‘I Woke Up One Morning and Had a Thick Geordie Accent’ | This Morning

- 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.

#ThisMorning - Zábava
I'm from the Newcastle area & I've heard people try to immitate Geordie, you can always tell. This lady is speaking impeccable Geordie, absolutely flawless. I'm glad it's been a positive experience for her. Much love from Geordieland
it clearly hasn't all been a positive experience judging by the other things she said, but she's remaining optimistic and has put a brave face on it. That's pretty incredible really. She said she has experienced horrific migraines, seizures, numbness down one side of her body and speech problems for years. She said she's hoping it doesn't get bad again as she hasn't had a seizure for a while. I have FND too, it's horrible and can be quite debilitating.
Waking up with a Geordie accent must be terrible, I feel for the poor lady
She has the accent but doesn't use the words, she should come see me I will teach her the ways😅
@@KrisRoberts114 way aye a good idea pet
@@aldozilli1293 I'd rather be geordie than scouse manc or brummie, fancy thinking all the English should talk like they're from Kent or somewhere
Foreign accent syndrome is really rare. I remember watching a video of a lady who woke up with a Chinese accent
Racist comment coming from you.
Class😂
Chinese accent? What's wong with that?
Its absolute BS, and I can and always have been able to dramatically change my voice to over 50 different accents, Scottish, Welsh, American, Australian, Irish I do them all. I can even do a Zimbabwean accent.
@@captricharddee3634 who said there was something wrong with it?
A west Midlands accent is very difficult to lose, and after listening girl there is no doubt that she is 100% genuine. Sometimes severe shock can do strange thing to a person.
Maybe she is reincarnated
I’m actually from there too and after living in America just for a year, I somehow got an American accent. I still get asked where I’m from in my hometown 😂😂😂
One day you're Alison Hammond, the next you're Cheryl Cole 😂
This comment is golden 😂
Thanks! racking my brain for who she reminded me of.
😂
Its just Cheryl now, pet
Not sure which is worse !
as a geordie, theres nothing worse than a fake geordie accent. this ladys accent is actually spot on. mad how the brain works tho x
I agree with you 💯 she certainly sounds genuine!
agree, very spot on for sure. i could swer shes from the new castle.
I learned how to speak geordi in drama school, I spent a year practicing then lived there for 10 months, right in the heart of the city..... When I go out there now, I put on the accent and my brain is just triggered to the accent... I pass as a geordi everytime..... You can fool anyone with practice.......... Don't be fooled by this clown...
I love the geordie accent x I'm a lancashire lass x
@@roseyk7677 there’s so many variations of the accent though, depending on which side of the River Tyne you’re from. I’ve lived in Leeds now for 30 years and can easily understand an accent and know if it’s North, West, East or South of the city. I lived in the Tyne Valley area for 18 year’s and speak nothing like someone from the other side of the city. Local dialect is unique so it’s impossible to say she’s not genuine. It’s the same everywhere throughout the world.
I’m born and bred in London and this used to happen to me after watching an episode of Byker Grove.
🤣🤣🤣, Its true tho....After watching Brookside, well you know 🤣
Not funny
Based 😅
Oh yes we’ve all been there
@@Diana-lk6gxyes it is.
The lady doing the interview sympathises. She is from inner city Glasgow but woke up one morning in the middle of a field sounding like Worzel.
😂
😂😂😂😂
Nice one 😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
The women is obviously faking it, and what a great way to get payed on TV, I can do a very convincing Irish accent despite never going there.
Josie and Dermot’s very confused but genuinely concerned faces are just too funny 🤣
She's more Geordie than me and I was born and raised in Newcastle.
But is the fog on the Tyne all yours all yours?
@bigbasil1😂😂😂😂908
Same as me
I love the Geordie accent. I wish I could do it so well. Maybe I'll go for a nap...
😂😂
I’m from Newcastle and it’s my normal accent
I lived there for a few years and honestly the accent made me sick 🤣. Only some variants are nice especially in women. I like this girl and Cheryl Cole’s accent but the “radgie” accent. No thank you
@@lucindawinehouse2002that tends to be the case when your from Newcastle..
