A CHILDMINDER has been grilled by outraged vegans after she posted a video of herself cooking bacon in a Peppa Pig costume.

Jane Mckennan, 64, says she isn't fussed by the backlash after her viral clip racked up nearly 5 million views on TikTok.

The Plymouth-based online star regularly garners over a million views with her comedy sketches on the social media platform.

Despite her clips leaving many fans in stitches, angry vegans have slammed her Peppa Pig inspired skit as "disturbing".

Jane, who has been a childminder for 30 years, said the outrage doesn't bother her as she also receives plenty of praise from her hilarious videos.

She told the Daily Mail: "You're always going to get somebody who hates it. A vegan made a video about me saying that it isn't funny to make fun of pigs being murdered for food.

"My video wasn't about cruelty to pigs, the pan wasn't even alight and it was funny because a woman my age was in a kid's Peppa Pig costume.

She added: "I get mainly positive comments but I get some trolls saying, 'I hate you, old woman go to bingo or go knit'.

"They're not going to change my life, they should go and do something more positive with theirs."

The viral grilling video shows Jane preparing to fry-up some bacon, miming Peppa Pig's voice as she waddles towards a pan.

"This is my little brother George, this is Mummy Pig and this is Daddy Pig", she says as she lays three rashers of bacon on top of the stove.

Jane said the Peppa Pig costume cost just 50p after she found it at a car boot sale, but it has gone on to feature in several of her viral videos.

While the clip has been slammed by some vegans as offensive, many others commented that the video left them in stitches.

One said: "Cracking up at this one – the costume is great".

"This is quality humour" said another.

Jane said her journey to TikTok fame began when a friend sent her a comedy sketch on the app, and she said she simply responded: "Well I can do that".

She then posted her first video in March 2020, but admitted she certainly didn't have a knack for it at the time.

She said: "Filming my first TikTok video, my hands were shaking and I used to have the camera the wrong way round.

"It only got a few views, not even my friends and family watched it."

She added: "It's just crazy at my age. I think a lot of people my age might do grandmother cooking videos and a lot of people comment saying I'm really young in my ways, so they can relate to that."

I think everyone is quite surprised about how I think. Maybe I've got a childish sense of humour!

Jane said she has since been scouted by Britain's Got Talent, and is considering giving up her career as a childminder to pursue TikTok as a full-time job.

Despite the occasional negative comment, Jane said she is delighted to be having a positive impact on many of her new fans.

"I actually had one guy say that my walking videos help people who are deaf, which I never even thought about," she said.

"With my walking ones, I use expressions and everything and it does the job for deaf people. It's using expressions without having to use words.

"If you're helping somebody, even if they're silly videos, it's worth it and cheers them up.
