The Pussycat Dolls are back with a new single, a new tour, and apparently a new accent.
The group, who recently reunited as a trio, have been promoting their comeback with a series of media interviews, and American fans couldn't help but notice that Missouri-born member Kimberly Wyatt has picked up a bizarre British twang since they last saw her.
Wyatt, along with bandmate Ashley Roberts, have spent more than a decade living and working in the UK since the Pussycat Dolls first split up in the late 2000s.
'What’s going on with her speaking voice?' asked one puzzled fan, while another commented, 'A menagerie of accents!'
A third wrote, 'It's so cute hearing Ashley and Kimberly's accents from all the time they've spent in the UK.'
Another fan compared Wyatt to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley, whose unique accent became a talking point when she first joined the Bravo show.

Wyatt addressed the speculation around her speaking voice during an interview on Elvis Duran's Morning Show earlier this week.
'Well I've been living there for over, gosh, close to fifteen years, and my kids are already fixing my accent, so nobody knows where I'm from,' she explained.
'It's an amalgamation of lots of different places!'
She also confirmed that her three children, who she shares with her British model husband Max Rogers, all have English accents now.
Wyatt has been in the UK since 2009, when she landed a gig as a judge on the British dance competition series, Got to Dance, just months after the Pussycat Dolls first split.
From there, she went on to star in a string of UK reality shows, including The Jump, Celebrity MasterChef, Celebrity Storage Hunters, and Dancing on Ice.
She even launched an acting career, starring in the scripted musical drama Almost Never.
Roberts headed to the UK shortly after Wyatt, appearing on season 12 of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2012.

She then divided her time between the US and the UK, hosting television shows in both countries.
Earlier this month, it was announced that Scherzinger, Wyatt, and Roberts were reuniting as a trio for a huge global tour.
On last Friday's episode of the Today show, co-host Craig Melvin left Scherzinger at a loss for words when he probed her over the line-up drama.
The presenter asked, 'Some former members of the Pussycat Dolls made headlines recently after they found out you were coming back as a trio, not as the original group. How did you arrive at that decision?'
Visibly taken aback by the question, Scherzinger froze as she struggled to come up with a cohesive response.
'Well, I mean, listen, we are just... we are like... we are so... as women today, I mean,' she stammered.

Wyatt then swooped in to save the day, explaining that the group's line-up has been 'ever-changing.'
'This is what it looks like in 2026,' Wyatt said confidently.
'You never know what comes next. We've got to protect our peace,' she continued.
'When something like the Pussycat Dolls has so much history, we have ruptured in the past and right now, we are repairing and sort of on the same page with that.'
By the time Wyatt, 44, had given her answer, Scherzinger had formulated what she wanted to say.
'We have so much love and respect for all of the women that have been part of the legacy,' she said. 'And once a doll, always a doll.'
