Mamma Mia!!


Scottish woman wakes up with Italian accent

Momma Mia! A woman in Glasgow says she woke up woke up with an Italian accent after suffering a stroke.

Debbie McCann couldn't speak straight away after the stroke and when her voice came back people said it sounded Chinese.
But after a while it became more Italian-sounding -- and 48-year-old Debbie says people are now constantly asking her where she's from.
It's thought she could be suffering from Foreign Accent Syndrome, a rare condition thought to affect just 60 people around the world.
Debbie says the condition is so bad she's embarrassed to speak to people… it must have been a while since she called for a takeaway pizza.
