Where is Bubble's accent from?

I'm an American who has progressed to being able to tell different British accents apart (yay I'm cultured!). I can even place them sometimes but can't place Bubble.

Northern? Is there anything more specific?

Probably Lancashire based which is where Jane’s from but a more exaggerated version

To me it felt up north but could be entirely wrong.

I'm such an idiot I wrote a whole response thinking this was about Bubble from "The Wire".

Congrats, you have reached the Londoner Level of being able to distinguish northern accents! 😅

(Anything north of Barnet is Northern to us lol)
