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. '

The election was November 5th, so there is a good chance they moved after the election. I remember her whining about this back at that time. I don't doubt that she left because of Trump. I don't care the reason, as long as she left.

They maybe MOVED after the election but it was already in the works. Trump winning the election was just a good story for her to use instead of the truth which is nobody likes her.
Mohammedans just love those lez “couples.”
Good. I hope she gets all the Islam she deserves.
Geez Ellen. I don’t know whether I’ll be able to take it.

You can’t have a wife fool
Woo hoo!!Love winning!!!
Who?
Her muslim hosts may have something to say about her and her wife.
Stay away from tall buildings, Ellen.
My thoughts exactly.
Why the UK? Why not Africa or Arabia?
She is a comedian? I'm surprised!!
Now, I can sleep better knowing she moved to the UK... I was wondering why I didn't see her on TV...😀
Sharia in 2 years and they get the bomb!
93 responses as I open the post. I post U.S. Naval Institute Proceedings articles, and I am lucky if I get 9.
Nice. That is what I always called her.
I thought they broke up. 🤔
We’ll muddle through without you, Hon.
