On his own late-night US talk show, Corden has now confirmed that there was never any truth to the rumours.
Despite the rumours of DeGeneres’s imminent departure, the star returned to her talk show this week (21 September), where she addressed the controversy surrounding her.
“Genuinely, I have no idea where that story came from, I think someone started a rumour somewhere and someone jumped on it,” Corden explained. “There’s absolutely no truth to that story at all, zero.”
During an edition of “Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts”, in which he and a celebrity guest must either answer a provocative question or eat something foul, Corden addressed the speculation.