😅😅😅
This is bizzare! Even the "it's mental, a know". Is such a geordie saying!
I always say that and I'm from Notts lol.
I say that and I’m from Glasgow haha
“it’s mental, ano”
and the "my mam" part
Am in midlands and we say it too lol
I watched this expecting her to be a fraud but this is totally genuine. Wow!!
You’re have a bubble surely mate? It’s as genuine as wrestling
Lol could not be more BS if she tried.
@@HOLLASOUNDSand you still watched ahahahahahhaha
@@user-oz5pc8zn5e I like to have a look at what the sheep are eating.
@@HOLLASOUNDSspot on she pronounced 'doctors'2ways in the same sentence, ppl are so gullible
I'm from the NE and her accent is more Geordie than mine, incredible, it's so accurate, I almost don't believe she's not from Newcastle. Thank god she's ok with it.
I'm from County Durham and she's more Northern than me too 🤣
It's more the posh end accent like Newcastle north not the west end, the west end tends to have a more rough Northumbrian/Middlesborough twang intertwined
No it doesn't 😂 the Geordie accent is nothing like anything from Middlesbrough @@KrisRoberts114
i’m from northumberland and i already don’t sound geordie but this just puts my accent to shame 😭
@london8701 look up 1976: Northumbrian accents,its a bbc documentary, that's what a proper northumbrain accent sounds like🤣 good luck understanding them, my grandad whips his accent out when speaking to me but uses his proper English for everyone else😅
The Geordie accent is really nice. I’m American and I absolutely love it.
My whole time in America they were just saying huh?? Everytime
As a geordie, her accent is actually spot on.
😂
Unreal isn't it!!!!
I can't get over it, even if it was put on it's better than any "impression" I've ever heard!
@@tallulahbaddulah
I was in Newcastle the other week and she even looks the part 😂
She even says Mam and not mum etc... Crazy!
I suffer with functional neurological disorder and it’s never spoken about im so glad it’s been mentioned it needs more awareness , my whole life has changed because of functional neurological disorder
Agreed❤
My 11 year old daughter has been diagnosed with fnd since October, it's been really difficult. Good luck to you for the future.
Are you guys on the FND groups on FB?
I hope your daughter gets good help, that must be very hard at a young age.
Same, just been diagnosed. Imagine if this happened. Tbh I think it’s a label for when they don’t know what’s going on
i’m amazed, i live in newcastle, born and raised. she has a perfect accent
im so lucky to be a geordie because whenever we go anywhere else in the country its always a conversation starter.
I lived in Barnsley for 3 years and everyone complemented my accent.
Same here in Australia
As a southerner I LOVE the Geordie accent so much
This is a whole new way of reinventing yourself 😂
New years rez. Be geordie
Absolutely amazing. Thank goodness she likes her new accent!
this reinforces a few possibilities I believe.
we are either living in a dimension/ parallel universe and her other dimension has come through.
or perhaps our soul never dies and her previous life she was once a Geordie, and that part of her soul has re-manifest itself.
or there is Geordie in her DNA from her lineage and that part of her DNA has been activated in her brian
or the brain is so powerful that even though we don’t consciously remember and memories something, the brain is constantly recording everything thing we experience with our five senses. it’s stored there in our subconscious. maybe she has watched lots of Geordie programs etc and that part of her brain has become activated
People are so unbelievably shallow these days. Of the dozens of comments, possibly hundreds this is the only comment that deserves more likes and comments.
People are unbelievably sheepish.
Or we are in a simulation! Gosh Im having chills!
Maybe a big Ant and Dec fan growing up
@@linkash4167 perhaps
The last one is the most plausible.
I remember another lady being interviewed on This Morning about how she suddenly woke up with a Welsh accent.
Liam payne?
