Peppa Pig and her brother George are getting a baby sister!
Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig’s gender reveal was nothing short of iconic. Held at London’s Battersea Power Station, the big moment was unveiled with flickering lights on the building’s chimneys.
Earlier this year, Peppa Pig's mother, Mummy Pig, announced that she was expecting her third child. It was an exciting time for the Peppa Pig family and fans worldwide.
Described as the matriarch of the animated family, Mummy Pig blurred the lines between fiction and reality when she appeared in a surprise live interview on ITV’s 'Good Morning Britain' with Richard Arnold.
"I'm due in the summer, and we're all so excited," Mummy Pig said.
The segment felt refreshingly spontaneous, especially when Peppa suddenly burst in, exclaiming that she could see her mum on TV.

The Peppa Pig team took things up a notch with a charming gender reveal for Mummy Pig that captured hearts everywhere.
LBC states, "The gender reveal was marked today by a sweet celebration at Battersea Power Station, in collaboration with National Children's Trust. The station's chimneys were lit up in pink, signifying Mummy Pig's third baby will be a girl."
The episode revealing the baby's gender is set to go live on YouTube on May 3 and will form part of the Peppa Pig series.
For over 20 years, the brand has been a staple in households worldwide, growing beyond screens into books, toys, and even a theme park – and now, their animated family is growing too.
