Pink has discovered her three-year-old son has "pretty bad" food allergies when he was tested for coronavirus.

The 40-year-old singer and her son Jameson both tested positive for COVID-19 in March and during the testing process doctors discovered the youngster has numerous allergies.

Speaking in an Instagram video, Pink said: "My dear boy, Jame-o, has turned out (to have) pretty bad food allergies, which we were able to find out in some of the blood testing we had to do recently because of COVID."

The So What hitmaker shared a recipe for a vegan, gluten-free, cherry tart which she was making for Jameson as he is allergic to wheat, dairy and eggs and urged her followers not to be put off by the snack.

She said: "I know some of you out there are throwing up in your mouth.

"Trust me, they're delicious, and they might even be better than the real ones."

Two weeks ago my three-year old son, Jameson, and I are were showing symptoms of COVID-19. Fortunately, our primary care physician had access to tests and I tested positive. My family was already sheltering at home and we continued to do so for the last two weeks following the instruction of our doctor. Just a few days ago we were re-tested and are now thankfully negative. It is an absolute travesty and failure of our government to not make testing more widely accessible. This illness is serious and real. People need to know that the illness affects the young and old, healthy and unhealthy, rich and poor, and we must make testing free and more widely accessible to protect our children, our families, our friends and our communities. In an effort to support the healthcare professionals who are battling on the frontlines every day, I am donating $500,000 to the Temple University Hospital Emergency Fund in Philadelphia in honor of my mother, Judy Moore, who worked there for 18 years in the Cardiomyopathy and Heart Transplant Center. Additionally, I am donating $500,000 to the City of Los Angeles Mayor’s Emergency COVID-19 Crisis Fund. THANK YOU to all of our healthcare professionals and everyone in the world who are working so hard to protect our loved ones. You are our heroes! These next two weeks are crucial: please stay home. Please. Stay. Home.❤️

Pink recently opened up on both she and Jameson - her youngest son with husband Carey Hart - came down with the potentially fatal respiratory illness, which the pop star says left her struggling to breathe.

Explaining how Jameson fell ill first, Pink - who also has eight-year-old daughter Willow with Carey - said: "At a certain point around March 18, March 19, March 20, when his fever was staying and going up. I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't breathe."

Jameson then complained of "chest pain" and suffered from breathing difficulties, which Pink described as the "scariest thing" of her life.

She recalled: "That's the point where you are just kind of like, 'OK are we going to the hospital? Like what are we doing right now?' Because this is the scariest thing I've ever, ever been through in my whole life."

Pink's egg-free, gluten-free cherry tart recipe:

"Recipe for those who asked!" Pink wrote in the comments section of her post.

"Crust: vegan graham crackers, a box (minus the ones you eat while making it ) crush it up with some melted vegan butter, probably 2-3 or so tbs..... mash it all up and push it to bottom of pan. Bake 350 for 8 mins.

"For the filling: coconut milk yoghurt, 1 Tbs vanilla extract and about 1/3 to a 1/2 cup of brown shuga. Mix well. Let crust cool before putting in filling. Then add sliced fresh cherries on top, out it in the fridge for a while to set or if your kids are driving you crazy... slip it on the friggin plate and pour yourself some wine. Voila!"