@@conorsmith8551😂
I can't help wondering if she spent a lot of time listening to geordies before this happened. Like Cheryl from that girl group, or perhaps a friend. Unless you're hearing an accent a lot, it seems unlikely you'd suddenly be able to accurately speak it. I'm also intrigued if she knows not just how to speak with the accent, but also knows all the local words that people from Newcastle use. Fascinating story.
Agreed, She said she'd visited "near newcastle" (so Tyne & Wear) as a child. How come? Maybe a relative up there or something. That's probably who she picked it up from, because accents are a learned behaviour and not in out DNA.
@@lukem118 In some more extreme examples, people have suddenly been able to speak a foreign language or play the piano.
Talk about acting..
There is an actual medical cause of these, often lesions in the vocal regions in the temporal lobe.
@@timwannell6477 ama wake up speaking in British accent tomorrow....
I’m diagnosed with chronic hemiplegic migraine disorder. When I was 19 I’ve had a greater Manchester accent all my life. Once I spoke Liverpudlian for 24 hours! I’m now 38 it never happened again but u go girl happy for you thanks for sharing x
Did it scare you?
Scouse would be the worst one to switch to 💀
Love the Scouse accent
It's quite incredible what the brain can do sometimes, she had only ever been to Newcastle once in her life, and then this happens! My dads mum was Irish and his sister's were Born in Ireland, my dad was born in the uk , people often ask me if im Irish 😂 i would love an Irish accent
We've all watched TV and heard the accent spoken. Listen to how she says the word Doctors and notice it changes slightly!
This young lady has had greatness bestowed upon her. She has been chosen.
I have have had migraines since I was a kid where my vision goes and I’m sick. It’s horrendous. Nothing more annoying when people think it’s just a headache.
Thanks for covering this, I also suffer from FND. It’s really debilitating. Great to raise awareness, thanks Verity x
I wonder if you’re actually gifted instead
did your accent change?
@@biegebythesea6775 no, but some days I can’t form words as normal and sound different
Love it! Black and white in thinking aka the magpies!! Definitely a real geordie!
😂😂
😂😂
I’m from Newcastle and I speak exactly like this
Excellent 😂
Lol I picked up on that too 😂
Apart from when she said “July” her accent is perfect Geordie! Can’t get my head around it.
So fake it's funny to see Demit taking this obvious attention seekers every word.
@@HOLLASOUNDSshut up definitely not fake or attention seeking
@@deanwatson1773 I think it is or She is Possessed by demons one of the two.
@@HOLLASOUNDS listen to the doctor, the professional, who knows it happens...
I suppose it's better than a Birmingham one!
Anything is better than brummmmmie
Wrong, Black Country accent is confused with Brummie. Thick people don't understand that. Besides Bristol is bar far the worst
@BatmanPants2 and her black country accent wasn't that strong
Sounds like she had a “walk in” soul upgrade 😍💫
I’m from the West Midlands I support Newcastle I wish I could wake up with a geordie accent, would be purely belter like
Howay
She is probably remembering the accent she spoke in her past life.
@johannaa2809 on another day I would say don’t talk daft, but I can’t think of why you would pick up such a strong accent 🤔
Some people have reported experiencing similar phenomena, awakening with proficiency in an entirely new language they've never spoken before or suddenly acquiring the skill to play an instrument they've never practiced @@anthonyg4671
100% it’s what I thought immediately…. Something is unresolved from that life and has carried over
It’s even crazier when they wake up speaking a different language
Glad you said this, I have always thought that this is the case, but no one has ever mentioned it until I read your comment. Past life slipping in.
I’ve worked in many call centres and quickly picked up on many accents, and recite it even now. But this girl speaks so fluently, I don’t believe this is put on. It’s amazing how diverse our brains are.
I love the geordie accent
As someone who gets migraines regularly and was just saying how I feel like a completely different person during an episode, this worries. I’m glad her change has been for the better and she enjoys it.
@Wonder888. Have you tried smelling mint? I had migraines for years and found out using mint essential oil eased them now I don't get the migraines.
No one just wakes up with a impeccable new accent.
This a spiritual phenomenon that science will never explain unless it admits that it’s capacity for knowing is barely scraping the surface.
