Former British television queen Ellen DeGeneres has opted for a rural version of British life in the Cotswolds. In their small, cosmopolitan new town, Ellen is rubbing shoulders with Jeremy Clarkson, Kate Moss, and David and Victoria Beckham, along with her wife Portia Rossi.

Clarkson played host to the couple at his pub, The Farmer’s Dog, where they were spotted enjoying an acoustic night with celebs including Natalie Imbruglia, Lisa Hogan, and James Blunt. What a fantastic night in the pub with @thecorrsofficial was a photo from the evening that was shared on Instagram. . how a good pub night should be conducted. . acoustic set, a few drinks, great friends @jeremyclarkson1 thanks for organising it! “

Fans did a double take when Ellen switched to a dramatic new look, opting instead for a dark pixie cut.

After a tumultuous clash with Victoria Derbyshire, Jeremy Clarkson admits to having a serious issue with Clarkson’s Farm.

According to a source, Ellen and Portia have been mingling with Clarkson’s partner Lisa Hogan and singer James Blunt while watching The Corrs perform at a nearby pub. The insider also spilled the beans on Ellen’s move, confirming that after months of house hunting, she’s officially a UK homeowner, as reported by the Express.

“Ellen was house hunting in England at the beginning of October,” a different source told PEOPLE. She eventually purchased the house she loved and later found. “

In 2020, Ellen made the decision to step down after nearly 20 years in the spotlight as a result of allegations of a toxic work environment. As a result, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which had been on air for 19 seasons, broadcasted its last episode in May 2022.

Recent results in the US general election may have had an impact on her decision to relocate. According to an insider who spoke to the Daily Mail, “some people in the US didn’t like her because of her sexual preferences, and others were offended by her persona, which some perceived to be fake in the wake of the workplace allegations.”

She added that moving away from her problems is easier than trying to “confront them,” adding that the incident “seems to put an end to what she once was in people’s minds.” “
