GMB viewers say they've ‘had enough' after latest Peppa Pig interview
Good Morning Britain viewers have taken to social media to declare they're fed up with all the Peppa Pig news. Their fury comes after Peppa Pig and family took part in a chaotic interview with GMB's entertainment correspondent Richard Arnold about their newest addition to the family, Evie. During the interview, which is the first since the birth of Evie, Daddy Pig got a little emotional as he introduced the world to his daughter. Speaking about George and Peppa's introduction to their baby sister, Mummy Pig said: 'Oh, they could hardly contain themselves. 'But they were so gentle and sweet, too. Evie did a little laugh when she saw them, didn't she? Daddy Pig?' Daddy Pig then said with tears in his eyes: 'How could I forget? Sorry, that's me. Off again.' It seems, however, that not everyone is as moved by the Pig family's newest bundle of joy as Daddy. On X a number of people were quite scathing about the report, with @James Abbott01 writing ' Ofcom phones are ringing right now [to] complain is about Peppa Pig on #GMB… I'm being serious viewers are not happy about Good Morning Britain talking to a cartoon'. @InformeOculto meanwhile added 'More Peppa Pig drivel… Who exactly is this for?' @GreyhoundGeezer was similarly dismissive, posting 'Enough with this Peppa Pig nonsense.' 'How pathetic and puerile to keep harping on about bloody Peppa Pig,' added @Ladyjane223. 'This is not news. Embarrassing.' During the same interview, Daddy Pig said: 'It's been a long, tiring and completely amazing few days. 'Everything went well, and Mummy Pig has been incredible. Peppa and George were so excited to meet their new little sister. We're excited to meet her too.' They also spoke about the origin of their daughter's name, opting to go with something from their family history. 'Peppa had more than a few ideas for a while, she just wanted to call her baby forever. But we've decided to name her after my great aunt Evie,' said Mummy Pig. She added: 'I think right now we're just excited to be home, aren't we?' Daddy Pig added that the family is just looking to spend time together: 'George and Peppa are excited to play with Evie.' Just last week Mummy and Daddy Pig spoke about the labour. 'We were very lucky—everything went smoothly, and in eight, um, 'short' hours of labour, Evie was here,' Mummy Pig said about the birth,' they told Hello! 'Mummy Pig was amazing, and she brought our new baby girl into the world. What a miracle that is!', praised Daddy Pig. According to the first official snap of the happy family, Mummy Pig gave birth at 5:34am on May 20 at the Lindo Wing in London, where Kate Middleton welcomed all three of her children. An hour-long special featuring brand-new episodes based around Evie, titled Peppa Meets the Baby, will screen in cinemas globally on May 30. Got a story?

She said of the birth: "We were very lucky - everything went smoothly and in eight, um, 'short' hours of labour Evie was here." Mummy Pig said it was a "process" choosing a name for the piglet. She said the family had a few names "in mind" but felt they would find "the right one" after seeing her for the first time. She said that Peppa had "a lots of suggestions". She added: "But in the end, we found a picture of my great aunt Evie and it just seemed to fit."

Mummy Pig said that they "love her to pieces" and are both "protective" of their newborn piglet. She added that they are "so eager" to help Evie learn and play. Daddy Pig said that they have had "the odd wobble," but went on to share that the parents have then talked with them and helped them "feel heard and loved". Giving an insight into what Evie is like, Mummy Pig said that she does the "most adorable piggy wiggle" whenever music is playing. Hinting at what may be to come for the character, she added that the newborn "must be a musician at heart". Mummy Pig said that she feels "very looked after" and went on to suggest that the couple didn't have a "specific plan" for expanding their family. She said in the interview with HELLO! that they just got to a place "where timing felt right". Asked if they want more kids, Daddy Pig appeared panicked. Mummy Pig however shared: "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."

Too many, frankly," she told the publication. "Knowing it's a girl has narrowed our options down a bit - I'm not sure Peter, Percy or Patrick Pig really work as girls' names. But it's too difficult to choose now. When she's here and looking up at me and Daddy Pig, we'll just know the perfect name. That's what we did when Peppa and George were born." For those wondering where baby Evie made her grand entrance - the Peppa Pig family spared no expense. Mummy Pig welcomed her third child at the Lindo Wing in London - the same location where Kate Middleton gave birth to all three of her children, George, Charlotte, and Louis.

Back at home, big brother George and big sister Peppa are said to be 'over the moon' and counting down the moments until they can cuddle their new sibling. As for the proud parents, Mummy and Daddy Pig shared that they're 'looking forward to lots of happy snorts and sleepless nights.' And fans won't have to wait long to join the celebration themselves. A brand-new cinema special, Peppa Meets the Baby, lands in over 2,600 cinemas across 19 countries on May 30.
