Abigail ClancyAbigail ClancyIf you thought being a beauty was just about looking good, think again.

Just ask Abigail Clancy, it seems these days you have to sound the part, too.

The leggy Liverpudlian has had to say goodbye to her Scouse accent in a bid to crack the modelling world in the US of A.

Apparently, the folks there were having a hard time understanding her.

"An elocution teacher taught me how to pronounce words correctly and stuff," she told The Sun.

It's all part and parcel of her latest venture, LivingTV's Beauty And The Best.

The programme shows the self-proclaimed, first supermodel, Janice Dickinson, helping Abigail crack the US modelling industry.

Well Abigail, here on home turf, we still love ya. No matter what you sound like.
