The two Hollywood stars - who got engaged in 2019 - will both be part of an upcoming three-part special to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the iconic animated series.

Orlando will join his fiancee Katy - who had already been announced - in 'Peppa Pig Wedding Party Special'.

As reported by TVLine, he will play Mr. Raccoon, "a jeweler who assists with the preparations for Mr. Bull and Ms. Cow’s nuptials".

Katy will be voicing dress maker Ms. Leopard, who will be seen helping in the show's first ever wedding.

The episodes are set to debut in Spring 2024, while they were all filming prior to the Hollywood strikes.

In a post on X/Twitter, the official 'Peppa Pig' account confirmed: "OINKTASTIC news! Orlando Bloom will be the voice of Mr. Raccoon in a Peppa Pig special next year!

"All casting and filming for Mr Raccoon were contracted and completed before the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes and are compliant with SAG-AFTRA rules and conditions."

Katy's role was announced last week, with the team revealing their excitement at landing the 'Roar' hitmaker.

They wrote at the time: "We're SO excited to announce that @katyperry is the voice of the new character, Ms. Leopard in a Peppa Pig special, next year!"

Katy - who has three-year-old daughter Daisy Love Bloom with her man Orlando - has been open about how much her and her daughter love the cartoon pig.

In a statement last week, Olivier Dumont, President of Hasbro Entertainment, said: "We're incredibly thrilled to have such an A-list talent join the family-fun adventures in Peppa Pig.

"As a loving parent and fan of Peppa herself, Katy Perry is a perfect fit to voice the character of Ms. Leopard."
