That chat he just had with Hughie. you can tell that it's his dentures that make him sound funny when he talks.

He's a scouser. They all talk like that.

Exactly, it's just how people from Liverpool speak.

He just sounds like a standard Scouser to me.

Alex is the first HM in years I have genuine trouble understanding - for me, Jackson sounds like a posh lad compared to that mumbling galore. Weird thing is I usually have no trouble understanding scousers.

he's talking

He doesn't have dentures he talks through his teeth without moving his lips "Gottle a Geer"

Fek me if they are dentures, he must have left the dentists with someone else's.

In past BBs, they used to put up sub-titles for some HMs with strong British local accents, why not him?

He says so little we might as well be aware of the few pearls of wisdom he is trying to share.

So far I have not been able to decipher anything he has said.

Mind you, I reckon I have not missed much.

because he doesn't say anything worth putting the subtitles on for

I don't think it is the Scouse accent - I like the accent and never had a problem understanding it before.

I think the op might have something - he does sound like a man who's unfamiliar with his teeth. I'm sure they'll bed in some day.

Crying with laughter here!

I'm with Helen90. I've given up trying to figure out what he's saying and come on here to find out from someone else. I was putting it down to age. Even with the kids, if I'm not looking at them while they're speaking, I'm in trouble. It's hereditary.

I can understand every little bit, of what little he has said so far. But then again, he speaks my lingo. 😜😜

Might be new veneers that's making his speech a little hard to understand for some?😁😁

Fixodent.

Has Alex actually said something? He's like Jayne in that he's never seen or heard yet apparently they're both housemates?

I have no problem understanding scoucers so it is not that. It is the fact the he mumbles and there is no spacing between words its like

It isn't the Scouse accent.....he just bloody mumbles!

same here Jenna! He sounds more Birkenhead than Liverpool though I will keep an eye out when he is evicted! I dont think he is boring - just normal!

I went to school in Liverpool (a good one.) We had an elocution teacher.

I think she would want to punch his face.

Yeah docuchick, I was thinking the same its not as heavy as "True Scouse" sounds more "Woolyback" 😂😂

I'm a Scouser.....I can't understand him either. But, come to think of it, I can't understand Rylan .

I should be able to make him out because my husband and I realised recently that in the 16 years we've been together I've rarely made out a full sentence that he's said. I'm a skilled interpreter of people who do not enunciate.

I'm a culchie, he's a townie and he talks so damn fast. None of my family can make him out and when he speaks they immediately turn to me as his interpreter.

But - and I hadn't actually realised this - turns out i'm only picking out, on average, three words in a sentence and pretty much guessing what he's saying. But it works.

It's testament to how well I know him that I've always just 'got' what he was saying but when we're talking about something so abstract I couldn't possibly fill in the blanks I'm stumped.

I do scold him but he's completely incapable of enunciation. "Ack, dunmatter, dunmatter."

I can't understand a word he says. That was fine until he started talking Tell him to stop and I'll be fine again

ETA: It's not just the accent though - he also mumbles and doesn't enunciate clearly.

I love his teeth. I have seriously teeth envy, they must have cost him a fortune.
