This Morning fans baffled as Geri Horner shows off THREE different accents in ‘cringe’ interview
THIS Morning fans were left shocked today as Geri Horner showed off her accent skills.
The singer, 52, appeared on the show to discuss her latest book Rosie Frost: Ice On Fire and revealed that she had voiced the audio book herself.
Geri then proceeded to boast about her different dialects – leaving Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary surprised.
Those watching at home were left squirming in their sofas, branding the whole interview ‘cringe’ and ‘bizarre’.
Geri revealed: “I do the accents for the audio book. You haven’t got a Brummy in there, but I do some accents.”
The Spice Girl continued: “I had an acting accent coach there.”
She then suddenly put on a Southern American accent, drawling: “She’s like ‘oh my God Alison, you got to be out of your mind’.”
Next she became Irish, saying: “Then we got a Dermot, he’s kind of just Dermot, ‘what are you talking about?’”
She then switched to a French accent: “Then we have Madame Lure, ‘you’re just so elegant. I’m so proud of you’.”
Alison was very impressed, telling her: “You’re so good. I want to listen to the audio now. I’m not going to read the book.”
The whole interview had fans scratching their heads, with one person remarking: Geri Halliwell on #ThisMorning is behaving bizarrely. It’s like she’s shouting (hurts your ears)& emphasising every word & just over intense & try hard. If she says if you can see it,” be it one more time… V odd how over the top it is, talking abt her book like it’s Shakespeare.”
“Geri… just stop, this is an absolute cringe,” wrote a second.
While a third added: “The accents? Is she drunk or is this a fever dream.”
Geri has won acclaim in both the UK and the US courtesy of her Rosie Frost young adult novels.
The Sun told last week that they’ve been such a hit, she’s secretly met with Hollywood execs to discuss turning her book trilogy into a movie.
An insider told us: “Geri has had meetings with film bosses over the past month and there have been serious discussions about bringing her book trilogy to the big screen.
“They see real promise in the stories and believe a movie adaptation is a real possibility.
“If a deal is struck, Geri would act as a consultant, she won’t be involved in the actual making of the movies as she’s happy to leave that to the experts. But it’s certainly an exciting time for her.”
