Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's former Cotswolds home has been plagued with fresh flooding again, months after the couple put it on the market and relocated to higher grounds.
The couple is understood to be plotting a move back to the U.S. as they miss their friends and loved ones, and cannot afford to live through another British winter.
This comes after Ellen DeGeneres opted for a new life abroad following allegations she fostered a toxic workplace on her cancelled eponymous show.
DeGeneres and her wife, de Rossi, are still struggling to offload their former Cotswolds mansion, five months after they placed it up for sale.
-snip-
The couple is reportedly planning to make their way back to the U.S. because of the extremely low temperatures British winters come with.
When they first ditched the U.S. for life across the pond, DeGeneres and de Rossi sounded like they were never coming back in the near future, especially as they allegedly cited the political climate of the country following President Donald Trump's win at the polls.
However, reports claim they're now looking to return to California because they "miss their friends" and are looking to reunite with them during the holiday season, as well as the fact that they can't afford to live through another Cotswolds winter.

Well, at least that means they won’t be coming to Alaska. Murcowksy is enough for us.
“plagued with fresh flooding again” That’ll sell it!!
This story sounds fishy to me.
Really, when was that? LOL!
A normal person would have known that, prior to buying a home & moving there. The old saying applies here:
“You gotta be tough, to be dumb.”
The former owner saw her coming ,LOL
Maybe they should bunk with Rosie and make a go of it by remaining in the Islands.
You can’t fix California Stupid it is to the core.
Shouldn’t any potential buyers be concerned that with all the flooding the house will reek of fish?
I’m not clear on whether the house itself is being damaged by flooding, or the property becomes surrounded by floodwaters (?)
Either way, I’m sure they could have learned about the issue if they’d done the proper research...
I’m a real estate developer and we call this “The Greater Fool Theory” which is essentially the seldom mentioned underlying theory behind all real estate transactions.
Yeah.
She was afraid she would soon be required to wear a burka and would be tossed on her own roof by the rising leadership there.
Deny ye the bleak chill o' the Brutal Cotswolds Winter?
That's why Napoleon gave up on invading Old Blighty and went to Russia instead.
Field duty sucked, miserable 24/7. I missed most of that at Hahn Air Base, as I was in the Wing CP during alerts (Army Liasion Officer). I was the only officer besides the CO with a TS clearance.
Like an ingrown toenail.
Well played!
That doesn’t seem to have been a wise choice...
When I was a kid I could play in the snow all day.
Now I’m a hothouse plant.
Probably show up on Bravo......
