Nadine Coyle's strong Derry accent has been mocked over the years by many, and a video has resurfaced this week of the singer making light of the situation.
The Derry woman embraced her native accent in the video and was applauded by her large following online for "standing up for her community."
One Twitter user said: "Nadine comes from a city of strong women who have endured the most challenging of circumstances. No matter what's going on and no matter how tough things get, Derry girls step up!"
The former Girls Aloud singer, 34, who will be roughing it in the outback with creepy crawlies and other celebrities said: "There's that thing that's always sort of came up about my accent and the way that I speak, so I was thinking that perhaps I've been in London for a long time, and perhaps I should fully embrace that."
The singer went on to test out a range of different accents, trying the London lingo, Los Angeles twang and even gave a decent attempt at her best Australian voice.
I’m a Celebrity launches on Sunday at 9pm on ITV.
