George Clooney, Russell Brand and Debbie McGee’s multi-million-pound homes are flooded after weeks of continuous rain caused River Thames to burst it banks

Millions of pounds worth of houses belonging to the famous George Clooney, Russell Brand and Debbie McGee were flooded as the rains that had been going on for weeks caused the River Thames to overflow.

Aerial images show floodwaters encroaching on properties located close to the river in picturesque towns and villages in Berkshire.

The UK has been deluged with persistent rainfall in recent weeks, with some areas experiencing downpours almost every day of the year so far.

The Environment Agency has issued hundreds of flood warnings due to rising water levels in some of the country’s main rivers and lakes.

Berkshire, the county loved by celebrities looking for an alternative to city life, could not escape the flood.

Flood warnings have also been issued for Remenham, where Mr Brand lives under fire, as well as Wargrave, where former Strictly star Miss McGee lives.

Meanwhile, Mr Clooney and his wife, human rights lawyer Amal, own a luxury estate on the banks of the River Thames in Sonning..

They reportedly paid £12 million for the house. However, due to the recent flood, its large gardens and tennis courts were flooded.

The images also show water surrounding Russell Brand’s home, which he bought for £3.3 million in 2016.

The couple bought the house called ‘Castle Clooney’ in 2014 and moved in two years later after an extensive renovation.

They own several homes, including another home in Lake Como, Italy, and a vineyard estate in Brignoles, France, as well as properties in Los Angeles.

The footage also shows water surrounding Mr Brand’s home, which he bought for £3.3 million in 2016.

The property is located on a 1-acre plot overlooking the River Thames.

The comedian is thought to spend most of his time at another home in Florida’s Santa Rosa Beach, where he and his wife Laura Gallacher moved in 2024.

Meanwhile, Ms. McGee’s home appears to be the one most affected by the fact that the property is now virtually surrounded by water.

The artist was forced to flee his home in 2024 after flooding from the nearby River Thames caused thousands of pounds worth of damage.

George’s Sonning home, thought to be worth between £10-12 million, was ‘completely submerged’ in recent floods

Mr. Brand’s property sits on a 1-acre plot overlooking the River Thames, and the comedian splits his time between that and another home in Florida.

A friend told the Daily Mail at the time: ‘Debbie has had a terrible time. ‘When his house was flooded in January, the water flowed very quickly and just when he had finished all the work to put things in order and get himself together, it flooded again.’

The house has flooded several times in the past few years, prompting him to install a pumping system to prevent further damage.

However, after the flood of 2024, this failed as high waters overran the system.

The Environment Agency called on local people to ‘be prepared’, adding that ‘flooding is possible’ in designated areas.

For Henley, Remenham, Medmenham and their tributaries it states: ‘Flooding of low lying land and roads, particularly in the Henley area, is expected to continue in the coming days.

‘More rainfall is expected in the next 24 hours. ‘We expect river levels to remain high and susceptible to further rainfall over the next few days.’

At least 300 properties across England have been flooded this year, according to the Environment Agency.

The EA’s flood manager Andrew Hitchings previously said: ‘As another wave of rain approaches, we want the public to be mindful of the risk of flooding.

‘As well as being likely to retain significant groundwater in parts of Dorset and Wiltshire, there is a risk of significant river flooding on the Somerset Levels; Minor river flooding is expected in parts of the East Midlands and possible in Worcestershire and Gloucestershire.

‘More than 16,000 homes and businesses have been protected so far but unfortunately 300 homes and businesses have been flooded and our thoughts are with the communities affected.

‘Our teams will continue to do all they can to support local people by installing pumps, temporary barriers and clearing waterways to allow flood water to drain.’

Met Office figures for February show rainfall is already well above average across much of the UK.

As of February 8, the city of Aberdeen had reached 180 per cent of its February average, ahead of Kincardineshire (152 per cent) and Angus (130 per cent).

Further south, on the same date, the Isle of Wight had reached 108 per cent of its average and Worcestershire had 103 per cent.

“These early-month figures show how the persistently unstable pattern has front-loaded rainfall totals, with some locations exceeding the typical rainfall for the entire month in the first eight days,” the Met Office said. he said.

The weather service also revealed specific towns where the rain has barely stopped over the past few weeks.

Between 31 December and 10 February it rained for 42 consecutive days at Cardinham in North Wyke in Devon, Cardinham in Cornwall and Astwood Bank in Worcester.

Two other sites – Liscombe in Somerset (3 January to 10 February 2026) and Camborne in Cornwall (3 January to 10 February 2026) – recorded 39 days of operation.

“These long series reflect how frequently showers and showers occur across the country and how rare it is for local dry intervals to be long enough to break the daily count,” the Met Office added.

The jet stream is especially responsible for rainy weather.

This fast-moving river of air flows several kilometers above the Earth’s surface and is located further south than we would expect for this time of year.

‘As the jet stream shifts southwards across the Atlantic, it tends to direct low pressure systems directly towards the UK, increasing the frequency and intensity of rain-bearing weather fronts,’ the Met Office said.
