Peppa Pig and family appeared in a chaotic interview on Good Morning Britain about their newest addition to the family, Evie.

In their first interview 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.’

Mummy Pig added: ‘It’s been quite an emotional week!’

Things also got slightly chaotic as the FaceTime call ended up with Peppa holding the phone at one point and with a close-up on her face as the four-year-old struggled to operate the phone call.

During the 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.

Congratulations Mummy Pig!

He died last year at the age of 99.

They had no idea.

Yes, this is really happening.

The news had me snorting like Daddy Pig.

For many kinds of mothers – such as those who are visibly Muslim like me – having multiple children actively otherises us.
