The Little Girl on The Haunting of Bly Manor Also Voices Peppa Pig
The Haunting of Bly Manor has been making it difficult for viewers to sleep without the lights on since it started streaming on Netflix last October 9. The new spine-chilling series, which may or may not involve creepy faceless ladies who abduct kids and lurk at the bottom of the lake, follows a young American nanny named Dani (Victoria Pedretti) who was tasked to look after two children—Flora, 8, and Miles, 10—and reside at the Bly Manor after an au pair’s tragic death.
Speaking of the young Wingrave children, while you were binge-watching all nine episodes of the horror series, we’re guessing that little Flora, portrayed by British actress Amelie Bea Smith, has probably left you quite an impression. There’s something strangely familiar about her, don’t you think? Specifically her voice.
Well, surprise, surprise! As it turns out, the nine-year-old child actress is actually the voice behind the popular preschool animated series Peppa Pig. (Yup, we’re dead serious.)
Peppa Pig, which has been around since 2004 (way before Amelie was born), has previously been voiced by several actresses in the past, including Harley Bird, Cecily Bloom, and Lily Snowden-Fine, who was the first girl to lend its vocals for the beloved cartoon character. Amelie took over the job earlier this year and has since completed 13 episodes, according to IMDb.
Netflix actually joined in on the buzz and took to social media to confirm the news. Its official Twitter account declared, “Amelie Bea Smith from The Haunting of Bly Manor is also the voice of Peppa Pig! Pass it on.”
