I\u2019m A Celebrity<\/a>\u2026 Get Me Out of Here fans still can\u2019t quite believe Tom Read Wilson<\/a>\u2019s unique accent.<\/p>\n

The E4 Celebs Go Dating<\/a> star has been introduced to a whole new audience on the ITV<\/a> reality series, who are just discovering his quintessential RP accent and far-reaching vocabulary.<\/p>\n

Speaking as though he belongs more in Buckingham Palace<\/a> than in the jungle, the reality star, 39, has garnered plenty of attention for his posh accent, not least last night when he put on a fake deep voice as he joked about being straight.<\/p>\n

Maintaining the new voice, which no doubt was also poking fun at fans who don\u2019t believe him, he said during a Bush Telegraph: \u2018Do you know what? That Tom character with all the fancy language, it is so exhausting. <\/p>\n

\u2018Much nicer to hang in here,\u2019 before breaking character as he laughed at his own antics.<\/p>\n

Still, his deeper register left fans impressed and confused in equal measure. <\/p>\n

Writing on instagram, voiceoveremmy said: \u2018It\u2019s not just his accent changing but his lower vocal range too that makes him sound so authentically different from his normal Received Pronunciation,.\u2019<\/p>\n

When asked whether his regular accent on screen was real, friend and dating coach Anna Williamson<\/a> told Lorraine: \u2018It\u2019s probably the most common question everybody says, does he really talk like that?\u2019 <\/p>\n

\u2018I can now clarify, absolutely, Tom Read Wilson speaks like that,\u2019 she said, citing his musical theatre background as the reason it developed.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s right, despite the scepticism from fans, it appears his actual accent is the one with note-perfect elocution.<\/p>\n

The campmates are just as fascinated by his accent as viewers, with Aitch<\/a> and the rest putting it to the test by comparing it to the rapper\u2019s northern accent recently.<\/p>\n

During their conversation, Tom once more showed his code-switching skills by effortlessly mimicking Aitch\u2019s voice, impressing everyone there.<\/p>\n

In fact, fans from Celebs Go Dating will be all too familiar with how good Tom is at doing various types of accents from Essex<\/a> to Irish and beyond.<\/p>\n

Given Tom\u2019s top-notch skill to slide into different voices, fans are constantly left befuddled over what his true accent is.<\/p>\n

Li Hambridge said on Facebook: \u2018I swear people haven\u2019t watched Celebs Go Dating and are only just discovering the delightful dialogue and eloquent expression\u00a0that Tom bestows.\u2019<\/p>\n

Discussing his motivation to join the show, the TV star said: \u2018My first thought when they approached me about taking part was abject terror. But I have got a very strict rule in life.<\/p>\n

\u2018If the only reason that you don\u2019t want to do it is fear, you must do it, whatever it is.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m fearful as a porcupine and I am very nervous that my grey cells won\u2019t dance properly in camp, too.<\/p>\n

\u2018At home, I do a cryptic crossword every day, I always have a book on the go and I am a bit worried that my frontal lobes will drop off if I don\u2019t have a lubricant for it. I can be vague at times and I don\u2019t want to scatter brain cells over the camp!\u2019<\/p>\n
