Evie did a little laugh when she saw them, didn't she Daddy Pig?" "How could I forget?" said an emotional Daddy Pig as he shed a tear. "Sorry, that's me off again!" he exclaimed, as Mummy Pig explained it had been an emotional week for the family. Rounding off the interview with advice for new parents, Mummy Pig said: "Trust your instinct and enjoy every moment, as Daddy Pig added: "Always keep a spare nappy or so nearby. AND don't let your four year old loose on live television!" Last week, host Susanna Reid asked how much Evie Pig weighed when she was born - and this week she finally got her answer.
