Ellen DeGeneres' wife Portia de Rossi is reportedly 'doing well' after being rushed to hospital with appendicitis on Friday evening.

According to her representative, the 48-year-old actress was rushed to hospital but is now recovering and at home with Ellen and is 'doing well'.

When Ellen took Portia to the hospital she was in a lot of pain. She reportedly required emergency surgery for appendicitis.

Those who suffer from appendicitis - which occurs when there is a painful inflammation of the appendix - usually need surgery to remove the appendix as soon as possible to ensure the appendix does not burst.

Ellen, who contracted Covid-19 in December 2020, is currently looking after her wife at their home. Portia de Rossi is reportedly recovering well.
