I just saw on Jackie Jandrell's lgpedia page that she is from South Africa, but she moved and lived in England for many years. Wow... and I thought she was just an American girl doing a very shoddy accent.

Apparently a lot of other people thought so too. How was this confirmed, and what are your thoughts on that?

She could have lived in England for years and still have a bad accent.

I thought her accent was more forced than anything.

yea Jackie could have had the accent originally but just tried to emphasize it for the sake of the show. it would make sense that gemma would have decided to emphasize her accent in her vids so that she would seem more "authentically london" so as not to cause suspicion. maybe we were supposed to find her accent fake in the first place, as a clue that she wasn't telling the truth to Bree.

I'd be interested to see if Gemma is in another vid and, if so, if she has a less britishy accent in it... (that would resolve whether it was gemma or jackie who was faking...)

South African british accents are not as soft as those from England

it makes sense why her accent sounds more south african to me than british.
