•The Traitors: Is a Welsh accent really more trustworthy?
82% Informative
Contestant from London puts on false Welsh accent to gain trust in The Traitors.
Charlotte , 33 , has lived in London her whole life but has decided to pretend she is from Abergavenny , Monmouthshire .
Dr Mercedes Durham led research into the likeability of the Welsh accent.
People associate the accent with being friendly - but not necessarily clever - says Dr Durham .
Participants heard either a standard southern English accent or a "lesser trusted" Liverpudlian accent.
If a person who spoke in a "trusted" accent went on to behave fairly, then this first impression of trustworthiness increased.
Yet if they went to behave unfairly, they were seen as less trustworthy than those who had a lesser trusted accent and behaviour.
