She is the darling of British athletics who has not put a foot wrong since winning the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Her achievements have led to profitable endorsements with brands such as Nike, Omega, and Rimmel London, resulting in an estimated net worth of £4 million.

However, Keely Hodgkinson might find herself in a bit of trouble after posting a video where she criticized American accents, describing them as ‘irritating and harsh.’

In her recent TikTok post, the 23-year-old can be seen rolling her eyes and sipping a drink while a woman’s voice says, ‘And now I want to sit back, relax, and enjoy my evening, when suddenly, I hear this irritating, harsh voice.’

Keely captioned the video: ‘When there are Americans in the restaurant’ and ‘They’re really the loudest in the room’.

Her video, which comes three days after she won a bronze medal in Tokyo at the World Athletics Championships, has received mixed reviews.

One American fan commented, ‘God forbid we have fun,’ while another wrote, ‘Be nice to your American fans’ to which she replied, ‘Love y’all’.

Olympic gold medalist in the 100m hurdles, Masai Russell, who hails from America, commented: ‘Hey, not too much!’ to which Keely replied, ‘Y’all are the most fun.’

Meanwhile, some people agreed with Keely’s sentiment, with one individual stating, ‘So true for pointing this out,’ and another adding, ‘Absolutely, it’s incredibly annoying, they are the worst.’

It comes after Keely was pipped to the World Championships by her training partner and room-mate, Georgia Hunter Bell, who placed second, and Kenya’s unheralded Lilian Odira.

She has been kept off the track for 376 days after a hamstring injury, and she was visibly gutted when she saw the results board on Monday.

It was later revealed Hodgkinson had been ill for the past few days and said: ‘It has been an absolute s***show, honestly.

‘I think when you look at some of the greats in all sports, there are years where they haven’t done as well, or they’ve missed podiums, or they’ve missed a complete year.

‘Somehow, I’ve managed to stay on that trajectory, which I think is incredible. At the end of my career, I think people will remember what you’ve won, not what you’ve lost.

‘This will just go down as part of my journey and on reflection, I’ll be happy.’

Keely has been contacted for comment by the Daily Mail.
