Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PARENTS have issued a stark warning about 'dark Peppa Pig' videos that are going viral online. The famous cartoon pig is adored and often watched on YouTube by many young children around the country, but now depraved creators are taking advantage of Peppa Pig's popularity and creating harmful versions of the iconic show. 6 Parents have issued an urgent warning about 'dark Peppa Pig' videos that are going viral on YouTube Credit: YouTube 6 While two horrifying clips have been removed from the platform, others show the iconic characters holding guns Credit: YouTube 6 One clip showed Mummy Pig making Peppa Pig into a pancake Credit: YouTube The horror videos, which are set to target and terrify young children, have racked up millions of views on the video sharing platform. Pranksters have used genuine Peppa Pig episodes and re-dubbed sections of them to include shameful content. Numerous clips showed the iconic character and her family holding machine guns. Another saw the family cooking Peppa Pig in a pancake and eating her. Meanwhile, as reported by the Daily Mail, another twisted video showed the cartoon pig snorting cocaine. A YouTube spokesperson has since confirmed that two viral clips have been taken down, but there are still numerous videos floating around that millions of children may have been exposed to them. A spokesperson told the Mirror: 'We've removed both videos from YouTube and terminated a channel for violating our child safety policies, which we rigorously enforce.' Such 'Dark Peppa Pig' videos first came to light in 2017, when an investigation by the BBC found hundreds of harmful clips on YouTube which appeared to be episodes of Peppa Pig but were actually terrifying content targeted at children. In 2018, a mother from Melbourne, named Moonee Ponds, was taking a conference call while her daughter watched Peppa Pig online, but she soon noticed something wasn't right when she noticed the absence of the cartoon character's voice. As she checked on her daughter, she was stunned to find footage of a kneeling man about to be beheaded, hitting the power button seconds from the gruesome act playing out, The Advertiser reported. Four ways to keep kids safe on YouTube Fortunately, Moonee was able to protect her daughter from the horrifying clip, but wanted other mothers to know the 'kids' function on YouTube did not guarantee cyber safety. Minister for Law Enforcement and Cyber Safety Angus Taylor has since called on social media companies to be more vigilant with its policing of content. Keeping kids safe on YouTube RESTRICTED Mode is an optional setting on YouTube that helps filter out mature videos. It's not perfect, but it's a good way of scrubbing out a large portion of the adult material on YouTube. However, you have to turn it off manually for each browser or device your child is using – it can't simply be applied at account level. On your computer, go to the account icon – a little person icon in the top right corner of your screen. Click Restricted Mode, then use the toggle button to turn it on. On the Android phone app or mobile site, tap the menu icon, which looks like three vertical dots. Then go to Settings > General and turn Restricted Mode on. On Android TV, go to the Home screen then scroll down to the Apps row. Select YouTube, then scroll down and select Settings. Choose Restricted Mode or Safety Mode, then select Enabled. On the iOS app (for iPhones or iPad), tap the account icon in the top right. Tap Settings then Restricted Mode Filtering, then choose Strict: Restricted Mode On. On the iOS mobile site, tap the menu icon, which looks like a three-dot column. Tap Settings then tap Restricted Mode to turn it on or off. Minister Taylor said: 'I am aware of these types of cases. Social media companies absolutely have a responsibility to do more.' Meanwhile, a spokeswoman shared: 'All versions of the YouTube Kids app use filters powered by algorithms to select videos from YouTube. 'We continually work hard to make our algorithms as accurate as possible in order to provide a safer version of YouTube.' As well as this, Cyber Cop's Susan McClean suggested parents could protect their kids by boycotting internet streaming services and instead using DVDs or VCR. Joe Pritchard's Peppa Pig horror Meanwhile, a dad-of-two previously expressed outrage after his son started watching an explicit fake version of Peppa Pig while browsing YouTube. The seemingly innocent video started as any normal tale involving Peppa, George and her parents, but the content soon changed with references to a paedophile dentist, which was of course not included in the original version. Joe Pritchard, 25, from Cornwall, let his three-year-old son watch some genuine Peppa Pig videos on the internet. He told MailOnline: 'Jack is three and is in the process of being tested for autism, and we've found that if he watches a show for 15 minutes on the phone it calms him down and helps him relax.' If a slightly older child saw this, it could be traumatising. There is nothing to warn people that the content is graphic Joe Pritchard Mr Pritchard said he asked Jack about the episode he was watching and was disgusted when he realised the content of the video, as he recalled: 'My partner went to the kitchen when she heard the language and turned it off immediately. 'Some of them have Peppa Pig getting killed. We had to warn the nursery that he had seen this in case he repeated something. 'If a slightly older child saw this, it could be traumatising. There is nothing to warn people that the content is graphic. 'I think there should be more control on the internet. 'Now we're not going to be able to let him watch things on the mobile anymore. It's going to make our lives ten times harder now and it's a shame because he enjoyed it.'

