DJ and presenter Katie Owen has posted on social media after she overheard her Valleys accent being mocked during a glitzy awards ceremony in London. The 25-year-old from Merthyr Tydfil said she was at "some business awards" when she says she stumbled across two women in the toilets "slagging her off" and saying her "jarring" accent was putting people off being interviewed by her.
"On a job tonight, doing interviews on the red carpet at an event," she tweeted yesterday evening. "Just walked into the toilets and heard two women slagging me off, saying my accent was jarring and they can’t do an interview with me because they hate Welsh people and don't want to hear my accent."
She added: "I don't know what business they were with or who they were because they refused to do an interview and speak to me.
