Peppa Pig’s family have revealed how the new member of their family Evie has settled into the family, 24 hours after her birth.

The cartoon family’s happy news was revealed on Tuesday, with Mummy and Daddy Pig’s third child, a sister for Peppa, four, and George, two, born at London’s Lindo Wing.

And to celebrate the birth, the new family of five have taken part in an ‘at home’ interview with Hello! Magazine, further tapping into the celebrity hysteria which is currently surrounding them.

In the tell-all, Daddy and Mummy Pig, speaking just hours after giving birth, gushed that the birth of their third piglet was ‘a miracle.’

‘We were very lucky – everything went smoothly and in eight, um, “short” hours of labour Evie was here,’ the cartoon matriarch told the magazine.

Daddy Pig sweetly added: ‘Mummy pig was AMAZING, and she brought our new baby girl into the world. What a miracle that is!’

Peppa Pig’s family have revealed how the new member of their family Evie has settled into the family, 24 hours after her birth

The family have been on screens since 2004 and in that time have remained a family of four, with Peppa and George not ageing throughout 21 years on screen.

So when did the couple decide to add to their brood?

‘I don’t think either of us ever had a specific plan – but we just got to that place where timing felt right,’ Mummy Pig explained. 

Daddy Pig agreed, adding: ‘And everything fell into place. We’re very lucky to be able to grow our family.’

But the couple were more hesitant about adding a fourth child to their family, with Daddy Pig panicking before Mummy Pig jumped in to clarify: ‘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.’

Mummy and Daddy Pig confirmed the happy news on Good Morning Britain, revealing their third piglet’s name is Evie.

Mummy Pig, who has a job involving doing ‘very important work’ on her computer and Daddy Pig, who ‘takes big numbers, transmutes them and calculates their load-bearing tangents,’ welcomed their little girl at the Lindo Wing in London – the same location where Kate Middleton gave birth to all three of her children.  

The birth was announced with a royal-inspired twist on the classic royal birth announcement, complete with a town crier, a scroll-style proclamation, and the unveiling of an official Peppa Pig birth certificate.

Big siblings Peppa and George are said to be over the moon and excited to meet their new baby sister, while Mummy and Daddy Pig are ‘looking forward to lots of happy snorts and sleepless nights.’  

GMB revealed that ‘understandably, Mummy Pig is resting but Daddy Pig has let me know he will be free to catch up next week for his first ever TV interview and another glimpse of the new baby.’

All new episodes of Peppa Pig will be launching on Milkshake from September.
