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...
