Not sure if you're being mis-ch-vus, or should I say miss-chev-us by posting this,
But I will rebut your assertion.
There's more than one way of pronouncing it. I've heard it pronounced both ways. Who's to say which is the right way? Certainly the way tiff said it is phonetically correct.

The Cambridge dictionary doesn't dictate how Americans speak there was an authentication around 1776.

That's nothing, Marcus Bentley says 'ahviction' instead of eviction, Darren says 'fink' instead of think, and Scotty says 'loosh' instead of lush..
Erm, she is from another country, of course some pronounciation will be different! We have many regional dialects that lead to varying pronounciation withink the UK never mind abroad.

That's got nothing to with her pronunciation of that word, as its pronounced with a few different emphasis in this country.
