According to Daily Mail reports, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi’s move to the Cotswolds has been plagued by a series of mishaps — from a viral video that attracted paparazzi to a swimming pool that allegedly drained Jeremy Clarkson’s pub of water . the couple, who left California after Donald Trump’s re-election, now find themselves at the centre of a resurfaced rift narrative as Clarkson’s new season of Clarkson’s Farm conspicuously cuts their appearance from a Corrs concert.

The 56ft swimming pool that halted the Farmer’s Boy opening

On his second day in business at the Farmer’s Boy pub,Jeremy Clarkson’s water supply ran dry. The cause, as the Daily Mail reported,was attributed to maintenance workers filling the 56ft-long swimming pool at Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi’s new home, Kitesbridge Farm, just a mile away. The incident set off a chain of tensions that have resurfaced with the latest series of Clarkson’s Farm on Amazon Prime.

Why The Corrs gig was erased from Clarkson’s Farm episode five

The Corrs concert at the pub was a highlight of season five, but viral footage shared by Clarkson’s partner Lisa Hogan in 2025 showed DeGeneres and De Rossi dancing on the balcony — a scene entirely absent from the episode. Other celebrities like Natalie Imbruglia and James Blunt were also cut. The omission has reignited speculation about a rift between the neighbours, despite Clarkson’s earlier denial .

A £20 million farmhouse, a flooded Windrush River, and an unsellable property

The couple’s first UK home, Kitesbridge Farm, has been repeatedly flooded by the nearby Windrush River, with sewage reportedly mixing with the water. According to the Daily Mail, they have been unable to sell the £20 million estate. They have since purchased another £20 million home 30 minutes north near Chipping Norton, moving to the Falkland Arms pub in the celebrity enclave of Great Tew, home to the Beckhams and near Soho Farmhouse.

Still unclear: Was the rift real — or just a TV edit?

Open questions remain: Did Lisa Hogan delete her Instagram video of the Corrs gig to quell the paparazzi storm, or was it pressure from the couple? Clarkson’s Farm has a history of manufacturing drama — is the missing footage a narraitve choice or a sign of genuine estrangement? And can DeGeneres and De Rossi ever sell the waterlogged Kitesbridge Farm?
