The fictional Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig are already parents to Peppa, four, and George, two.
However, fans have been left stunned after seeing what the cartoon parents look like in real life.
Mummy Pig is voiced by comedy star Morwenna Banks, who also plays Madame Gazelle and Dr Hamster in the show.
In total, she's played the famed sow in over 169 episodes between 2004 and 2022.
Speaking to Cornwall Living about the role, Morwenna said: 'I'm proud of being Mummy Pig and Madame Gazelle in Peppa Pig!
'No-one was prepared for the phenomenon of Peppa.
'All I can say is that the creators, Neville Astley and Mark Baker are brilliant, truly creative, lovely people and were as shocked as anyone that this success came their way.
'Who knows what the key is – excellent funny writing, brilliant designs, honesty and of course the voices are what really make it special.'
The actress is married to comedian and writer David Baddiel, who is well known for his No1 hit with football anthem Three Lions, and the pair have two children, a daughter Dolly and a son Ezra.
Morwenna hasn't just starred in Peppa Pig.

She also wrote, produced and appeared in the British ensemble film The Announcement in 2001 and voiced Mrs Brown in the animated TV series of The Adventures of Paddington between 2019 and 2020.
More recently she contributed to the writing of Apple TV's Slow Horses, a popular series based on Mick Herron's Slough House book series.
Daddy Pig reveal

Meanwhile, Daddy Pig has been voiced by actor Richard Ridings for 163 episodes between 2004 and 2022.
You may remember Richard from the hit ITV show Fat Friends, which aired between 2000 and 2005.
The Kay Mellor drama explored the lives of several members of a slimming club in Leeds.
Richard played Alan Ashburn for 14 episodes of Fat Friends but was a fan favourite.
He has also appeared in BBC One comedy-drama Common as Muck.

The main character Peppa is played by Amelie Bea Smith.
It was reported she was set to make £1million in a year after taking over from Harley Bird, it was claimed.
Harley reportedly made £1,000-an-hour as the voice of the cartoon porker, but it was thought Amelie could make twice as much.
Harley was the third actress to voice Peppa, after Lily Snowden-Fine, who starred in its first series in 2004, and Cecily Bloom, who joined for the second run in 2006.

ITV's Entertainment Reporter Richard Arnold, 55, told how Daddy Pig had informed him of the happy news at 5.30am, shortly before the ITV daytime show hit screens.
He then revealed the little one's name was Evie, with the adorable character completing the family.
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."

Last month, the gender of Peppa's mum's unborn piglet was revealed.
And back in February, Mummy Pig's maternity news first came to light on GMB.
At the time, Richard cut live to Mummy Pig revealing that the parent - 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", were expecting another baby this summer.
Viewers can expect to see the new baby on screen in the autumn.
