Entertainment Reporter Richard Arnold, 55, told how Daddy Pig had informed him of the happy news at 530am, shortly before the ITV daytime show hit screens.

He then revealed the little one's name was Evie, with the cute character completing the family.

Last month, the gender of Peppa's mum's unborn piglet was revealed.

And back in February, Mummy Pig's maternity news first came to light on GMB.

At the time, Richard cut live to Mummy Pig revealing that the parent - whose job involves doing "very important work" on her computer - and her husband Daddy Pig, who "takes big numbers, transmutes them and calculates their load-bearing tangents", were expecting another baby this summer. 

Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig are already parents to Peppa, four, and George, two.

Speaking live from Peppatown earlier this year, Mummy Pig exclusively revealed: “Well, I’m excited to share that our family is getting even bigger because... We’re having another baby!” as she held up a scan picture to camera for viewers to see. 

Showing off her baby bump, she continued: “I’m due in the summer and we’re all so excited…”

Despite this, she added: “A little overwhelmed at the thought of having three children under five running around, but mostly just completely delighted.” 

Asked if she had already shared the news with Peppa and George, Mummy Pig replied: “Oh yes, we weren’t able to keep it a secret for long. 

“Peppa knew something was going on, and she’s such a curious thing - we had to tell her before she popped!

“They’ve had the occasional wobble and worry, but they’re mostly so excited! 

“Every day they ask me how big the baby is, when is it coming, does it like Muddy Puddles and dinosaurs... It never stops!” 

Viewers can expect to see the new baby on screen in the autumn.

PEPPA'S FAMILY HISTORY

Peppa Pig first aired in 2004 and has since been broadcast in 180 territories and translated into 40 languages. 

Now it's spawned books, toys and even two theme parks, with the global Peppa empire now worth over £1billion.

Creators Neville Astley and Mark Baker admitted they were initially worried the idea would never get off the ground, and that people at first, were bored of the idea.

Astley explained: "People in the pub would ask us, 'What are you drawing?' We’d say, 'A pig, called Peppa, it’s going to be big'.

“They’d lose interest and wander off."
