talk about rebuilding your family life. What's the status of that now? And what do you hope for in the future? So, in terms of my family life, everything is private now between me and Molly, and we're in the happiest place possible. And that's all that anyone needs to know! Everyone's entitled to a private life and so right now we're going to live our private life, because we haven't had that since we were 19 or 20 years old. It's all been lived out in front of a camera or on the front page of a newspaper. So now, going forward, we're finally going to take that private time. You have talked about making good life choices. Can you expand on that? So in terms of life choices, it is just about not putting yourself in a predicament. For me now, I'm 26 - still young - but going out and drinking and doing all that just isn't on my mind. There's nothing in me that wants to do that. For me, my life choices right now consist of eating healthily, going to the gym, spending time with my family, making memories on holidays, and living that family man lifestyle. When I'm not boxing that's what I want to be doing. How big of an influence has your faith been in your life? And can you tell us a bit more about your faith? I'm a Christian. You'll see in the documentary when I was younger, around 10 or 12 years old, I was an altar boy in the primary school that I went to. I used to serve the mass and help the priest out. And yeah, I talked to God every single day. Everything that I have in my life now is all thanks to the Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. I owe him everything. After every big fight that I have, it's always thank-you to my Lord and Saviour for this victory. I owe him everything. I don't often speak about it, but every person that I meet for a picture on the street or every interview I have, I'll always say, God Bless. I don't want to force it on anyone. But he's turned my dreams into reality. Do you have any pearls of wisdom for aspiring boxers or sports people who are at the start of their careers? I would say the only thing - and this is coming from a guy who's not, you know, Muhammad Ali, I'm not the most talented boxer out there - but the one thing that I do have, over and above a lot of other people, is determination. I just don't take no for an answer. If somebody tells me that I can't do something, I'll go out there and do it. I love to defy the odds. I love to go out there and keep doing it. As a sportsman, you've got to be the best version of yourself that you can; you can't take no for an answer. The most important word to summarise that is dedication. Without dedication you don't have anything. So, I'd say to any young, aspiring athletes: stay in the gym, stay grounded and stay dedicated. What do you hope that people to take from watching the series? If I can help one person with my story, that'd be objective done. Or, if not and I can't help anyone, just enjoy it. It's a ride. There's highs and lows, so just put your seat belt on, fasten up and get some popcorn! Finally, what's next for you Tommy, personally and professionally? Personally? I just want to stay happy. I want to continue making memories with my family and hopefully have some more children. In terms of work life – we'll see. I'll be back in the ring at the end of the year and we're going to have some more big fights. There's a lot of interesting conversations to be had. Stay tuned. Read more: New series Tommy: The Good.
