The name and first pictures of Peppa Pig's baby sister have been revealed as the family welcomes a new member. 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. 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.
Experts at the LEGO group, which has a range of Peppa Pig sets, say toys can be a perfect way to introduce the idea of a new baby to children. A spokesman said: "Whilst we know welcoming a new child to the world is exciting, we know the arrival of a sibling can be a big change for little ones. While it's mostly very exciting, it can also feel kind of strange.
"Talking to them and getting them prepared for little ones' arrival can also feel daunting for parents. If you're looking for ways to talk about the arrival of a new baby brother or sister with your little one, the LEGO DUPLO Peppa Pig range is a great way to have those big conversations in a manageable and gentle way, engaging with them through play."
LEGO has a range of DUPLO Peppa Pig sets available, from a Birthday House to a supermarket.

I'm A Celebrity and comedy legend shares rare snap of ‘giant' son as they hang out with close pal Robbie Williams
A COMEDY legend and I'm A Celeb alum shared a rare snap of his 'giant' son while meeting up with pal Robbie Williams. The three men were all smiles as they stood posed for a photo together. 4 4 Tommy Cannon, 86, is best known for being part of comedy double act Cannon and Ball - alongside the late Bobby Ball. On Instagram, Tommy shared a photo of himself, Robbie Williams and his "giant" son, Luke. Tommy penned: "Posted about it already, but want to thank @robbiewilliams for an amazing night, honoured to call this man a good friend of mine, and was lovely to reminisce about the old times of comedy and what he was raised on. "A fantastic and lovely man, a true showman, let me know when you want me to sing 'My Way' with you Rob (yes that is my giant son)." While a third shared: "Love this bless so sweet xx." Tommy's legendary comedy career spans over five decades - with Cannon and Ball active from 1974 until Bobby's death in 2020. Their variety show, The Cannon and Ball Show, ran on ITV for nine years from 1979 to 1998. In 2005, Tommy and Bobby Ball both entered I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. Bobby Ball's comedy partner Tommy Cannon tears up saying he'll 'never get over' his death as a 'big chunk of me is gone' However, Tommy was first to be eliminated - although the second person overall to leave camp after Elaine Lordan withdrew. Meanwhile, it's not the first time that th e comedy legend's drawn attention to Luke's towering height. Last year, the two posed together as Tommy asked Gary Barlow whether he could join "the giant son club". It followed the Take That singer's eldest child becoming an internet sensation from a viral family photo. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, the 5ft 11 star joked: "@GaryBarlow can I join the giant son club?" While Luke, whose mum is Tommy's second wife Hazel, later took to the platform with a solo photo. He wrote: "This is overwhelming how much my tallness has taken! "Thank you for the follows and likes, guess being 6ft6 has its perks! Sorry dad @TheTommyCannon." He went on to share another shot with his famous father, writing: "Another picture to clarify how tall I actually am @TheTommyCannon #TallSonClub #CannonandTall." 4

Gino D'Acampo set to make TV return with brand-new travelogue and Irish drama series after being axed by ITV following accusations of inappropriate behaviour towards women
Gino D'Acampo is cooking up a comeback with a new travel series and a surprising dip into acting, after being axed from ITV amid a serious of misconduct claims. In recent months the TV chef, 48, has faced a string of accusations of inappropriate behaviour towards women - which he has denied. ITV subsequently pulled all of Gino's shows from its upcoming schedules after the accusations were revealed in an investigation. At the time an insider told MailOnline: 'He's in a lot of trouble and ITV don't want to be in a BBC situation [with Gregg Wallace ] or have a repeat of Schofield so they are covering all their bases.' But now the chef has revealed he'll be back on screens this September with An Italian In Malta, a brand-new travelogue exploring the Mediterranean island he now calls a second home. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. He told The Mirror: 'The idea is to show everyone all over the world a bit about the country - I want to find the perfect restaurant, the perfect recipe, the perfect spot, I will speak to the local people, what they cook and how they cooked 200 years ago.' In another twist, Gino has also been quietly filming an acting project in Ireland, playing a grease-covered mechanic, marking his first proper stab at a scripted role. He revealed: 'I am playing a part in a series, my part is this Italian-American mechanic that is always in trouble with the police or always in trouble with the law and then he became a mechanic and he's helping the main character in the show. 'This is acting now, I'm not becoming a real mechanic, I'm useless at stuff like that.' MailOnline has approached representatives for Gino for comment. The comeback news follows months out of the limelight for the This Morning star, who stepped back from TV duties after ITV News published allegations of sexually inappropriate behaviour - including claims of aggressive, sexualised language - spanning more than a decade. Gino said he 'firmly denied' the accusations, calling them 'simply not in my nature.' Despite his TV career imploding following the allegations, which sparked job offers to dry up, Gino insists he's ready to move forward, adding that not everyone has turned their back on him. Addressing rumours of a fallout with long-time co-star Gordon Ramsay, Gino insisted the two are still tight and described him as 'a very generous, cool guy'. He told The Mirror: 'If I FaceTime here he would answer of course, but if I FaceTime him and I'm on a show he will be really annoyed.' Earlier this month, Gino launched his first international restaurant, Luciano, in Malta, however, not everyone will welcome Gino's return with open arms. Just last month, during a risqué radio interview, the former I'm A Celeb star sparked fresh backlash with a string of crass comments about women's bodies claiming a 'real man' likes women to have 'things to grab' and admitting a preference for curvier figures. Responding when one of the presenters, named Nicole, said that she regularly dieted, he said: 'Only dogs like bones. 'A real man, he wants the meat, you know, the things to grab. Don't get too skinny, otherwise it's like, no.' Earlier this year, Gino's former host Melanie Sykes slammed the chef and television bosses, saying the industry needs to 'clean out' the 'monsters' among its talent. She presented ITV's cookery and chat show Let's Do Lunch for three years alongside Gino, but quit television in 2021 after what she claims was an inappropriate remark from MasterChef host Gregg Wallace. Reflecting on her turbulent time in the industry, Melanie, 55, said: 'I've been watching what's happening with all these misogynists on telly and I'm supporting anybody who's experienced anything that's beyond pale. 'There is no protection. Some of it's being done behind closed doors, but it's happening on set. When channels say, "It's not our problem because it's with a production company", it's just appalling.' She continued: 'I remember once when Gino said to me he can just go up to the powers that be and knock on the door and go in. He doesn't need a meeting. He was quite pleased with himself he could do that. 'I feel like I was in a war zone in that industry – 24 years of battling through an industry that didn't feel right to me anyway. If you're spending all your time cleaning up people's s***, just clean the house, clean out the house and start again, that's all I'm saying.'
