Maya Jama's Scottish accent attempt criticised during Jonathan Ross Show appearance

Maya Jama attempted a Scottish accent on The Jonathan Ross Show tonight and some weren't impressed, including the show's host.

The Love Island presenter joined One Direction star Niall Horan on the infamous sofa alongside Bake Off's Prue Leith and during the chat, Maya attempted various different accents and soon she tried her hand at speaking the Scottish tongue.

She turned to Niall Horan and attempted an impressive Irish accent, before adding: "I can do Scott-ash!'

Jonathan Ross laughed: "Scott-ash?

She then said, in the same accent: "Are ye crazy? An Angus burger! Are ye crazy?"

And the host, clearly not impressed by her attempt, replied: "You talk like that and Lewis Capaldi is going to phone me and bollock me!"

The audience erupted into laughter, but some fans weren't best pleased with her attempt, with one writing on Twitter: "‘Scottash’ Someone needs to tell Maya Jama that it’s ‘ScottISH’. and we don’t tend to shout about Angus burgers. #JonathanRoss."

While one said Maya made them laugh, commenting: " @MayaJama absolutely brilliant laugh on #Jonathanross nice to see someone being themselves."

While one added: "I want to be friends with @MayaJama she’s great #TheJRShow."

Chat then turned to Lewis Capaldi who is best mates with Niall, with the pair even filming a BBC docuseries together travelling around Niall's Irish hometown.

The pair then spoke about Niall's new album and Jonathan asked him who he runs his stuff by before releasing it and the Irish singer said his mate Lewis and also Ed Sheeran.

He said: "Lewis or Ed Sheeran if he's about or whatever... because they are so used to releasing stuff all the time."

Jonathan replied: "I imagine Lewis Capaldi is pretty straight forward?"

Niall laughed, then replied in Lewis's Scottish accent: "'Yeah man I've got a f***ing sneaky feeling about this one!'"

Jonathan then asked about the pair, who were meant to tour together before the pandemic and Niall replied: "I'm glad we never, I would have needed a new liver!"

Maya chimed in: "I partied with Lewis before and I feel like he's on my level of going for it!"

Niall laughed: "Yeah, he's a different league!"

"We've written a couple of things together, but there's obviously a reason that they've never seen the light of day!"

Talking about their Irish show together, the host asked if he was going to do the same around Lewis's hometown.

Niall said: "That would be good - go up to Bathgate! That could be our next trip!"
