Previous Page Next PageGood 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.’

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.’

‘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.
