This Morning viewers BLAST Hollyoaks actor’s accent

Has he forgotten where he came from?

Former Hollyoaks actor Ricky Whittle seemed to really annoy a lot of people on This Morning.

The hunk appeared on the chat show with fellow British actor Ian McShane to talk about their new TV series, American Gods, but something was off.

Ricky has gone REALLY ‘LA’ after moving there.

Viewers were shocked at the change in him.

We’re surprised Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby didn’t say anything!

One said: “Wasn’t @MrRickyWhittle English last time he was on TV???…”

Another viewer compared his haircut to Mr T!

But it looks like he’s as popular as ever and there were plenty of people that just couldn’t contain themselves after seeing him on their screens.

“Stop everything!! @MrRickyWhittle is on my TV…”

There were A LOT of love heart emojis.

One said: “RICKY WHITTLE… Aaaaw if there’s a better looking man…..”

The hottie shot to fame when he played Calvin Valentine in the Chester based soap, went on to be the runner-up in the 2009 series of Strictly Come Dancing, and now he’s in Hollywood!

And sad news for his legion of UK-based fans – it doesn’t look like he’ll ever be moving back to Manchester.

Chatting to Phil and Holly, he said: “I’d do whatever it takes to stay in California, maybe not LA because it’s so crazy.

“I’ve moved down to the water.”

We doubt Brit’s would welcome him over here again with that accent!
