      The best answer that anyone’s ever given me to that was ‘London, cleaned up’. What they meant was that I didn’t sound like I was on EastEnders, but you could still tell I was from London. I think that’s pretty accurate!

      It’s interesting how you could tell that I would probably have an accent like that, before you even heard me speak – I’m from London, so that would give me a basic London accent, but I went to quite a good comprehensive school in a nice part of town, and I have spent a lot of my life outside London, in places where I had to speak in a way that other people thought was nice – so that’s why I would have a ‘London, cleaned up’ accent.

      Hope that’s interesting!
