Michaela Armer from Poulton-Le-Fylde lost her consistent Lancashire accent overnight in 2015, something she believes was triggered by an MRI scan which 'aggravated' her chronic complex migraines. Since the scan, the 47-year-old mom doesn't know before opening her mouth whether she'll speak in a Chinese, Filipino, South African, Italian, Polish or French accent.
Michaela is one of just a handful of people worldwide who has Foreign Accent Syndrome – a condition which makes it sound as if the person is speaking with a foreign accent.
