Ellen DeGeneres has confirmed she left the US because of President Trump in a candid new interview.
The comedian and presenter, 67, now lives in the Cotswolds with her wife Portia de Rossi, 52, and told how they are 'staying here' for good now.
This weekend she spoke with broadcaster Richard Bacon at the Everyman theatre in Cheltenham where she opened up about the huge life changes.
She also said she and Portia - who first wed in 2008 - were considering tying the knot again in the UK after some moves in the US to reverse the right to gay marriage.
Ellen said during the conversation: 'We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, 'He got in'.' 'And we're like, 'We're staying here'.'
Speaking of her love for the UK she added: 'It's absolutely beautiful. We're just not used to seeing this kind of beauty. The villages and the towns and the architecture - everything you see is charming and it's just a simpler way of life.
'It's clean. Everything here is just better - the way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here.
'We moved here in November, which was not the ideal time, but I saw snow for the first time in my life. We love it here. Portia flew her horses here, and I have chickens, and we had sheep for about two weeks.'
Ellen also spoke about the increasing threats to same sex marriage in the US during the conversation.
She said: 'The Baptist Church in America is trying to reverse gay marriage.
'They're trying to literally stop it from happening in the future and possibly reverse it. '

Enjoy living under muzzie rule.
“””’We moved here in November, which was not the ideal time””
So they moved there BEFORE the election but it was because Trump won. Yeah, sure.
How many losses can we be expected to take?
Will The View go on location permanently on the Mediterranean shore of Portugal? Said to be a rival for beauty to the South of France.
Persona Non Grata
Ellen Degenerate
Ellen, I don’t think anyone really cares…but thanks for sharing… I guess.
And when Nigel Farage becomes PM?
She would have been eliminated by networks anyway. Content was terrible. Not sure how tennis shoes and lesbianism plays in England. Nor do I care.
More winning!
…queer, moved out of Country, no one cared. Reminds us why she left, still no one cares.
Like fat lesbo Rosie.
Since you’re gone— leave us
ALONE.
I’d say it had more to do with everyone who ever worked for her outing her toxic behavior to the media.
I think you’re making the best choice for you & America! bye bye
“Enjoy living under muzzie rule.”
Actually, they might be ok, as any muzzie that gets near those beasts will likely be EXPELLED from his community.
Someone please tell me of a safe space where I can go and cry. This deserves a room to go into deep greif.
Will the WINNING ever end?
I bet she flys back for Dental appointments
Winning!
