Killing Eve fans 'obsessed' as Jodie Comer nails Scottish accent

Killing Eve fans were overjoyed when actress Jodie Comer proved once again that she can nail any accent.

Jodie, who plays Villanelle, naturally has a Liverpool accent, but she speaks mostly in a Russian accent when playing her assassin character.

But she has also nailed Southern English, New York, and now Scottish in Sunday's episode.

As Villanelle and her mentor Dasha (Harriet Walters) arrived in Aberdeen, Scotland, Villanelle chatted to the hotel concierge in a perfect Scottish accent.

Delighted fans took to Twitter to discuss how well believable Jodie's accent was.

"Jodie Comer #KILLINGEVE does the most impeccably perfect Scottish accent.

"Is there any accent she can’t do. Can we all just take a minute to appreciate how brilliantly talented she is. Love her," wrote one.

"Just caught up with Killing Eve and I can't get over how good it is! Villanelle's Scottish accent was brilliant! #KILLINGEVE " added another.

Love Villanelle's Scottish accent #KillingEve #KillingEve3 " wrote a third. 

" #KillingEve Accent to Accent incredible," added a fourth.

A fifth penned: "That Scottish accent!!!! I'm creasing!"

Jodie recently revealed playing the psychopath in Killing Eve has made her realise how expressive her face can be.

The actress, who still lives with parents Jimmy and Donna, found inspiration at home.

She said: “Some of the faces I pull are outrageous but my mum is like, ‘Definitely seen that one before.’

“But I am also like, ‘Mum, I get half of them from you’.”

But the actress playing the killer in season three of the BBC series does admit to a softer side.

After a scene she often apologises to the actors she kills because she is afraid she has hurt them.

She said: “I try to be as careful as I can. That is always so tense when you go to the scene and say, ‘I am sorry is this sore? Am I hurting you?’

“The funniest one was in season one when Villanelle clamps a guy’s private parts.

"When we came to that we all had a giggle about it."
