Netflix Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget character Frizzle named 'best Scouse representation in years'

Fun-loving Liverpudlians have gone wild joking about a rebellious animated chicken and dubbed it the 'best Scouse representation we've had in years'.

Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget was released on Netflix last week, picking up the story from the Aardman classic from 2000. The sequel features a star-studded cast, with Thandiwe Newton, Bella Ramsey and Zachary Levi all giving their voices to the chickens.

Most wouldn't have expected to hear a Liverpudlian among the chickens, but Liverpool viewers were left grinning when they first saw the chicken Frizzle on their screens, with her Scouse accent.

Voiced by Josie Sedgewick-Davies, who is from Liverpool, Frizzle is the 'wild card' of the group and has gone down well with Scousers who took to social media to praise the 'best Scouse representation we've had in years'.

On X, Joe Campbell said: "I’m about 10 minutes into the new chicken run film and there’s a new character called Frizzle. She’s Scouse and keeps saying ‘Kidda’. This is the best day ever, if only she was wearing 110’s."

Another X user 'andxtay' said: "Frizzle in Chicken Run 2 is the best Scouse representation we've had in years." X user 'Thingeo' said: "Scouse chicken on the new chicken run on Netflix go on girl."