In parts of the world, outside of the West, they all know what this is. And it isn’t alarming either.
So what is it?
@@RandomBloke007 I think the previous comment is referring to what is known as ‘A Walk In’. 😇
*sigh*
This is true Geordie, it is a very hard accent to copy and she is sounding realistic.
That's because Ant and Dec hacked into her brain lyk
I once went to a sundessential gig in Birmingham in 1999. I had way too many pills and came home with a Brummie accent. Lasted weeks.
Her new accent's lovely
I woke up from a nap with a geordie accent...but i am from Newcastle so i wasnt too concerned
What if she put on the midlands accent for the video and her actual accent is Geordie?
Very pretty and beautiful hair.
We hear about people coming out of coma’s with different accents and even knowing another language. I wonder if maybe she thought she was asleep but possibly slipped in and out of a coma ??
And Geordie is sexiest UK accent in my opinion too.
FND is really scary, my sister has it, she was paralised for 2 months once.
There was a guy once that had an accident in Motorbike speedway competition. When he came round, he spoke a completely different language! There is so much, we don’t understand about the mind!!
I'm from the midlands and think the Geordie accent is much cuter
She woke up with a better hairstyle too!
even feels more confident?!? spooky if you ask me, sounds like 'someone' 'replaced' her 😮
Her accent is lovely 🥰
This strange, fascinating phenomenon is a strong proof that we can physically change our accent at any age
a little bit of practice, and anybody can change their voice.
@@iwearLingerieAye it’s not hard. Some folk make a living that way
No it's just a attention seeking women pulling a fast one.
@@HOLLASOUNDS So the neurologist professor is getting tricked too?
not keen on the essex one then?
She’s definitely ‘black and white’ now! Bless her!
I was born in Birmingham and moved to Australia at 17. I didn’t realise it was Englands worst accent until l lived in Australia. Now after many years my accent is 50% Brum and 50% Oz which to me sounds even worse. However l wouldn’t wish to change it as it is who l am. Accents are so much more important than we think. As an example, if you met someone that spoke like the Queen, (don’t think of the Queen, just think of the accent) do you think you would have become good friends ? Love to hear your replies.
I woke up one morning found i could oprn my eyes stand up walk , and it was great 😂
That professor was so nice. Love how he kept involving her as well
Common with those who have had a head injury
This happens to people from Newcastle every day!
There are people waking up from comas with a different accent or speaking a different language. So this is actually not that surprising. I think our brain remembers more than we know, and when trauma like seizures or other head damage happens. This could be triggered
Her accent now sounds very nice actually
Too much Love Island 😂😂😂
I woke up with a French accent, my life changed and I love it. 😂😂😂
I was diagnosed with Hemiplegia last year, ive been having attacks since i was 13, im now 27 its been the worst thing in my life a few times it nearly killed me its happened twice over Christmas time in the last 8 years, December 24th i went completely blind in both eyes for around 8 hours and the hospital basically did nothing to help me at all, i woke up the next day at home, so id managed to get out of the hospital without being stopped and nobody calling to check on me, i am ashamed of the NHS because they do not care
im a geordie girl and its a hard accent to copy its so strange as long as shes happy x
I am from Australia but i have lived in England Since 2006 I’m 21 now
I’m currently living in Northeast England (Newcastle Specifically) since the age of 5 I had a Geordie Accent I don’t sound Australian at all because I hadn’t lived there long enough to pick up the accent
@@lucindawinehouse2002that’s completely normal though, especially as you were so young. Children pick up accents very easily
She fell asleep as a brummie and woke up speaking English 😂😂
Right loooool 😅
That would be my worst nightmare!
But I'm from Sunderland 😂
Jesus if I woke up speaking like a mackem I’d pull my voice box out
Lucky girl, you could be a Makem😂
🤣🤣🤣
@@Marc1979nufctoo most people not from the area mackem and geordie sound exactly the same
@@shanelee4764 😂😂 no they don’t they sound totally different. Unbelievable
Why eye man, She’s never been, but she’s seen every episode of Geordie Shore 72 times.
