Chrishell Stause gave the notoriously difficult Australian accent a try when she appeared on The Project on Tuesday.
The Selling Sunset star, who has landed a role on Aussie soap Neighbours, was challenged to say ‘I love The Project’ by the show’s panel.
The 43-year-old gave it a go, but admitted she wasn’t particularly skilled in that department.
‘It was terrible but you made the are promo!’ co-host Sarah Harris joked.
‘I would have been fired immediately. I can’t do an Australian accent. You’re all safe. I’m playing an American,’ Chrishell explained.
Elsewhere in the interview, she badly mispronounced Erinsborough, the fictional suburb where the soap is set.
The star called it ‘Erins-borrow’ instead of ‘Erins-burra’ which Aussies are more likely to say.
The reality star did much better on Melbourne, the city in Victoria where the show is filmed.

She correctly pronounced it ‘Mel-bin’ rather than ‘Mel-bourne’ which many Americans do.
‘Congratulations on how you said Melbourne!’ The Project cast told her, genuinely impressed.
Chrishell, who recently tied the knot to Australian musician G Flip for a second time, is currently Down Under to appear on a reboot of the iconic Australian soap opera Neighbours.
