This is the moment a young man from Birmingham was gifted 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 received a Dudley accent from an anonymous donor.

He was overcome with emotion when he heard how it sounded.

"I chose a voice with a Dudley accent as that is where my fiancee is from," he said.

"I wanted to make the right choice - it is going to be my voice for the rest of my life."
