Mum shocked as Peppa Pig plate she ordered for toddler arrives with rude word printed on it

A mum was left shocked after ordering a Peppa Pig plate for her toddler daughter - only to find it had a very cheeky slogan on it.

Maggy van Eijk shared a picture of the plate on Twitter and revealed she got more than she bargained for when she opened it.

The mum and author had accidentally ordered the set from a French retailer so the word 'groin' was printed all over the plate.

Translated to English from French, it means 'snout'

Posting to Twitter Maggy said: "My kid just unwrapped her new Peppa dinner set and I accidentally ordered a french version and now it says groin groin groin all over the plates and cup ffs."

But other parents found the the blunder amusing.

One said: "Living in France at present I find this hilarious. A child’s first chance to understand there are many different languages!”

"Omg. I’m reading this in bed and trying not to wake my husband up with my laughing," said another.

While others found more troubling issues with Peppa herself.

One said: "Am I the only one to think that Peppa’s head looks just the teeniest bit phallic…?"
