Default What accents do Nikki and Grace have?
Been watching clips from this season and especially adored the love/hate relationship between Nikki and Richard. It was funny when Nikki "imitates" Richard's accent because obviously she thinks he's American but to my North American ears he sounds very English. So I was wondering what type of accent Nikki and Grace (my two favorite HMs) have?

If someone has the time and energy, I wouldn't mind knowing what accents all the housemates had this season.

Nikki Grahame is from Watford, Hertfordshire. I think Grace is from London (not sure what part though).

Grace opened her own performing arts school in Plymouth called "The Grace Academy of Performing Arts". This involves her teaching young children dancing, drama, singing and extra classes of musical theatre. She subsequently opened a second branch in Liverpool.

On October 17, 2009, Grace married fiancee Mikey Dalton in Plymouth.
Mikey Dalton (formerly Sahin Michael Hamadani) is, of course, an incomprehensible Scouser .....

Maybe she didn't live down here long enough? I was only here in Exeter for uni so I still have my London accent.

LOL, it kind of sounds like that, but that is more Cornish than Devonshire.

Not really :

Quote:
The London accent long ago acquired the Cockney label, and was similar to many accents of the South East of England, of which Cockney rhyming slang is a part. The accent of a 21st century 'Londoner' varies widely; what is becoming more and more common amongst the under 30s however is some fusion of Cockney, Received Pronunciation, and a whole array of 'ethnic' accents, in particular Caribbean, which form an accent labelled Multicultural London English (MLE).
Which sounds more like Aisleyne, who was, in fact, brought up in North London .....
