Ashley Jensen Wants Her Son To Have A Scottish Accent

Scottish actress Ashley Jensen worries about her son developing an American accent – a fear she’s combating with a CD of traditional lullabies sung in a thick Scottish accent!

The Ugly Betty star – mom to 10-month-old Francis Jonathan with British hubby Terence Beesley – admits that she plays the CD on a regular basis with hopes that it will influence her son’s speech.

“It’s called ‘Bairn’s Kiss’ – my husband used to look at me weird when I was playing it, but now he ends up singing it in a Scottish accent,” says 40-year-old star. “My family back home are very pleased about that.”

Speaking of “back home”, Ashley says that when she and her husband – who have homes in Los Angeles, London and Italy – are feeling homesick, they hop online to take a virtual tour of London:

When we get homesick we go on Google Earth and have a wee walk around the streets and talk about when we go back to London, where we are going to live. We'll go for a ‘walk’ on Hampstead Heath or a look around Richmond.

The couple, who met in 1999, have been married 3 ½ years.
