Aniston also urged her fans to "stay connected" with their loved ones amidst the coronavirus pandemic.

She added: "Until then, keep Facetiming, calling, DMing, and texting your friends and family. We gotta stay connected"

Meanwhile, the health crisis has delayed filming of the reunion special, where the sitcom's stars reunite on the programme's soundstage for an unscripted reunion.

It was due to start filming this month but sources have confirmed that the special has been delayed, and shooting has been pushed back to May at the earliest, with it now likely to be even further ahead.

As part of the All In challenge, Leonardo DiCaprio has offered fans a chance to star in his upcoming movie.
