    Drew Barrymore has been filmed getting a mammogram in front of a studio audience as part of a special episode of her TV show

    The 49-year-old Hollywood actress had a scanning machine brought to the set of 'The Drew Barrymore Show' and she allowed cameras to capture her annual check-up with a team of medics for a special episode which is due to air in the US on Wednesday (09.10.24) as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month


    In a clip of the segment - which has been posted on Instagram - Drew is seen getting her scan and saying: "I've never done a mammogram in heels. This is, this is different ... I found it to also be a very nurturing experience."

    Drew was getting her mammogram alongside two fearful viewers named Dawn and Morgan, who asked her how it felt.

    The star replied: "It feels like if you took your two hands and you took the breast out and you just did that [squeezed]really hard for, what is it ... 10 seconds? That's it, 10 seconds."

    She was joined by her show's resident doctor Dr. Suzanne Gilberg-Lenz, who told the host: "Drew, thank you for doing this. This is amazing."

    It comes a year after Drew previously documented her mammogram experience on her show, urging her audience to get checked because a few seconds of discomfort could save their life.

    On her TV show, she said: "I do think that we all play a very negative mental tennis game in our head about our health. I don't know about you, but I self-diagnose all day long and the results are horrible, and that's not the way I should be doing it.

    "So I'm trying to take charge and figure this out and I want to take everyone on that journey with me because I'm totally imperfect. I'm just another human walking around with fear of getting bad news. But I know facing it is everything ... If it hurts, just know it's only a few seconds and can save your life."

    Drew added: "I'm gonna be 49, and having two kids has changed everything for me. It matters if I stick around, it matters what I do to myself. I'm way more accountable to myself than I ever have been."
