Peppa Pig fans shocked after discovering answer to 21-year-old mystery
They had no idea.
Peppa Pig fans have been left shocked after discovering the cartoon character’s real name.
Despite being on our screens for 21 years, fans of the show had no idea what the first name was of the main character.
In February, viewers were baffled by the ‘bonkers’ way Mummy Pig chose to announce her pregnancy.
The cartoon appeared on Good Morning Britain where she exclusively informed presenter Richard Arnold that she was expecting her third child.
Some viewers questioned whether they were hallucinating as they watched the breakfast show.
But now it appears there is even more drama with the show after it was revealed that Peppa is in fact the pig’s middle name.
