Peppa Pig's mum gives birth and announces adorable name
The Peppa Pig universe has grown a little bigger with the arrival of a baby girl. Mummy Pig gave birth to her first child early on Tuesday morning - and she's already stealing the hearts of the nation. The news was shared on Good Morning Britain, where it was announced that the new piglet was born at 5:34 AM, and was given the name Evie.
Fans of the animated family have been following the pregnancy journey closely ever since Mummy Pig announced she was pregnant back in February. She made the shock announcement on Good Morning Britain that she was welcoming another piglet into the family.
Since then, the excitement has only grown. Just last month, Mummy Pig had a spectacular gender reveal party at London's Battersea Power Station, leaving fans frilled when it was revealed a little girl was on the way, the Mirror reports.
Mummy Pig spared no expense telling viewers everything about her birth. Little baby Evie was born in the Lindo Wing in London - the same location where Kate Middleton gave birth to all her children - George, Charlotte, and Louis.
Little Evie was born at the ultra-exclusive maternity ward at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, where a single night will set you back £5,900 and a top tier deluxe package will cost you £7,500.
Back at home, big brother George and big sister Peppa are said to be "over the moon" and counting down the moments until they can meet their new sibling.
As for the proud parents, Mummy and Daddy Pig said that they're "looking forward to lots of happy snorts and sleepless nights."
Fans can join in the celebrations, with a brand new cinema special. Peppa Meets the Baby will be shown in over 2,600 cinemas across 19 countries on May 30. The hour-long musical event will include 10 brand new episodes, following as Peppa and George get ready to welcome their baby sister.
Ahead of the cinema release, the gender reveal episode premiered on the Peppa Pig Tales YouTube channel on May 3, giving fans a chance to look at the moment that had every viewer screaming in excitement.
With Evie's safe arrival, long-time fans of the Peppa Pig family have taken to social media to welcome the newest member of the family. One fan wrote: "Evie is such a beautiful name. Peppa and George will be so happy to have another baby sister and my children are going to love watching it even more."
As someone else stated: "Why am I emotional over a cartoon pig giving birth. This is so sweet. Peppa and Evie!!!! That is the cutest thing ever. Love this for Mummy Pig."
Since arriving on screens in 2004, Peppa Pig has become a global sensation airing in 180 regions and translated into 40 languages - with a billion-pound empire of books, toys and theme parks.

Prince Harry's 'sadness' at losing out to Prince William is 'price to pay' in bitter rift
Just days after a close friend of both Harry and William announced the birth of his first child, Jennie Bond has shared how the news could push the royal brothers even further apart The Duke and Duchess of Westminster, who are good friends of both Prince William and Prince Harry, announced the birth of their first child. Both princes have a long history with the couple, with William and Harry's friendship with Hugh Grosvenor going back years. The Duke is even godparent to Prince George, and also reportedly to Prince Archie. With a new baby in the mix, and Harry and William's feud seemingly still raging on despite the rumours of peace talks within the Sussex camp and royal family, former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond has revealed how the tiny tot could drive an even bigger wedge between the royal brothers. Jennie's comments come after news that Prince Harry will 'never be forgiven' by two major royals despite reconciliation hope. The royal expert told the Mirror that despite the joyous news of the baby girl's birth, the Duke and Duchess could be caught in the middle of the warring brothers if they are considering either prince for a role as godfather. Jennie said: 'As with a marriage break-up, many of William and Harry's friends have been left feeling obliged to take sides. Hugh was good friends with both William and Harry but, since the brothers' dramatic rift, the Duke Of Westminster has had to navigate a tricky path. 'And it seems he has largely sided with William, (at least in public). It was William who was invited to the big wedding, he was an usher, and William who stood alongside Hugh and his new wife Olivia cheering on Aston Villa in their exciting Champions League quarter final." Given the Duke's long history with William, Jennie believes: 'If there is to be a royal godfather to the couple's newborn daughter, the likelihood is that it will be William. There's already lots of 'cross pollination' between the families as far as godparents are concerned, so it seems likely that William will be asked.' While Harry is likely to be upset if William is chosen to the be the baby's godfather over him, Jennie said the decision would've been made easier by the Grosvenors due to Harry's current, and possibly ongoing, situation with the Firm. Jennie said: 'These awkward decisions are made slightly easier by the fact that Harry lives so far away, with no prospect of ever moving back to the UK. And that's not the ideal way to carry out any godparenting duties. 'So I think Harry will understand if he is left out and William is chosen as godfather. But it must still be rather sad for him to see his once close friends carrying on their lives without him, while William continues to enjoy the warmth and fun of their friendship. It is, however, the price he has to pay for making such damaging allegations and causing such a bitter rift with his family.' The Duke and Duchess of Westminster welcomed their baby daughter last week, announcing that the little girl's name is Cosima Florence Grosvenor. After revealing they were expecting their first child back in March, the couple announced the birth of their first child in a statement, saying the baby was born in London, adding: "Both the Duchess and Cosima are doing well. The Duke and Duchess now look forward to spending this special time together as a family." Cosima is of Greek and Italian origin. The name carries a beautiful, elegant meaning and is derived from the Greek word kosmos (κόσμος), which means order, harmony, or the universe.

