Peppa Pig co-creators Neville Astley and Mark Baker said:"As our longest-standing Peppa, Harley's award-winning contribution to the show over the past 13 years has been tremendous, making her a key part of the success of Peppa Pig."Her agent, Mark Jermin said she has been"a huge fan of the show since she was little, so voicing the title role is like a dream come true".

Is peppa pig white?

We're talking about Peppa Pig, surely the new voice should be called Amelia and not just 'Smith'...

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I think pepos should be took off the tele, she’s a spoilt brat who makes kids think it’s ok to be rude and horrible

Ohh Peppa saves us so many time in the Hospital. Been a loyal friend. Will sorley miss the voice.

There you go Megan!!!!!!

Ironic that her real name sounds like a character from the show

Aww man WTF? I hope they can find a good match for her voice, my son loves peppa, if I’m being honest so do I lol

Oh well thats just it then, forget brexit, killer viruses and the worlds troubles, this is devastating news. How we'll cope nobody knows.

This is not worthy news for my license fee, stop wasting it

She stepped aside and let someone else have a chance, didn’t want to hog the role.

Did she look at her bank account and thought I could retire now? Then immediately fell on her back laughing?

About time. As voice acting goes she was a bit hammy...

Step up...emmabclarke. I feed you the lines you knock them out of the park.

What she did was disgusting, glad they're taking action on what she did. Pig's can't talk how dare she imitate them.

I hated Peppa pig, bratty, entitled and rude. Unfortunately I didn’t know better with my first but my second has never heard of it 😌

What did she do wrong?!

Why’s this even news?

is the BBC telling porkies, or was her voice so streaky, that they had no option, but to give her the chop?

shortlist for replacements include: sam allardyce marco silva harry redknapp dean cain

She didn’t want to announce it but someone squealed

Do you really 'step down' from voicing a cartoon pig? Seems more like something you just quit.

Have people complained it's cultural appropriation because she's not an actual pig?

Seriously what’s happening in France at the moment doesn’t make your news broadcast but this does you are a joke BBC

Please tell me daddy pig is staying. He's my hero

Good Lord don’t do this to my grandbaby! 😱

Well she's grown up now.
