Another couldn’t contain their excitement and added: “DID YOU KNOW “Peppa” is Peppa Pig’s middle name and her full name is Pepperius Peppa Pig’

“Do you know Peppa Pig’s real name? it’s actually Papperius Peppa Pig!’

In news that delighted millions of fans, the big reveal came on ITV’s Good Morning Britain.

Showbiz correspondent Richard Arnold cut live to Mummy Pig, revealing that Mummy Pig and her husband Daddy Pig are expecting another baby this summer.

Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig are already parents to Peppa, four, and George, two, but will be adding to their brood very soon.

Speaking live from Peppatown, Mummy Pig exclusively revealed: “Well, I’m excited to share that our family is getting even bigger because… We’re having another baby!” as she held up a scan picture to camera for viewers to see.

Showing off her baby bump, she continued: “I’m due in the summer and we’re all so excited…”

Despite this, she added: “A little overwhelmed at the thought of having three children under five running around, but mostly just completely delighted.”

Asked if she had already shared the news with Peppa and George, Mummy Pig replied: “Oh yes, we weren’t able to keep it a secret for long.

“Peppa knew something was going on, and she’s such a curious thing – we had to tell her before she popped!

“They’ve had the occasional wobble and worry, but they’re mostly so excited!

“Every day they ask me how big the baby is, when is it coming, does it like Muddy Puddles and dinosaurs… It never stops!”

As they wrapped up the interview, sneaking into shot Peppa Pig eagerly joined her mother to say goodbye to the camera as Mummy Pig smiled: “Bye for now!”
