'“It’s the best ever. I’m having so much fun,” Ellen K tells The Hollywood Reporter of the new gig. “I had my expectations – it’s exceeding them.”

Both the UK and American versions of the series capture the unique lifestyles and over-the-top rituals and wedding customs of Gypsies and Travellers who have lived in relative secrecy until now. 

“The drama and the celebrations and the over-the-top stuff happening speaks for itself,” Ellen K says of the series. “So, it’s been a real learning process for me and it’s been really fun and eye-opening.”
