One of the world's most popular kids TV shows is beginning to worry parents after their children have shown weird behaviour after watching an episode.
Peppa Pig is loved by kids both in the UK and the US but now some parents are labelling their kids behaviour linked to the show as the "Peppa Effect".

She is also snorting like a piggy, but that is expected.
The character of Peppa Pig is played by 17-year-old Harley Bird who lives in Tring, Hertfordshire on a farm with her family and aptly has two pigs named Peppa and George.
