He's not being himself at all in there is he ? ... a constant 'act'

Ricky gone full-on American accent now on live-feed
He's one of those people that mimics accents without realising I think. Apparently I do it, especially on the telephone.

I know somebody who bought a house in Spain and every time spoke to the Spanish estate agent on the phone he put on a Mexican accent like you hear in the movies. His wife used to try a stop him but he couldn't help himself.
Ricky is getting right up my beak. He's trying to be what he clearly isn't and every other word is f.ck. I preferred him when he was quiet and in the background.

It's debatable

I'm sorry but
I once flew from Newcastle to Malaga on a plane full of Geordies, and within twenty minutes was saying things like 'aha', 'eeee' and 'nah', it's very catching.
More power to him British accents are horrible except for the Welsh one ( that one is super cute). Embrace the superior accent , Ricky ✌🏼😎

Isn't that what BB is about. What is your real issue. When he starts acting like Bear and his ilk that is when you complain.

That's me. Ricky seems to be a natural mimic, which for an actor must be useful. His American accent differs defending on whether he is talking to Momma or Frankie. His London 'bruv' accent is also different when he talks to Heavy or Sam. He's more refined when talking to Saira or James. I don't think it is contrived. My daughter says going to our local Indian restaurant with me is a total embarrassment.
Must admit I was prone to doing this when I went to university and mixed with peeps all over the globe

To an extent it can be quite helpful. By falling in with the register of the person you are speaking with, it can show unity and liking and helps build rapport. Until of course you over egg it and go for a full comedy cod accent.

Yes, I have known a few people in real life who do that, and I think it's very common in actors, for obvious reasons.

bitches.sulks.smokes a ciggy.bitches.sulks.smokes a ciggy.why is he even favourite to win? brings virtually nothing to the table.
I think that he could have breezed this but now he seems to think that the general public want excessive swearing.
In a conversation with Frankie I heard him say that the other night he slept like a muther ******.
What the hell is that supposed to mean? Is that having a peaceful nights sleep or a restless night?
The swearing seems so forced as if he is working to a rule of 20 Fs per hour.

I think that Ricky speaks in a generic 'cool and down with the kids' accent that their young presenters adopt on the BBC. You used to hear plenty of young presenters on BBC3 speak like that.
