Following Ellen DeGeneres’ shock announcement she has coronavirus, the talk show host has taken to Twitter to share an unlikely symptom.

Ellen DeGeneres has shared a health updated with fans after revealing she tested positive for coronavirus last week.

The embattled talk show host, 62, whose show was abruptly halted following the shock news, posted to Twitter today addressing fans from her LA home.

While she said she was feeling “really good” despite the diagnosis, she did reveal a rarely-discussed symptom of the deadly virus.

“Hi everybody, just saying thank you to all the well wishes out there, I appreciate it very much. I’m feeling 100 per cent, I feel really good,” DeGeneres shared.

The talk show host went on to say she was experiencing an unlikely symptom as she recovered from her home with wife Portia de Rossi,

“One thing that they don’t tell you is you get, somehow, excruciating back pain,” she said. ”Didn’t know that was a symptom, but I talked to some other people — back pain. Who knew? How come?”

DeGeneres wrapped the video with a classic game of Connect Four with de Rossi.
