For whatever reason that accent seems easier for US people. My wife can do a killer imitation of a Love Island-like girl but neither of us can do anything resembling the accents on the more posh side without it turning into caricature quickly. We used to watch a lot of British panel shows.

It’s also a very amusing accent. It can be made to sound like a British version of the “valley girl” accent pretty easily.