ITV GMB viewers outraged over baby news as they reel 'enough with this'
Good Morning Britain fans were left scratching their heads in bewilderment during Wednesday's episode. Entertainment correspondent Richard Arnold teased an exclusive scoop for ITV audiences, reflecting on the recent revelation that Mummy Pig from Peppa Pig was expecting again. On the latest show, he excitedly announced: "Now we have another treat for you, straight from Peppatown, in their first TV interview as a family of five, it's Daddy Pig on FaceTime!" The screen then cut to the cartoon character who said: "Let me just pop out of the room! We've just got the little one to down." But the quirky segment didn't sit well with viewers, who blasted the interview with the fictional character as 'nonsense', reports Bristol Live. ITV GMB viewers outraged over baby news as they reel 'enough with this' Disgruntled fans took to social media to voice their dismay, with one viewer venting: "But Peppa Pig takes more of a headline [sic] Complaining to Ofcom". Another expressed frustration: "With absolutely everything that's f***ed up and going wrong with this country, one of your top 3 headliners is about an imaginary pig?!! Seriously , #GMB producers Need to get outside and speak to everyday folk-". A third was equally unimpressed, remarking: "W*f is with all these pepper pig stories? It's a f*****g news show yet we have stories about a cartoon as if it's real life." Mummy Pig, Daddy Pig and the new addition to their family, Evie And another simply put it: "Enough with this Peppa Pig nonsense." Someone else wrote: "Dickie Arnold and Peppa Pig's new sibling. I'm almost lost for words. Is that how much you think of your viewers? As someone once said, THAT is a disgrace!" Expressing disappointment, another person posted: "And this is what British news has come to.." During the segment where Richard interviewed Daddy Pig, the ITV presenter extended his congratulations regarding the family's new addition, showcasing a baby grow adorned with the Good Morning Britain logo. People were unimpressed with the interview about Peppa Pig's new sibling The rest of the family, including Mummy Pig, Peppa Pig, George, and Evie, all made an appearance on the show to chat with the GMB team. Mummy Pig revealed that they chose the baby's name as a tribute to her great aunt, which came after Peppa had suggested naming her new brother or sister 'baby'. As the feature concluded, Susanna and Richard reiterated their good wishes. Good Morning Britain is available to watch on ITVX.

Peppa Pig's family land huge brand deal as they are gifted a Jeep after arrival of baby sister Evie as Mummy Pig reveals whether she is planning on having even more piglets
Peppa Pig's family have been gifted a Jeep in a money-spinning new brand deal following the arrival of her baby sister Evie. The famous cartoon pig announced the collaboration on Instagram over the weekend, after teasing how they would need a bigger car. Baby Evie - Mummy and Daddy Pig's third child - and a sister for Peppa, four, and George, two, was born last week at London's Lindo Wing. And as the growing family settle down with Evie, Jeep decided to give the family of five a helping hand. The Instagram post, which showed Peppa, her siblings and parents crowded around a luxury brand new car, was captioned: 'We heard you loud and clear! There's only one car you should drive Baby Evie home in.' 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. Fans on social media have been in hysterics at the brand deal, with many sharing their opinion online - including celebrities such as Katherine Ryan. Taking to Instagram, the comedian said: 'What the hell is going on?!' Another said: 'This is the best collab ever.' A third wrote: 'OMGGG THIS IS GREAT MARKETING!!' 'I better see that jeep!! On the new episodesss,' a fourth commented. Evie was welcomed into the family with open arms. Speaking to Hello! Magazine, Mummy Pig said about the birth: 'We were very lucky – everything went smoothly and in eight, um, "short" hours of labour Evie was here.' Daddy Pig sweetly added: 'Mummy pig was AMAZING, and she brought our new baby girl into the world. What a miracle that is!' It comes after Mummy Pig shared if there are future plans for more piglets. The family have been on screens since 2004 and in that time have remained a family of four, with Peppa and George not ageing throughout 21 years on screen. So when did the couple decide to add to their brood? 'I don't think either of us ever had a specific plan – but we just got to that place where timing felt right,' Mummy Pig explained. Daddy Pig agreed, adding: 'And everything fell into place. We're very lucky to be able to grow our family.' But the couple were more hesitant about adding a fourth child to their family, with Daddy Pig panicking before Mummy Pig jumped in to clarify: '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.'
