Piers Morgan mocks Ellen’s shift to the UK
The couple who has been married for 16 years left the US behind and have shifted to the Cotswolds in South West England, according to the reports. Their mansion in Montecito, located about 90 miles north of Los Angeles, has either already been listed privately for sale or will be put on the market soon, as reported by The Independent.
As their shift became public, it reached the British broadcaster who jokingly responded on X, formerly known as Twitter, “OMG… no!”
Responding to Morgan’s post, one of the X users wrote: “America got better today.”
“Apologies in advance to British people,” another commented, while the third user said, “At least it wasn’t Canada.”
According to TMZ, the two had already purchased a place to call home in England before election results were announced, however, they were “very disillusioned” with Trump’s victory and decided to “get the hell out” of the States forever. The news followed Ellen’s career collapse after allegations of creating a toxic work environment on the sets of her talk show. Subsequently, in August, she announced her retirement after winding up her Ellen’s Last Stand…Up tour which will also be part of the Netflix special called For Your Approval.
One user wrote, “At least it wasn’t Canada,” while another user wrote, “apologies in advance to British people,” on X.
