Sharing her experience during her hit show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, on Tuesday, March 23, Ellen with her usual candour told her audience that the situation was so bad that she found her wife Portia on the floor on all fours.

The TV host said that Portia had earlier assured her that she was fine, but she could not take her word for it because she saw the suffering her partner was going through.

Ellen told her audience that she could not just sit back and relax, especially after learning from Portia that she had not been doing quite fine as far as her health was concerned.

"I rush her to the ER and we are driving, and I'm worried about her, and I don't know what is wrong with her because, as you know, I grew up Christian Science. So my best guess was... a demon?" Ellen said.
