Perrie Edwards' accent shocks Good Morning Britain viewers as Little Mix star appears from isolation

Perrie Edwards left some TV viewers confused with her accent on Friday morning as she appeared on Good Morning Britain.

Perrie, from South Shields, is of course a member of the world's biggest girl group - Little Mix - and she spoke to hosts Ben Shepherd and Lorraine Kelly from her home as she and footballer boyfriend, Liverpool and England star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain self isolate.

The pair went viral last weekend as they livened up their time indoors with a TikTok video which has since been copied by millions of people.

Perrie, 26, spoke about that, as well as how Alex is coping with the Premier League being postponed and Little Mix's new single, but while she gave an entertaining interview, it was her accent that had many people talking, mainly down to the fact it had change dramatically from her native North East twang.

One viewer watching at home tweeted: "where is perrie edwards geordie accent gone? Is it in isolation?" and, referencing other Geordie celebs who've 'lost' their accents, another reacted: "Hahahhaah state of Perrie Edwards accent, another one to add to the Michelle Bass, Donna Air, Robson Green, Sting back catalogue."

We have to say, in our opinion you can definitely still hear some Geordie in there, but remember of course Perrie isn't technically a Geordie. Hailing from South Shields, she is a proud Sanddancer.
