Ellen DeGeneres gives update on UK living struggles: 'We couldn’t keep up'

Ellen DeGeneresand her wife Portia de Rossimoved to England back in November 2024.

During a recent sit-down interview in the town of Cheltenham, UK, with journalist Richard Bacon, the former TV host gave a detailed update on what life has really been like across the pond.

First and foremost, the couple quickly adapted to the country lifestyle and at one point in time were riding lawn mowers on a daily basis, just to keep their pastures down for the horses.

The constant maintenance frustrated Ellen and she recalled that she told Portia: "We just can't keep up with this." Portia came up with the idea to buy sheep, which led to a domino effect of trial and error for the pair.

Ellen shared: "[Portia] said, 'Let's just get four sheep to put in the pastures with the horses,' and we did. And the next morning they were just out and they were gone. They just climbed right out and then I had to buy electric fencing."

One would assume the problem would end there, but instead it had just begun. The entertainer expressed: "They were in there for a week. Then one got out and then they all got out. And then I was like I have to build an actual fence. So we built a fence and it was so ugly, it ruined everything. So I had to pay to take the fence down."

Ms Degenerate and her muncher apparently don’t like actual work.

RE: lesbian green acres.

Great analogy.

New reality show idea.
David Hogg as the new Mr. Haney.
Jake Tapper as Sam Drucker.
Nancy Pelosi (in drag) as Fred Ziffel.
Rosie O’Donnell as Arnold the Pig.

Pilot Episode: Morning Joe goes on location to feature the first drag queen gala for elementary school children in the town square put on by Ellen’s “wife”. Town council tries to thwart the plan but in the end the whole cast happily claps in unison with the drag queens as the show’s song is played during the end credits.

I saw the lawn mowers. They needed larger ones or brush hogs.

Green Acres is the place to be

Legs spread out so far and wide
Forget Manhattan just give me that countryside

I agree—isn’t Ellen rich? Why doesn’t she just hire people to do the work, and help provide employment while she’s at it?

I recently started watching Clarkson’s Farm and keep wondering the same thing—why doesn’t he hire someone like other rich people do? In that case, I get it, he’s making a TV show, which wouldn’t be that interesting seeing him giving orders to a bunch of farmhands, or talking to a farm manager, heaven forbid! Is Ellen making a TV show about her struggles moving to the country, too?

She should hire Jeremy Clarkson as a consultant on country living and let him film the interactions. That would be fun!

Retards from the retard factory. Probably upset no illegals available to work for them in the Cotswolds.

Ellen would make a good scarecrow.

No animal would go near her.

>> If she wasn’t cheap she’d have hired an experienced farm hand.

Queer farm hands are tough to find!
