Britain's Got Talent winner Lee Ridley, who has cerebral palsy, is buzzing after finally getting a Geordie accent.
The 41-year-old, who uses the name Lost Voice Guy as a stage name, hand-picked a voice-over artist from Newcastle upon Tyne to be his voice donor for his communications device, which he used to deliver his winning stand up on the ITV show.
In April last year, he chose Dan Pye, who grew up in Whickham and currently lives in Hunwick, Co Durham after he received more than 500 offers.
