The former singer was diagnosed with Foreign Accent Syndrome, a condition that affects around 100 people worldwide

has revealed the terrifying ordeal she’s suffered after suddenly being unable to speak in her native drawl.

More recently, her accent has switched to Ukrainian and Australian, and Abby says she often has to lie about where she's from to avoid any further questions.She said: “I don’t want to lie about where I’m from, yet sometimes, I do because it’s easier. “Now, this isn’t so simple, so I try to avoid saying where I’m from and instead, tell them what type of accent they’re hearing.

She said: “It’s been incredibly difficult to be given any diagnosis, but many medical professionals don’t believe Foreign Accent Syndrome is real. “It’s so bizarre and scary not knowing what is causing this to happen, but after finding help in January 2021, I was thrilled.”Now, she claims her “excellent” singing pitch is back, which she believes is due to muscle memory and the help of therapy.
