Celebrity Cotswold neighbours Jeremy Clarkson and Ellen DeGeneres are at the centre of a fresh ‘feud’, according to national reports.
Ms DeGeneres, 68, and wife Portia de Rossi, 53, are nowhere to be seen in the latest series of the Amazon hit series, Clarkson’s Farm, despite previously being filmed enjoying a star‑studded night at Clarkson’s Cotswolds pub, across the Oxfordshire border.
The pair quietly relocated from California to a reported £22.5m mansion near Diddly Squat Farm in 2024, seeking countryside calm away from Donald Trump’s second term.
Their cover was blown when Mr Clarkson’s partner Lisa Hogan posted videos from a packed gig at his Burford pub, The Farmer’s Dog, showing Ms DeGeneres and Ms de Rossi rubbing shoulders with James Blunt and Natalie Imbruglia, as The Corrs played an impromptu set upstairs.
That footage has now resurfaced in series five, but in the edited episode, the Irish band’s performance is shown with no sign of the US couple.
The absence has sparked fresh speculation that tensions between the celebrity neighbours are rumbling on.
Producers told the Metro there’s nothing sinister behind the snub, saying Ms DeGeneres simply “wasn’t filmed for the series and therefore wasn’t edited out”, and that she only dropped in because she is “local to the area”.
Insiders, however, told the Daily Mail the viral video outing the pair’s UK base triggered weeks of paparazzi attention, helping push them towards another home in California.
