Ellen DeGeneres seems to have made some enemies in the U.K., where she and wife Portia de Rossi are currently living. And as a result, the couple are apparently looking for a new place to live!
The 67-year-old former talk show host and her wife are currently living in an $18M farmhouse in the picturesque Cotswolds, where other A-listers including Simon Cowell, Kate Moss, and David and Victoria Beckham also have homes. However, their neighbors have reportedly not been happy with the building work that was going on at the property, which may be one of the reasons tempting them to leave.

Ellen DeGeneres And Portia De Rossi's Cotswolds Neighbors Were Reportedly Unhappy With Their Building Work
If you recall, their neighbors were reportedly unhappy that they were building an extension on their property, as they feared it could increase the risk of flooding and also disturb Roman remains.
"The onus is on the owner to report any historic remains uncovered," read an official note from the parish council. "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,'" the note added.
And another reason for the couple wanting to leave their home is due to flood damage that was caused by Storm Bert, if we are to believe reports. "Ellen and Portia have had several issues with the place they initially moved into," a source reportedly told the Daily Mail. "First there was the flooding, of course, then there was an issue with some locals complaining about some building work carried out at the property."
Ellen DeGeneres And Portia De Rossi Are Already Eyeing A 'Much More Hollywood' Inspired Property With 'Spectacular' Views
The insider went on to suggest that Ellen and Portia already have their eye on a new property in the Cotswolds. And unlike their first home, which was like a farmhouse, the one they are looking to buy is reportedly much more glamorous and reminiscent of their Hollywood home.
"They looked at it several times. And they liked it more each time they looked," the insider shared, adding: "So it does look like it's happening. They've been seen around there several times in recent weeks and have even had interactions with neighbors."
And they don't need to worry about flood damage in future, if we are to believe the insider, as the new property is said to be at the top of a hill! "It represents quite a change for them – from a traditional farmhouse to something much more Hollywood," the insider said.
"But I guess that's what they felt like after their first winter in England. But whatever the weather does they won't be flooded again as it's at the top of a hill and the views are spectacular," they concluded.
