After losing his place in notes during a speech to business leaders, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson went into an anecdote about Peppa Pig World and the success of the cartoon character.

"Yesterday I went, as we all must, to Peppa Pig World," Johnson told the business executives. "I loved it. Peppa Pig World is very much my kind of place: it has very safe streets, discipline in schools".

"Who would have believed that a pig that looks like a hairdryer or possibly a Picasso-like hairdryer, a pig that was rejected by the BBC, would now be exported to 180 countries with theme parks both in America and China?" he said. (Video: Reuters/CBI Peppa Pig photo: iStock)
