After testing positive for COVID-19, Ellen DeGeneres has revealed that one symptom has been giving her "excruciating" pain.

"Hi everybody, just saying thank you to all the well wishes out there. I appreciate it very much," Ellen says in the video. "I am feeling 100 percent. I feel really good."

She went on, "One thing they don't tell you is you get, somehow, excruciating back pain," adding that she "didn't know that was a symptom."

"Who knew? How come?" Ellen said. "Back pain. Bad."

Ellen first revealed that she had tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday last week. She wrote in a message posted to Twitter:

"Hi Everyone, I want to let you all know that I tested positive for Covid-19.

"Fortunately, I’m feeling fine right now. Anyone who has been in close contact with me has been notified, and I am following all proper CDC guidelines. I’ll see you all again after the holidays. Please stay healthy and safe.

"Love, Ellen."

A spokesperson for  Telepictures told PEOPLE in the wake of the news, "Following Ellen's announcement this morning, we have paused production on the Ellen DeGeneres Show until January."

The talk show host addressed the much-publicized allegations of workplace toxicity that swirled this summer in The Ellen Show's latest season premiere, per PEOPLE.

"As you may have heard, this summer there were accusations of a toxic work environment at our show, and then there was an investigation," Ellen said during a six-minute opening monologue. "I learned that things happened here that never should have happened. I take that very seriously, and I want to say I am so sorry to the people who were affected."

Earlier this year, Ellen received criticism for a "tone-deaf" interview with Justin Bieber where she questioned the 'Baby' singer about his family plans with wife Hailey Baldwin.

In the interview, Justin, 26, explained why he and Hailey, 24, were holding off on having a family for the time being, despite him wanting a "little tribe".

Appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday, the singer was asked a number of questions about his personal life, including: "How many kids are you going to have and when?"
