I was not sure it was a sexy accent until he confirmed it. But it is recognition for us all.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It is a bit specific coming from someone who is not from Hull.

I feel he has just seen on line people make fun of it and is joining in the joke, but I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;My voice never works on my phone. So they still need to fix that. I need to put on a posh accent to make it work.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It is nice to know he knows Hull exists.

I lived with a mate who had a very thick Hull accent so I soon picked it up and never got rid of it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Now, I have a five year old and she has a right dirty Hull accent.

Esne Stagg, 31, said: &#8216;A lot of people do not think anything to do with Hull is sexy let alone the way we speak. But I like the accent so I agree with him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It was a very strange thing to say though. But whether he was joking or not the recognition we are getting is wonderful.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Charlotte Wardle, 23, added: &#8216;Personally, I don&#8217;t think it is sexy.

I don&#8217;t know where he gets sexy from.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Leonie Fawms, 21, said: &#8216;I think it is bland. It depends on what part of Hull your are from. I am from Orchard Park (a large local council estate) and I sound chavvy. My boyfriend talks a lot nicer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I am typical Hull &#8211; I miss out my &#8216;h&#8217;s.
