Peppa Pig's new baby sister seen for the first time
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.

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.
