Ellen has landed in true Degeneres style. The talk show host greeted fans this morning with a groove, dancing through the international terminal of Sydney’s Kingsford Smith Airport.
The well-awaited arrival of the 55 year-old TV star caused a commotion at 9 20am to say the least as she waded through hundreds of screaming fans with her wife, Portia and mother, Betty.
Some fans sang, many screamed, others cried and one fainted but the crowd didn’t seem to bother the talk-show host as she stopped to speak to the Australian public and reporters.
“I would kiss the ground but I have bronchitis and I don’t want to give Australia Bronchitis”, Ellen told Mornings reporter Chris Urquhart.
Ellen’s illness has delayed her arrival this week but it she’s down under now and tweeting about it.
The talk-show host has already upside-downly tweeted “I made it to Australia!”
Ellen and her team have reportedly checked in to the penthouse of the Sydney Intercontinental Hotel.
In a print exclusive with The Weekly in February, Ellen told us how much she was looking forward to visiting Australia.
