Hold onto your snouts – the Peppa Pig universe just got a whole lot bigger… and fans are absolutely squealing with joy.
In a twist NO ONE saw coming, Britain’s favourite cartoon pig family has welcomed a brand-new member – and the news broke in the most dramatic fashion possible: LIVE on national television.
Yes, you read that right. In a move straight out of the Royal Family playbook, Mummy Pig gave birth to baby Evie at 5:34 AM on Monday – and the announcement was made on Good Morning Britain, with all the fanfare of a Buckingham Palace bulletin.

Entertainment reporter Richard Arnold was the bearer of this porcine bombshell, flashing the first photo of the adorable newborn as stunned viewers clutched their morning brews and scrolled frantically for confirmation.
Baby Evie was born at the prestigious Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital in London – the same luxury suite used by none other than Kate Middleton. Coincidence? We think not.
According to sources close to the Peppa team (read: official press release), the name Evie is a touching tribute to Mummy Pig’s great aunt, though some fans are already whispering about connections to Evie from “Heartstopper” – because why not blend cartoon canon with Netflix fan theories?
Peppa, now four, reportedly burst into tears of joy when she met her baby sister. George, ever the quiet one, dropped his toy dinosaur and gasped – which, if you’ve been watching since 2004, is basically a full monologue.
The family had teased the pregnancy in early 2025, complete with a gender reveal that trended on TikTok and sent Instagram into meltdown. But even the most die-hard Peppa stans didn’t expect the actual BIRTH to get prime-time airtime.

Cue the memes. Cue the chaos. Cue the conspiracy theories. Is Evie the start of a new Peppa spin-off? A merchandising masterstroke? Or just a sweet cartoon storyline designed to melt our collective hearts?
In a world where Aussie sensation Bluey has been stealing the toddler spotlight, this feels like Peppa’s BIG comeback moment. It’s heartfelt. It’s headline-worthy. It’s hog heaven.
Oh, and mark your calendars – baby Evie’s official screen debut is happening in Peppa Meets The Baby, hitting cinemas May 30. Yes, cinemas. Because why settle for the small screen when you can go full Hollywood?