'I usually avoid full coverage foundations but L'Oreal's new launch has changed my mind'
Mirror's shopping writer Grace swears by hydrating skin tints for her everyday base, but can L'Oreal's new full coverage 2-in-1 foundation and concealer compete? When it comes to foundation and base products, I've already leaned towards lower coverage skin tints. I love the hydrated, non-cakey finish they tend to leave on the skin. My go-tos include Ilia's Super Serum Skin Tint, £42, Sculpted By Aimee's Hydra Tint, £23, and Revolution's ultra-affordable Skin Blur Soft Focus Skin Tint, £5. However, recently I've been on the hunt for a fuller coverage foundation for those days when I'm looking for a little extra polish or want my makeup to last from the office straight through to post-work drinks. After trialling a few that felt thick, drying, and heavy, I finally stumbled on a winner. The product that's earned its spot in my routine is L'Oreal Paris' new Infallible Skin Ink 2-in-1 Foundation and Concealer, priced at a purse-friendly £14.99. This clever 2-in-1 hybrid acts as both a foundation and concealer, offering buildable coverage with a soft matte finish that still feels lightweight and breathable on the skin What I love about this complexion product is that it's designed to blend seamlessly, leaving behind no unwanted lines or patches, so your skin still looks like skin, just smoother. At the same time, it delivers more coverage than a skin tint or tinted moisturiser, effectively covering spots, pigmentation, or blemishes without feeling cakey. And because it's a two-in-one product, it cuts out the need to layer concealer on top, helping to keep your base fresh and natural. It also uses fusion technology to give coverage that stays put for up to 48 hours, meaning no midday touch-ups are needed. Another bonus is that it makes a great handbag product to carry around due to its compact and small size. As I mentioned, touch-ups aren't really needed. However, if you're in the office and want a little extra coverage for the evening, you can easily slot this in your bag and use it on the go thanks to its handy doe-foot applicator. My skin is oilier, so if you have very dry skin, you might struggle with this product clinging to dry patches. To combat this, I make sure my skin is fully prepped with a hydration moisturiser and a milky toner or serum underneath. My favourite ones are BYOMA's Hydrating Milky Toner, £11.99, Curel's Moisture Facial Milk, £20, and Beauty of Joseon's Glow Replenishing Rice Milk, £15.50. I love the glow they give and how much they moisturise the skin, especially when prepping it for make-up.

This is what a porn star really thinks of age verification on adult sites
This week a modelling website I've been using for decades suddenly demanded I upload my passport to prove my age. Me. The wrinkliest model in town! I giggled, then realised they weren't kidding, and got grumpy. It turns out that the UK, once a sensible isle, is now pioneering a new national pastime: legislating the internet into oblivion. The latest entrant into this noble tradition is the Online Safety Act, which aims to make the web safer for children by demanding adult sites implement industrial-strength age verification. It sounds reasonable. After all, no one wants kids stumbling onto triple anal fisting when they're innocently trying to get their homework done. More seriously, there's no doubt we should be doing all we can to protect children from the dangers of social media. But like many well-meaning policies, this one seems to have been cooked up by people who understand the internet the same way Victorian physicians understood female hysteria. How do you prove someone's age online? The government's answer is 'upload ID', which, in porn terms, translates to: please send a picture of your driver's license to a company whose business model is tits. I mean, maybe we'll look after it and not tell everyone… unless your preferences are totally hilarious.

Porn is one of the few areas where people universally do not want their personal data stored. Do we really want some anonymous third-party age verifier compiling a database of who's watching what, and when? That's not a regulatory measure — it's a blackmailer's wet dream. There's also the illusion of effectiveness. The idea that teenagers — the most technologically savvy and hormonally motivated demographic on earth — will be stymied by a login screen would be charming in its innocence, were it not so irritating. Adult content producers now face a labyrinth of compliance hell. They must become data custodians, biometric bouncers, and security experts, lest they be slapped with gigantic fines. A clips site is demanding I remove videos of my mother because I didn't obtain a model release form for her when they were uploaded many years ago. It wasn't obligatory then, and now I can't, her being dead. These are the only videos I have of my mother. I hope society feels its moral well-being is saved if they're destroyed. The law doesn't just affect the mega-sites; it hits indie producers, like me and many of my chums. If we don't adhere to these rules we risk being shut out of our own audience. This isn't regulation, to me. It's gentrification and class war. Plenty of women dream of turning pictures of their feet into a side hustle – but these new rules could spell an end to that. People won't stop consuming porn, either — they'll just get it from sketchier places. It's like prohibition… the drinkers kept on drinking. More Trending The assumption that all pornographic content is generated by some evil sleaze machine aimed at corrupting youth is nonsense. Much of modern adult content, including everything I make, is inclusive, ethical, and joyous. The law punishes the people trying to do it right, while shady operators just change servers and keep streaming. If the UK really wanted to help, maybe they'd teach proper digital literacy, invest in real sex education, and talk to actual experts in online safety.
