Punters stunned as they spot ‘unrecognisable’ US megastar watching Irish band at Jeremy Clarkson’s pub
PUB GOERS was left gobsmacked as they spotted a US megastar at Jeremy Clarkson’s pub last week.
The TV presenter looked unrecognisable alongside her wife during evening out The Farmer’s Dog, after reports that they’ve relocated from US to rural England.
In video posted by the watering hole, former daytime chat show host Ellen DeGeneres, 66, and her wife Portia de Rossi, 51, were among guests listening to music from 90s icons The Corrs.
The act brought their nostalgic hits to life with an intimate acoustic set.
Ellen swapped her trademark blonde tresses for a brunette look and was wearing a black turtle neck jumper, while actress Portia matched her in a black outfit.
While pop stars James Blunt, 50, and Natalie Imbruglia, 49, were also present as they enjoyed a few drinks with pals.
The post was captioned: “Natalie Imbruglia…James Blunt what a great night in the pub with The Corrs Official, the way a good pub night should be.. acoustic set, a few drinks, great friends Jeremy Clarkson thanks for organising it!”
Many fans were stunned to see Ellen at the venue.
One wrote: “As if Ellen and Portia were there! So wish I was there for this. The Corrs are my first love.”
A second said: “Should change the pubs name to Heaven Sent, looks like a wonderful time, love the Corrs!!”
Another added: “Clarkson’s Farm, the Corrs AND Natalie Imbruglia???”
A video of the music-filled evening was shared on the official Farmer’s Dog Instagram page where people could be seen singing along to the old hits.
The Corrs are a pop rock band made up of four Irish siblings, who incorporate their local folk music into their sound.
TV favourite Jeremy bought the Oxfordshire pub for £1million this summer, and customers queued for four hours just to get in when he opened its doors in August.
He had to do a lot of renovation work on the site before it could be opened to the public, but it seems to have paid off, as it has received high praise for being a “traditional British pub”.
The former Top Gear host has admitted that the boozer already costs him more than he’s making back, but for now, he is committed to keeping the prices down and only touting British produce.
Ellen’s UK move
While Ellen’s time in the UK comes it was revealed that she has moved to England and is reportedly “never going back” to the US.
The former talk show host and actress Portia have already relocated to the Cotswolds, a rural region in the south of the UK.
According to The Wrap, President Trump’s recent election sparked the move, and Ellen‘s $27 million Montecito mansion is quietly on the market.
In 2020, Ellen was accused by former staff and visitors on her talk show of promoting a toxic work environment.
She’s since joked about being “kicked out of show business.”
Ellen recently appeared in a Netflix comedy special, during which she said, “I decided to take up gardening.
“I got chickens. Let me see what else I can tell you about that’s been going on…
“Oh yeah, I got kicked out of show business… Yeah, the ‘Be kind’ girl wasn’t kind. That was the headline.”
In May, Ellen announced her “final” stand-up tour, telling fans, “Here it is!
