The Ellen DeGeneres Show is coming to the UK

"I can literally feel my crumpets tingling down in my cockles."

The Ellen DeGeneres Show is coming to the UK, airing on ITV2 from 18 January. 

It won't be old repeats either, with Variety reporting the channel will show new episodes from the current season in line with their US air dates.

It's exciting news, considering DeGeneres' natural affability has attracted some of the most high-profile guests around; recent interviews include the Star Wars: The Force Awakens' cast, Hillary Clinton, and Justin Bieber. The show has so far won 55 Daytime Emmys, including 9 for outstanding daytime talk show. 

 DeGeneres joked of the move, "“After what feels like decades of campaigning I’m so excited that my show is on ITV2. I can literally feel my crumpets tingling down in my cockles.” 

The UK can now afford to look forward to a whole host of DeGeneres' usual antics, including her particular penchant for scaring the absolute bejesus out of celebrities. Deceptively simple, yet weirdly magical in its execution.
