Mum tells parents to BAN their kids from watching Peppa Pig over ‘insane' detail that makes him a ‘bad influence'
Some parents and teachers suggested their kids had picked up the phrase from childcare and school PIG DEAL Mum tells parents to BAN their kids from watching Peppa Pig over 'insane' detail that makes him a 'bad influence' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MOTHER has urged fellow parents to stop letting their kids watch Peppa Pig after she noticed her tot mimicking the animated character's ''bad behaviour''. Kelly Arvan, from Victoria, Australia, said her three-year-old son Kia had started impulsively saying ''You're not my best friend'' to everyone around him. 2 Kelly Arvan has called on parents to stop letting their kids watch Peppa Pig after noticing her toddler son mimicking the TV character's 'bad behaviour' Credit: tiktok/@kellyarvan 2 Some parents and teachers suggested their kids had picked up the phrase from childcare and school Credit: tiktok/@kellyarvan At first, the mum was baffled because she didn't know where he had picked up the phrase - but she asked him to stop repeating it, and he did. A few weeks later, Kia was watching Peppa Pig when the main character suddenly blurted out: ''You're not my best friend anymore''. ''It's insane. I have watched back episodes myself... and Peppa isn't a good influence at all. I'm shocked,'' Kelly told Daily Mail Australia. The mother-of-two said she has since banned her son Kia from watching the show because she doesn't agree with the way Peppa treats her little brother George. ''It worries me because Peppa is really mean to her little brother. ''My three-year-old son Kia has a seven-month-old brother Kian and he treats him so kindly and loving so I would never want Kia to get a bad influence from Peppa,'' Kelly shared. ''It's a great warning for other parents who are totally oblivious like I was.'' The catchphrase ''You're not my best friend'' appears in numerous episodes of the cult favourite children's TV show, including one where Peppa accuses her best friend Suzy of cheating during a card game of snap. ''I don't want to play with you anymore,'' Peppa exclaimed, as Suzy, replied: ''I don't want to play with you anymore.'' ''I am not talking to her,'' Peppa said as she pointed her finger at Suzy. Mums issue stark warning about 'dark Peppa Pig' videos going viral on YouTube set out to target and terrify your kids Peppa's mum nervously laughed it off, before telling Suzy's mum: ''I'm sure they'll make it up... They are best friends.'' However, Peppa disagreed, snapping back: ''It's not funny,' prompting Suzy to storm off, saying 'We are not best friends anymore.'' In the next scene, Suzy called Peppa and said: ''We can be friends again... if you say 'Sorry'.'' Peppa responded: ''I'm sorry I said you cheated, even though you did cheat.'' The conversation quickly fell apart, ending with Suzy saying: ''I'm sorry you were ever my best friend.'' Peppa Pig legacy 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." Kelly was shocked when she realised her tot had picked up the phrase from the show, prompting her to make a video warning other parents. ''Warning to all parents who let their children, specifically toddlers, watch Peppa Pig,'' she said. The mum said other parents had previously warned her that Peppa Pig came across as ''rude'', but she never thought twice about letting her little one watch the popular show. ''About a month ago, he started going around to everyone, saying: 'You're not my best friend... You're not my best friend','' Kelly recalled. ''And he was saying it quite often and I kept saying to him, 'Where are you learning this? That's not nice to say to someone. You're not allowed to say that anymore'. And he stopped saying it.'' Over the weekend, the family was enjoying some quiet time on the couch while Kia was watching Peppa Pig when Kelly suddenly heard the phrase. ''I hear Peppa Pig saying, 'You're not my best friend anymore'. I look at the TV and I look at Kia and I've just turned off Peppa Pig. I'm like, 'You're not allowed to watch Peppa Pig anymore','' she said. 'Peppa Pig is a brat' Her video, posted under the username @kellyarvan, has been viewed more than 400,000 times in just one day - with many parents agreeing with her, some even confirming their kids no longer watch Peppa Pig. ''Peppa Pig is a brat, I banned my kids when I noticed their energy shifting,'' one said. ''Oh yes it's bad as. She fat shames her dad and everything. We stopped watching Peppa in our house years ago,'' another shared. ''I couldn't stand Peppa Pig. My niece would always say, 'I can't do it' and she'd never try to do things and yep... it was from that annoying pig,'' one shared. ''Could not agree more! Peppa Pig is a Bully! My kids are banned from watching,'' another chimed in. Some parents and teachers suggested their kids had picked up the phrase from childcare and school. ''My daughter doesn't watch Peppa Pig and 100 per cent got this from childcare and kindergarten,'' one shared. ''Unfortunately I work in childcare and the 'You're not my best friend' comment is age appropriate especially through that three-six age group. I see it year in and year out constantly. ''Peppa Pig or not - it's a phase they all go through,'' another said.

