This is the moment a young man from Birmingham acquired a new West Midlands accent.

Jack Reeve, 22, who has cerebral palsy, had been using a communication device with a robotic voice.

But ahead of his wedding to fiancee Bethan in 2026, and with the help of special technology, he was given a Dudley accent from an anonymous donor.

He was overcome with emotion when he heard what it sounded like.

“I chose a voice with a Dudley accent because that’s where my fiancée is from,” he said.

“I wanted to make the right choice – that will be my voice for the rest of my life.”
