This actually is true with my younger relatives and certain words, and they're from Louisiana. They say radio, mirror, people, figure, and a bunch of other words all British and it's definitely because of Peppa Pig lmao. I also caught one of them once saying "post box" when referring to a mail box. Except I think it's kind of charming.
British kids show Teletubbies was all dubbed over with newly recorded American accents when broadcast in the US a couple of decades ago. Weird xenophobia against other anglo countries in children's television has been a thing in the US for a long time.
And Peppa Pig made all the kids british, mhm. That definitely happened.

They did that with Spot the Dog and some BBC documentaries. Strangely enough, Kipper the Dog and Oswald the Octopus kept their accents.