Waye-aye, lyke, wi arl this larkin' aroon, it meks ya wunner wharrits arl aboot!
@@gamingforever4372 I couldn’t of put it better meself like. Ant &Deck man, canny lads dooon tha tooon.
this is so fascinating
At the beginning when she is talking in her brummie accent Where she says 'if im using all of them' the way she says 'all of them' sounds more geordie than brummie
This girl is a born and bred geordie. Its not just the accent, but her mannerisms and confidence. Geordie girls are all full of confidence. He is a Geordie. She’ well fit too!
girls have confidence when men find them attractive, which is why i have no confidence. i think if men stopped tying our value to our looks, we'd all be confident.
How’way Pet! 🤣
Howay* 😂
@@Charlieb82I’m a legit Geordie too…….that’s bad 🤣
@@jamesb821 haha bet she wouldn't have misspelled it 🤣
How funny- I was intrigued so I had to click on this video. All I hope is that she is healthy !
A few months later and people still falling for this 😂
U a bozo
Nah she’s deffo fu*king with us 😅
"despite having never been to Newcastle" LOL as if you can catch it xD
Well it is possible to catch an accent. But I don’t think she was suggesting that, she was just highlighting the irony of it all considering she’s never been to Newcastle before.
A lot you could catch there!
Noone can take off a Geordie accent; this is absolutely spot on a Tyneside accent. Absolutely incredible.
She's a dimension jumper/drifter. This Geordie version got switched with the original version of her from here...... In a parallel universe, there's a Geordie girl who woke up suddenly speaking in a West Midlands accent"
Feel like it’s April 1st. She’s fitter with the Geordie accent 😉👌🏼
This is more common than is thought . 💯
I'm a Geordie born n bred her accent is spot on 100%
She looks Geordie as well. Proper mad.
Looks geordie cz the glam make up and well done hair 😂 not just geordies look glam ya know like 😂
Prop’a mad, like ….
There were kids here in Ghana 🇬🇭 west Africa who woke up with American accent. We never understood how ...moreover they had never been to America before
TV and mobile phones...
Can’t make my mind up about this Such a genuine accent! Really don’t know
This could be very subtle dissociative identity disorder (DID) maybe not though… but it’s amazing what the human brain can do 😳
With DID you lose time, you also have it from a young age due to traumatic events the brain finds a new way to deal with or protect themselves. FMD is very interesting, but very different.
i woke up one morning and my eyes opened😂 i also found that my legs moved 😂
Haahahaha ! Love this
@@rachelking9654 hehehe
It’s definitely boarding on a Mackem accent though isn’t it? 😂
Sounds more south Durham
Definitely not, sounds more north Durham where I'm from.
My condolences, that you are on GM Britain!
she isn't
Its giving similar plots to where two people switch souls so one person is in another persons body, hence different personality, accent, etc.
not a bad thing to wake up to 😂
Was geordie shore on the tv when she fell asleep?
I'm a Geordie. This is amazing!
Bless her x
I love how a medical professional is validating but all the know it all’s in the comments. 😂 You just know her name will be Geordie Verity 😂
Love the geordie accent
From a west Midlands to a geordi is a gift
What a delightful young lady
She should be on Vera. Miles better Geordie accent than most of the so-called actors on there.
Lol my mum's favourite programme. Brenda Blethyn does a good job I think.
Including Vera !
I believe a spirit took over her body. She looks different too. Notice how she said she doesn't resemble her old self?
Stop😂 I’m related to her, she’s referring to her major shift in life such as suffering from multiple seizures a day and not knowing where it’s come from.
@@TH3CAPN Well yes the science will never admit spiritually.
@@Dianna-vv6lc nor vice versa evidently
She sounds very nice. I'm American. I like how clearly she speaks. I can understand her. But wouldn't it be awful if a Geordie-speaker were to take a nap and wake up sounding Cockney? Lol.
I’ve lived with a geordie in geordieland 20 years and can’t do the accent I still sound West Midlands
