Coronation Street star Jamie Kenna was floored fans with his real accent.
The actor has played Phill Whittaker in the long-running ITV soap for just over a year.
He’s currently at the centre of a major storyline involving fan favourites Fiz Stape (Jennie McApline) and Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall).

Phill and Fiz got married a few weeks but the blushing bride quickly had second thoughts and has since returned into the arms of her ex Tyrone.
Jamie logged into his official Instagram page on Wednesday (July 13) to post a video thanking fans for their support so far.
“Good morning everyone. I hope you’re all well,” he began.
“I’m just sitting in the garden having a cup of coffee after my gym session, or am i just dressed in my gym kit having a cup of coffee and i’m not going to bother going to the gym, I guess you’ll never know, anyway I just want to jump on here because I’ve finally had the chance to catch up on all the wedding stuff because I was away so I binge-watched it last night and I just wanted to say a massive, massive thank you to everyone.”
Jamie continued: “I’ve had so many message and so many people have been supportive, so many people feeling sorry for Phill and saying he’s a bit hard done by and I genuinely feel moved and touched by that.

“I thought everyone would be like ‘thank goodness for that, Tyrone and Fiz are back together’ so I was really moved and touched by all your comments and don’t think that us as the actors don’t get effected by that.
“We love feedback so just wanted to thank you all and say to keep watching because it gets very interesting.”

While a majority of fans left a message in the comment section congratulating him on his latest work, others were left gobsmacked by his real accent.
One of Jamie’s follower penned: “It’s been amazing. Surprised at your accent! Well done on such a good storyline x”
Another baffled social media user added: “Awww you are so lovely, didn’t expect the accent.”
A third person posted: “Love watching you on Corrie (still really impressed by your northern accent).”
While a fourth said: “OMG you’re a southerner! Great accent.”
Corrie spoilers have revealed that Phill dashes Fix’s annulment hopes next week as he rumbles her reunion with Tyrone.
Fiz is desperate to keep their reunion a secret from Phill so that he will allow an annulment without kicking up a fuss.
She’s even asked Tyrone (Alan Halsall) to abuse Phill’s trust and try and persuade him that the marriage is already over.
However, Fiz’s plan will come crashing down next week when Phill walks in on her having a therapy session with Tyrone.
Fans will have to wait and see to how Phill reacts to the news.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV at 8pm
