Peppa Pig has introduced its first same-sex couple onto the children's TV show. The animated programme, which has aired on Channel 5 since May 2004, is one of the most popular series aimed at children of pre-school age and follows the adventures, mishaps and friendships of titular character Peppa Pig.
In Monday morning's instalment, the show made history by introducing its first same-sex parents, Mummy Polar Bear and Doctor Polar Bear. During the episode, Peppa and her friends are drawing pictures of their families when Penny Polar Bear shows her picture of two female polar bears in dresses, the Mirror reports.
Penny says: "I’m Penny Polar Bear. I live with my mummy and my other mummy. One mummy is a doctor and one mummy cooks spaghetti. I love spaghetti."
