We bloody knew that goody two-shoes act was a front.

Dora the Explorer may have had kids and parents the world over fooled with her bilingual adventures, but we weren’t having it for a second. We’ve long suspected she was hiding dark secrets in that purple backpack of hers – and now we feel utterly vindicated.

Dora – if that’s even her real name – has been suspended from school for vaping in the toilets. That’s right – your precious little adventure girl is a teenage tearaway. When you think about it, all the signs were there. Her dealer (Isa the Iguana), the narc on her tail (Swiper), and a f*cking monkey for a best friend.

‘My name’s Dora and I solve riddles whilst introducing pre-schoolers to basic Spanish! Ooh! Love me!’ Pathetic.

Okay, maybe we’re being a little bit disingenuous. It’s actually the 15-year-old actress who voices the character, Fatima Ptacek, who has been suspended for a sneaky vape. Ptacek was “caught using a vapor pen to inhale caramel-flavored water”, according to the Associated Press.

But don’t let that stop you having a healthy suspicion of her animated alter-ego. Mark our words – Dora the Explorer is trouble. And so is Sofia the First Worst for that matter…and don’t get us started on Peppa f*cking Pig and all her oinky bullsh*t.
