Ellen DeGeneres<\/a> has said she’d ‘love’ to host a talk show in the UK after moving over from the US<\/a>. However, there’s one problem.<\/p>\n

The American comedian, 67, moved to Britain with her wife, Portia de Rossi, 52,<\/a> in November last year, deciding to set up a new life here<\/a> after Donald Trump<\/a> was re-elected.<\/p>\n

While she tends to keep a low profile these days, this weekend, Ellen made her first public appearance since relocating, joining a conversation with Richard Bacon at the Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham.<\/p>\n

She reflected on the bullying scandal that rocked her hit talk show in the States, ultimately leading to a decline in popularity and its full cancellation in 2022.<\/p>\n

After fronting over 3,000 episodes, Ellen hosted her final episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show in May of that year, having been engulfed by accusations of a toxic workplace and at the centre of a wider investigation.<\/p>\n

Despite it leading to a decline in viewership, Ellen has remained defiant in the face of the allegations, now saying she’d jump at the chance to replicate some success in the UK.<\/p>\n

In 2020, the host was accused of ‘bullying’ on set and an investigation was opened (Picture: AP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But while she misses her old chat show ‘a lot’, she isn’t sure its format would work anymore, as she explained tonight in quotes obtained by BBC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

‘I mean, I wish it did, because I would do the same thing here. I would love to do that again,’ she admitted. ‘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 information and entertainment.’<\/p>\n

Ellen confessed to having no plans for what she wants to do next, but she’ll be planning her future career moves ‘very carefully’.<\/p>\n

‘I just don’t know what that is yet,’ she stated, declaring that she does want to have ‘fun’ after growing ‘bored’ in recent months, now that she’s not in front of the bright lights and cameras.<\/p>\n

Ellen, who now lives in a sprawling Cotswolds mansion<\/a>, previously spoke about being ‘cancelled’ by the internet when she was accused of being ‘mean’ to staff behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

She once called the accusations of toxicity behind the cameras of her show \u2018orchestrated\u2019 and \u2018misogynistic\u2019, later telling her 2024 tour crowd<\/a> that she struggled with knowing how to confront the matter.<\/p>\n
