Zero

Could someone please explain to me the reason behind this new pronounciation of the number ZERO. I noticed it a couple of months ago over London. I thought the fella had hurt his tongue....
"ZEERDO". That's how it sounded. And a couple of days ago, I heard it in Dublin as well. What's the reason for this. If it's a new ICAO-english-thing, then it's stupid. It will make it even more difficult for non-english both to pronounce and understand.
