Jenna Ushkowitz has revealed that her Glee character gave her a stutter.

Ushkowitz plays Tina, who started off the series with a speech impediment but later admitted to Artie (Kevin McHale) that she faked it.

"I did not know [the stutter wasn't real] until I read the script," she told DS. "Which was interesting, because I always went into it thinking it was real."

However, she added: "When it was faked I was actually kind of relieved, because I was like, 'Now I can have more than one line at a time'. I kind of liked it - it gave her another edge or another layer. So I did appreciate it."

Ushkowitz explained that she struggled to speak with a stutter at first but continued: "After a while I started to stutter in real life. And then during the scenes after the reveal, I would stutter and Kevin would be like, 'Jenna, you're not stuttering anymore'. I had to bring myself back because I realised it wasn't real."
