YES, i noticed it tonight, after the sacking, they went back to their "quarters" and she was talking normally for a minute, saying how surprised she was etc etc, so it is just a fake accent! i think they call it "Jafaican"
Or Jafakin'

I just recently realised how nice received pronunciation sounds, so I have been making an effort! Not to say all accents are bad- but the ones from my town are!

You won't in a minute when this grog kicks in. You just had to remind me about wine and now I'm necking a bottle too.

I think it's a pity we can't all write the same way we speak. I mean, I would normally say; me an' m' mate wuz watchin' Hell's Kitchen th'night and roared our heads aff at them two blondes getting blanked by Marco thingy an' all like.

Of course I know the proper way is; My friend and I were watching Hell's Kitchen tonight and were quite tickled when Marco the chef ignored the two blonde ladies.

But where I come from you'd get your head kicked in if you tried to talk dead proper like.

Think I might copy Naomi and speak like her now though.

No, that is the ŽLondonŽaccent that so many younger generation people speak and it gets on my BLOODY NERVES!!

I dont know where it came from tbh...young Londoners and counties people on the whole seem to talk with that silly accent....remember Aisleyne from bb, sounds just like her.
My guess is that it is a London accent mixed up with Asian/West Indian with perhaps a bit of African thrown in for good measure. I prefer the "standard" cockney accent myself - this one has overtones of "Am Eye Bovvered Eh?" about it.
I noticed some years ago that even white working class kids also spoke with this strange sing-song effect and not with the sharper, original London or cockney accent.

Its not just working classes..i used to own a pub in a very well off area in essex and all the kids there spoke like it too
I live up north now....not risking my babes speaking like that...id end up stringing them up

If it was a genuine accent then no problem, but it is so contrived. When ya kids yoose it they talk so slowly, and you can see them trying to work out in their heads how to say the next word. I am actually watching HK live tonight , I have recently watched on ITV net, and fast forwarded Niomi cos her accent annoys me innit.

She does that thing where everything she says sounds like a question. I think Stephen Fry mentioned that a few years ago on Room 101 as something he would put in there. I hate it.

My niece and nephew who live in a fairly middle-class part of London both sound like Niomi and a friend who lives in London told me he was on the tube and thought there was a bunch of Afro-Carribean kids sitting behind him chattin and when he turned around, there was a bunch of kids, but there were all white.

Yeah, the whole Ali G. thing is irritating in the extreme.

There's hardly a genuine Cockney accent left in people under 40. Sad really ... innit.

Well all things change, the cockney accent as we know it. is a product of early Polish immigrants in the East End, accents mutate.

i was glad to see the back of her last night.

i couldn't bear to hear her whiney protraction of every other word she used.

aussies speak like this as well. they tend to end sentences on a high pitch that makes them always sound like they're asking a question.

just makes me feel i'm being spoken to like an idiot.

If you end every sentence as if it was a question you actually sound as if you expect the person you are talking to, to say "yes". It's a hook. So is extending words beyond their natural life expectancy. It keeps people waiting for the next syllable.

Annoying.

I agree. I am with Stephen Fry (and Mary) send this ridiculous faux accent to room 101.

A natural Jamaican lilt (that seems to be what some are trying to copy) is pleasing to hear, it is slow delivery of words, but effortlessly smooth. There are no ridiculous end inflections put in as a question mark.
