British animated TV series Peppa Pig is welcoming a brand-new member. On February 27, Peppa Pig’s mother, better known as Mummy Pig, announced that she was expecting her third piglet.

Mummy Pig appeared on ITV's Good Morning Britain on Thursday, where she shared her pregnancy news with host Richard Arnold, displaying a sonogram and her baby bump.

"I'm excited to share that our family is getting even bigger because we're having another baby," she said.

The character of the mother, voiced by British actress, comedian, writer, and producer Morwenna Banks, added that the unborn piglet was “due in the summer.”

For over two decades, Peppa Pig has been narrating the story of preschool piglet and her family, which includes Daddy Pig, Mummy Pig, and little brother George. As per Peppa Pig World website, Daddy Pig is around 30 years old, while his wife is slightly younger.

Following the now-viral announcement, the internet has been filled with diverse reactions. Here are some of them from the social networking site, X.

“Omgg, so cute,” a netizen wrote.

“Mummy Pig is pregnant. What a time we live in (me n my friend are making Peppa Pig head canons),” another netizen wrote.

Others continued to weigh in.

“Never did I ever expect for Peppa Pig's mom to announce that she's pregnant with her third child before Taylor Swift released Reputation tv, but here we are,” a user wrote.

“In other news outside of politics: Peppa Pig’s mom is pregnant. It’s fair to say I don’t think Elon Musk is responsible!” another user wrote.

“Who was gonna tell me that Mummy Pig is pregnant??? First of all Peppa has been 5 since I was 5, what is going on lmao, and they showed it on GMB?? This country is so unserious,” a fan wrote.

Elsewhere during her announcement, Mummy Pig shared being “thrilled” with the upcoming addition yet feeling “a little overwhelmed at the thought of having three children under five running around.” She added she informed Peppa right away as she was “such a curious thing.”

“We've had the occasional wobble and worry but they're mostly so excited,” the mother mentioned.

Mummy Pig wrapped up by wishing that her unborn child took after his/her older siblings and loved dinosaurs and muddy puddles, adding they would decide on the name when the baby arrived.

Exploring age gap between Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig amid Peppa Pig announcement

Peppa Pig is a 4-year-old pig who lives in a “little house on a hill” at 3 Astley Street in the fictional Peppatown near London with her parents and younger brother George, 2, as per Peppa Pig World. She is described as a lovable and bossy piglet who loves adventures and playing with her friends, besides visiting her grandparents, Granny and Grandpa Pigs.

According to the We Got This Cover (WGTC) website, Peppa considers her father to be “very, very old.” However, in the episode Daddy Pig’s Birthday, he has 13 candles on his birthday cake. Since it’s unlikely that a father’s character would be 13 years old, it could be presumed that the creators meant to show 31 backward.

Regardless, as explained on Peppa Pig World, he is somewhere in his 30s. However, his exact age has never been disclosed. Notably, pigs in the real world would have a usual lifespan of around 20 years.

Meanwhile, WGTC also noted that in the episode Mummy Pig’s Birthday, Peppa called her mother “very old” after Daddy Pig whispered Mummy Pig’s age into her ears. Daddy Pig also mentioned that his wife needed only “three candles” for her birthday cake. It remains unclear whether he meant Mummy Pig was 30 years old. Regardless, it is a known fact that Peppa and George’s mother is slightly younger than their father, somewhere between her 20s and 30s.
