Gavin & Stacey fans shocked at Pam actor Alison Steadman’s real voice
One of its stars, Alison Steadman, plays Essex-born Pam Shipman on the programme. The character is known for her distinctive accent, so viewers were left disoriented after Steadman spoke in her natural voice. Born in Liverpool, the star has barely any traces left of her hometown’s accent, instead speaking in an RP (received pronunciation) accent.
