The hilarious moment a US TV show failed to understand Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker's Yorkshire accent

The Huddersfield actress was appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday evening in the USA when the side-splitting subtitle gaff happened.

A still from the show was shared on social media network Twitter by user @dotski_w, showing the word Huddersfield had been spelt 'Hoodezfield'' on the show.

The full line read: "I'm from Hoodezfield, in West Yorkshire."

The internet reacted in a typically comical fashion.
