Quote:
Like most little girls her age, Kiannah Cox loves everything to do with Peppa Pig.
So her mother, Natalie, 30, thought there was no harm in indulging her daughter by letting her watch the cartoon each day.
But when Kiannah, two, began regularly using the F-word she was horrified to learn the tot had picked it up from her favourite Peppa DVD.
In the episode, named End of Term Party, Grandpa Rabbit is telling Daddy Pig about Peppa's school teacher Madame Gazelle, who used to play in a pop group.
He says the name of the rock band, which is supposed to be the 'Rocking Gazelles,' but Miss Cox claims it sounds like he is saying the 'F-ing Gazelles.'
Last night Miss Cox demanded the DVD be pulled from sale until the mistake could be rectified.
'My childminder came home from shopping with Kiannah one day and told me that had been saying 'F-ing' when she saw Peppa toys in a shop,' Miss Cox said.
'We realised she was just copying what she had seen on the television.'
Miss Cox said the DVD was obviously not properly scrutinised before going on sale.
'I don't really care what Grandpa Rabbit is meant to be saying, to anyone who is watching it sounds like F-ing.
'It has caused me a lot of embarrassment. Kiannah can only say a handful of words, so it was all the more shocking that one of her first was the F-word.
'Nice things are supposed to come out of children's mouths, not that.
'We decided to decorate their room with everything Peppa Pig because it was a big deal them being in a bedroom,' she added.
'Now I just want it all gone, I don't want Peppa, she's got to go.'
