Miss Piggy is a puppet character who first appeared in 1976 on Jim Henson\u2019s sketch comedy series, The Muppet Show, first as a chorus pig before going on to have a greater role alongside Kermit the Frog, who she had an on-again off-again relationship with.<\/p>\n

The character was brought to life by puppeteer Frank Oz and quickly became a beloved character, known for her glamorous outfits, sassy personality and tendency to use French words such as “moi” and “vous”.<\/p>\n
