Russell Brand’s £3.3 million home in Oxfordshire has been flooded after the heavy rainfall lead the River Thames to break its banks.
The controversial comedian has retreated to his countryside bolthole in recent months after being questioned by police twice in relation to allegations of rape.
And pictures of Russell’s mansion show his property being surrounded by water after heavy rain in the area, just a year after poor weather placed his home under threat.
But Russell’s home appears to be on a raised level compared to the now partially submerged garden, which will offer some protection against the rising waters.
In October, Russell faced serious accusations from a series of women, including rape and sexual assault when four women made allegations to the Sunday Times and Channel 4’s Dispatches programme, and then a slew of further claims emerged as women told their stories to newspapers and the BBC.

The comedian has strenuously denied wrongdoing, and says he has evidence to refute allegations. He has called the claims a conspiracy by the ‘mainstream media’.
Russell has always maintained that his relationships were consensual and has hired Prince Andrew’s ‘pit bull’ lawyer to fight the sex claims in the US.
After the claims came to light, Russell appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show earlier this month, where he referenced the allegations he faces and the ongoing police and BBC investigations several times.
Speaking on Carlson’s broadcast, Brand said: ‘I reject the allegations in the strongest possible terms. I am aware I have put myself in an extremely vulnerable position by being very, very promiscuous.’
‘Attacks like this, accused of what I consider to be the most appalling crimes, is very painful and hurtful. But there are consequences to the foolish way I lived in the past,’ he continued.
Brand described the crimes he’s accused of as ‘appalling’ before adding criticism he faces is a ‘deliberate profound attempt to shut down any dissent in an astonishingly aggressive way’.
Brand has been questioned by detectives from London’s Metropolitan Police over allegations of historical sex offences.
The force said in September it had launched an investigation into a number of allegations of non-recent sexual offences following media reports that women had accused Brand of a string of sexual assaults.

Brand has rejected what he has described as ‘very serious allegations’, saying on his social media channels he has never had non-consensual sex. There have been no charges brought in the UK.
The actor and comedian has hired Hollywood powerhouse Andrew Brettler to fight the sex claims in the US.
During the discussion, he also said that at the time of the documentary his infant son who was 12 weeks old at the time was undergoing heart surgery.
‘My son was born with a heart condition, while this was happening he was undergoing heart surgery at 12 weeks old,’ he told Carlson.
Brand has been questioned by police twice in relation to a total of nine alleged offences and police inquiries are ongoing. He has always maintained that his relationships were consensual.
MailOnline previously revealed that Russell, who shares three children with his wife of seven years, Laura Gallacher, has been running his business operation out of a disused pub in the town of Pishall, Oxfordshire.
The report went onto disclose that Brand, despite his consistent claims that he has been canceled as a result of the sexual assault allegations, makes nearly £5 million per year from his controversial content.
