LONDON -- Okay, everyone take a seat, we have some big news. The Ellen DeGeneres Show is finally coming to British television.

The American TV host will grace the screens of ITV2 from Jan. 18, according to a tweet from the show's account.

We got Elley on the Telly! I’ll see you on @ITV2, UK. #GetElleyOnTheTelly— Ellen DeGeneres (@TheEllenShow) January 11, 2016

Twitter users were pretty pleased by the news.

@TheEllenShow @itv2 I've waited 13 seasons for this, thank you.— suz (@suzaxne) January 11, 2016

@TheEllenShow @itv2 YESSSS!! Only fair, America got @JKCorden so we need Ellen — Jo (@jolaurenx) January 11, 2016

However, before you jump for joy, the show will air at 1:45 p.m. every day, which unfortunately isn't great timing for people who aren't home during the day. But fear not, we can always record it and watch it later with a cup of tea.

The show, which began in 2003, has featured guest like Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber and One Direction. It's also the programme that introduced the world to Sophia Grace -- the 12 year old from Essex.