Alongside the show's much-loved characters appearing, there will also be singing and dancing. McFly stars Dougie Poynter and Tom Fletcher will also have their story of 'The Dinosaur that Pooped a Rock Show' hit the stage as a high-energy musical. Danny and Dino's Rockin' Adventure! will feature catchy songs by the duo and have lots of silly fun – including poo – which is a theme of the storybooks due to the dinosaur's unusual appetite. The third show - which will launch over the Easter break - is from Butlin's Skyline Gang and is called Imagine That! The show follows the gang who are dreaming big and imagining a world where anything is possible, with each member exploring their dream job. The fourth show is a new original production called Theatre of Rock, with hits from SIX, Tina and music icons including Queen, Bowie and U2. The show will start in February half-term. There are a number of shows returning too, including Jack & The Beanstalk and Animals & Mythical Beasts. For families with children aged five and under, a four-night Showtime Term-Time Midweek break costs from as little as £39 for a family of four. Butlin's reveals new £1.8million soft play attraction with three floors of activities Mike Godolphin, entertainment director at Butlin's, said: "We're excited to be bringing our own West End-quality productions alongside every tot's favourite characters to all three resorts, with Evie Pig in our new Peppa Pig show and The Dinosaur that Pooped. "We're confident our guests will love our brand-new shows, and what's even better is that they are all included in the price of our breaks, alongside our incredible pools, fairgrounds, playgrounds and soft play. "Our Showtime breaks offer fantastic value for money with four nights of family fun filled with non-stop daytime activities, West End quality entertainment and so much more. "It's the perfect holiday for a family with kids five and under." 4 All the shows are included in the price of Butlin's breaks, alongside pools, fairgrounds, playgrounds and soft play Credit: Butlin's Showtime Term-Time midweek breaks in 2025 shows currently include Snow White and Her Magnificent Friends, Peppa's Circus Celebration, The Butlin's Party Show Hosted by Mister Maker and Skyline Gang Beside the Sea. Butlin's is also offering up to 40 per cent off breaks in 2025 and 2026, when booked by July 1. Butlin's also recently launched a new mega sale with four-night stays for £9.75 each per night. Plus, one woman tried out Butlin's new all-inclusive holidays where food and drink is free – and found it was better value than a Spanish resort.

Peppa Pig parents go wild as £39.99 toy is scanning for 10p at local stores – here's exactly where to nab it…
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT retails in most shops for £39.99. So you can imagine how thrilled one mum was when she came across the Peppa Pig party bus for just 10p. 3 Parents are racing to B&M to nab this Peppa Pig toy for just 10p Credit: extremecouponingandbargainsuk/facebook 3 It retails for £39.99 elsewhere Credit: extremecouponingandbargainsuk/facebook 3 Annabel's child held on tightly to her new present after leaving the store Credit: extremecouponingandbargainsuk/facebook Annabel was out shopping in her local B&M in Wallsend when she came across the toy. But when she scanned it on the B&M app - the usual way savvy shoppers come across unmarked bargain buys - it didn't come up. It also didn't have a price tag on it, so she decided to go up to the till to ask how much it was. And it was at that point that she discovered it would cost her just 10 pence. "Peppa Pig party bus at B&M scanning for 10p," she wrote alongside pictures of her new purchase on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook. "There was no tag and doesn't scan on the app - says barcode not found. "£39.99 on Amazon and Smyths!" The party bus is a two in one playset that comes with three figures - Peppa, Danny Dog and Candy Cat - and 13 party-themed accessories. "Imagine Peppa and friends going for a rooftop ride in the cheery red double-decker bus, then pop the bus into party playset mode to discover 3 floors of feature-filled fun," a description of the product reads online. "What will the figures do next? How about a dance party using the twirling platforms? Mums issue stark warning about 'dark Peppa Pig' videos going viral on YouTube set out to target and terrify your kids "A spin on the roundabout toy? A ride down the slide? Should the balloons go on the bus, or on top of the jukebox?" And after Annabel shared snaps of her child with their new toy, others took to the comments section to plan their next trip to B&M with friends. "OMG!" one wrote. "Why not in the Dundee ones?" another sighed, tagging a mate. "Someone buy me one and stick on Vinted for me to buy for a couple of quid lol," a third commented. "Can't find none near me!"
