Ellen DeGeneres is plotting a career comeback... after getting 'a bit bored watching chickens' in England
Ellen DeGeneres has hinted that she would like to revive her career because she's 'a bit bored' in the English countryside. The 67-year-old TV host's long-running series The Ellen DeGeneres Show ended in 2022 after 19 seasons on-air. Now living in the UK countryside with her wife Portia de Rossi after they moved to the Cotswolds from California in November. Ellen revealed she's busy looking after her menagerie of farm animals which includes horses, sheep and chickens, but she's also thinking about what to do next. Speaking to TV presenter Richard Bacon during her In Conversation with Ellen DeGeneres event at Cheltenham's Everyman theatre, Ellen explained: 'I mean, I wish it [the talk show format worked], because I would do the same thing here [in the UK]. 'I would love to do that again, but I just feel like people are watching on their phones, or people aren't really paying attention as much to televisions, because we're so inundated with with information and entertainment.' Now living in the UK countryside with her wife Portia de Rossi after they moved to the Cotswolds from California in November. Ellen revealed she's busy looking after her menagerie of farm animals which includes horses, sheep and chickens, but she's also thinking about what to do next Ellen added: '[I'll pick my next career move] very carefully. I just don't know what that is yet. I want to have fun, I want to do something. I do like my chickens but I'm a little bit bored.' Ellen's TV show ended following a slew of allegations about a 'toxic' atmosphere onset - which prompted an on-air apology from the star - but she fears she will forever be painted as 'mean.' She explained: 'It's as simple as, I'm a direct person, and I'm very blunt, and I guess sometimes that means that... I'm mean?... 'How dare us [women] have any kind of mood, or you can't be anything other than nice and sweet and kind and submissive and complacent... 'I don't think I can say anything that's ever going to get rid of that [reputation] or dispel it, which is hurtful to me. I hate it. I hate that people think that I'm that because I know who I am and I know that I'm an empathetic, compassionate person.' But before she returns to entertainment she may walk down the aisle again. DeGeneres and her wife de Rossi are considering getting remarried in the UK if the US overturns same-sex marriage. The couple - whose move to the Cotswolds was spurred on by the re-election of President Donald Trump in 2024 - tied the knot during an intimate ceremony at their home in Los Angeles, California, in 2008. '[It] certainly an unpleasant way to end [the talk show].' Speaking to TV presenter Richard Bacon during her In Conversation with Ellen DeGeneres event at Cheltenham's Everyman theatre, Ellen explained: 'I mean, I wish it [the talk show format worked], because I would do the same thing here [in the UK]. I would love to do that again' But after a vote by Southern Baptists in June to endorse a resolution that would look to overturn Obergefell v Hodges - the Supreme Court case that legalized same-sex marriage across the US in June 2015 - Ellen and Portia are 'looking into' saying 'I do' in the UK to protect their marriage. Speaking to TV presenter Bacon she revealed: '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. 'Portia and I are already looking into it, and if they do that, we're going to get married here.' A reversal of Obergefell would not ban gay marriage, but would call 'for laws that affirm marriage between one man and one women'. Later in the talk, Ellen expressed her sadness that not all societies accept people of all sexualities. She said: 'I wish we were at a place where it was not scary for people to be who they are. I wish that we lived in a society where everybody could accept other people and their differences. 'So until we're there, I think there's a hard place to say we have huge progress.' Ellen confirmed she and Portia, 52, moved to the UK because of Donald Trump, 79, being re- elected as President of the United States in November 2024. Admitting that 'everything here is just better' after leaving the Republican Party-led country, the former talk-show host said: '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.'
