Scottish woman wakes up with an Italian accent...

A Glaswegian grandmother has started speaking with an Italian accent after suffering a stroke, despite never having visited the country.

When Debbie McCann, 48, had a minor stroke in November last year, she was left with a voice she didn't recognise.

She has since been diagnosed with Foreign Accent Syndrome, an extremely rare medical condition where a person starts speaking in a different accent due to a brain injury, stroke or migraine.

 Just 60 people on the planet are affected by the condition when has left Debbie sounding more Botticelli than Braveheart. Full story...

Don't miss:
