Imagine waking up one morning, and finding yourself with a completely brand new accent?! Well that’s exactly what happened to 26-year-old Verity Went. The Staffordshire-based barber grew up with a Midlands accent, but one day after taking a nap she found herself with a thick Geordie accent instead. While she has not been formally diagnosed, Verity said that every doctor she has spoken to believes it to be a case of foreign accent syndrome – a condition where the way you talk shifts and changes in a way that's sudden and very noticeable. She joins us today to tell us more, alongside neurologist Professor Mark Edwards.
