Since it first hit our TV screens in 2004, children's TV show Peppa Pig has become one of the most popular around with youngsters, with the cartoon revolving around a female pig called Peppa and her family.

Actress Harley Bird, who has voiced main character Peppa since series three, appeared on This Morning today (Thursday 12th December), where she promoted the show's brand new Christmas single.

However, viewers were left in complete shock when Harley, who first joined the show at the age of just five, revealed she is turning 18 tomorrow!

Speaking to hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, Harley said, "I'm going to Dollhouse VIP which is Tom Zanetti's club in Leeds."

Much to his shock, Phillip laughed and said, "Peppa Pig's gonna be in the club in Leeds celebrating her 18th birthday I love that."

Harley was on the daytime show to promote Peppa Pig's brand new Christmas single 'Bing Bong Christmas', but she also delighted viewers by wishing their children a very special Christmas in her amazing Peppa voice-over.

The actress took over the role of Peppa Pig from Cecily Bloom in series three, and since then she's worked on a number of other shows such as Doctor Who and Disney's So Sammy.

Speaking on This Morning about her long run on the show, Harley said, "I've been doing Peppa for so long that whatever happens with it now it's been so much fun. This is I think my 13th year of doing Peppa which is mental."
