Tickets are no longer available for Ellen Degeneres' UK shows. The US comedian was due to be heading out on an In Conversation tour later this year, taking in dates close to her home in the Cotswolds. 

The shows were due to take place in Reading, Milton Keynes, Bath, Oxford and Bsristol in October and November.

The dates, however, no longer appear on ticket websites and beyond the joke has been told that refunds have been issued.

No reason has been given for the change in plans. BTJ has asked Live Nation for a comment.

DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi bought a house in the Cotswolds in 2024. They had originally planned for the home to be a "part-time house" where they would spend three to four months out of the year, but made the move permanent after Donald Trump's second election victory.
