Hollyoaks alum Ricky Whittle stopped by This Morning today (February 27) to talk about the new season of American Gods, though left viewers somewhat confused.
The English actor originally rose to fame on the Channel 4 soap in the UK, and has since cracked Hollywood in the Starz Neil Gaiman adaptation.
However, those tuning in were left scratching their heads as he spoke about the second season, some noting how his accent had seemingly changed.
"Woah! @MrRickyWhittle accent has certainly changed since Hollyoaks! How is it nearly 10 years already??" one viewer wrote.
"Ricky Whittle's accent, what is it?" another added, while a third wrote: "What the chuff has happened to Ricky Whittle's accent? He sounds Welsh with something stuck in his throat."

Before that, Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby struggled to start the interview after Ricky got the giggles about the preceding segment, which included a strange-looking caricature of the presenters.
Holly and Phil themselves were in stitches too, as Phil joked that they looked like Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn. It was clearly infectious.
