Ellen DeGeneres ‘locked in row with neighbours over fence at her £15million UK home as locals say it could cause FLOODS’

ELLEN DeGeneres is reportedly in a row with neighbours over a fence and extension at her £15m Cotswolds home.

The former chat-show host has alleged been allegedly accused of creating a flood risk as well as disturbing Roman ruins.

Ellen, 67, and her wife Portia de Rossi, 52, reportedly made a "technical breach" when they built a single-storey extension to the property, a source told the Daily Mail.

They moved to their stunning Cotswolds farmhouse in November 2024, upon hearing the news that President Trump would be stepping back into the White House.

Whilst the couple have been enjoying their slice of the English countryside, their nesting has ruffled the feathers of their local parish councillors - including Cllr Rosie Pearson.

Rosie, the youngest of The Viscount's six children, contacted local planning enforcement officers over fears that Ellen's building work would "increase flood risk in the village".

The showbiz couple's £15million house is also within spitting distance of Roman ruins, which also worried the councillors.

"The onus is on the owner to report any historic remains uncovered,'" records a note from the parish council minutes.

It adds: "Concern was expressed by residents that the hedge and wire fence could increase flood risk in the village' if rubbish was swept down and 'caught on the fence', thereby 'limiting flow across the field".

 A spokesperson told MailOnline that the Roman ruins are more than 200 yards from Ellen's property and that the work was "completed to a high standard".

The former talk-show host 'quit' America after President Trump stepped back into power.

She has reportedly said that she is "never going back" to the US.

According to The Wrap, President Trump's recent election sparked the move, and Ellen's $27 million Montecito mansion is quietly on the market.

In 2020, Ellen was accused by former staff and visitors on her talk show of promoting a toxic work environment.

She's since joked about being "kicked out of show business."

Ellen recently appeared in a Netflix comedy special, during which she said, "I decided to take up gardening.

"I got chickens. Let me see what else I can tell you about that’s been going on…

"Oh yeah, I got kicked out of show business… Yeah, the ‘Be kind’ girl wasn’t kind. That was the headline."

The comedy show, For Your Approval, was described as the star's farewell to the industry.

Ellen announced her "final" stand-up tour in May, and has since made the jump to the British countryside, swapping out the high-life for hillsides.

Pub goers were left gobsmacked as they spotted the US star at Jeremy Clarkson's pub last year.

Clarkson lives in the Cotswolds and is one of the few famous faces rumoured to be living in the highly sought-after region.

Others celebritys said to be living luxuriously in the Cotswold include Kate Moss, Amanda Holden and the Beckhams.

Taylor Swift even rented out a pad there during her phenomenally popular Eras Tour.

The Sun has reached out to Ellen DeGeneres' representatives for a comment.
