#ELLIE GOULDING ON MYMIND CD SERIES#
'I think it would be far weirder if I sounded the same as the ten year-old Donna who starred in TV series Byker Grove asking PJ (Anthony McPartlin, now half of Ant and Dec) if he'd like to share a banana milk.' 'My home has been in London for 20 years now, longer than I lived in my native North East.
In an article for the Mail on Sunday, Donna tackled them head on, saying: 'I'm an actress and a TV presenter: it's my job to speak clearly, to communicate effectively on and off camera. Viewers claims that she'd ditched her Geordie tones for a plummy accent, because of her relationship at the time with James Middleton, younger brother of the Duchess of Cambridge. She sparked a backlash over the way she spoke when she appeared on Celebrity Masterchef in 2016. Newcastle-born actress Donna Air has baffled fans with her clipped English accent for years. In a 2013 interview she said: 'I feel silly because I'm not ashamed of the Hereford accent now and it's too late to get it back.' 'I got clued into how I could change my singing voice from Destiny's Child to opera, so I learned I could change my speaking voice, too.'Įllie, who described her original accent as 'quite Bristolian', said she now regrets perfecting her sophisticated accent. She explained: 'I was obsessed with well-spoken people, period dramas and the news. Speaking to Grazia in 2014 about her influences as a child growing up in a single-parent household on a council estate, she said she was 'obsessed' with posh accents. I felt like people just knew I was from a council house, and that I was poor, because of the way I spoke,' she said. She shed it by listening to BBC newsreader Nicholas Witchell and watching period dramas. Ellie Goulding grew up on a council estate in Hereford, and previously revealed she was so embarrassed by her accent that she trained herself to speak differently.
