    Elizabeth Hurley's pet pig has given birth to six piglets.

    The 49-year-old actress - who lives on a farm near Cirencester, south west England - has been left overjoyed after her porker Penelope gave birth to a large litter of hogs on Tuesday, and she couldn't wait to take to her Twitter account to post a picture of her latest animals.


    She captioned the image: "Proud Penelope."

    Earlier in the week, Elizabeth informed her 463,000 followers that her Gloucester Old Spot pig was in labour and she was eager to find out just how many piglets the sizeable swine would produce.

    She wrote: "Penelope, a fine specimen of a Gloucester Old Spot, is in labour. Two piglets so far.

    The 'Austin Powers' actress purchased the heft hog in September and following her piggy purchase she took to the social networking site to introduce the porker to her supporters.

    She wrote: "Here's one of my new babies.... Meet Penelope. (sic)"

    But the substantial sow is just one of a number of animals Elizabeth has on her farm, with her brood also including two alpacas and a parrot called Ping Pong.

    She recently tweeted: "Hurley menagerie count: 5 dogs, 2 cats, 13 chickens, 2 alpacas, 1parrot and 2 pigs. Jealous? Or quaking at the thought.... (sic)"

    Despite clearly having a penchant for pet pigs, it hasn't stopped Elizabeth from gorging on pork from time to time.

    In late August, she tweeted: "Divine walk with dogs and kids. Roast pork in aga. All good."
