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. '

My tax advice, Ellen - give up your US citizenship. And also because we don’t you back. Ditto for Rosie.
Good... GFY.
Good...I’m glad they’re staying over there.
And Dr appointments, she’s not going to rely on the NHS.
Grignotage joyeux.
Who cares good bye & good riddance.

Mine’s working fine. No reading, though.
AI is getting better. But the Antifa banner is messed up.
Is she checking in every so often to let the world know how she is doing ?
She can stop.

Glad she’s gone
Thank you Mr President.
They named her after a car?
She’s disgusting and I am simply pleased she has gone from our nation. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Unless they need healthcare... Then they’ll be on her private jet and back stateside before you know it.
Don’t go away mad, just go away!
Great, good luck with those Muslims running the country. Hope your U.S. citizenship can be cancelled.
