Haley made the bizarre admission during the first episode of the season. 

‘I like the international vibe. Harry’s from Australia and I literally have no idea where that is!’ she said, referring to her co-star Harry Jowsey, who was born in Queensland.

‘Kelz [Dyke, from London] has a beautiful accent, but I can’t really understand him. Honestly, everyone’s accent that isn’t American sounds the same. It’s all blending together for me.’
