Broadcaster Emma Barnett has revealed the extreme pain caused by endometriosis, describing it as 'like having a drill inside my stomach that is going down into my organs.' In a new documentary airing on BBC Two at 9pm, she documents living with the debilitating lifelong condition, which affects one in ten women but remains poorly understood due to the gender health gap.
Barnett is candid about her own experience and speaks with other women suffering from the disease, as they collectively demand more medical support and research. The documentary aims to raise awareness and help other sufferers feel less alone.
Elsewhere on television tonight, Springwatch returns to BBC Two at 8pm with Chris Packham and Michaela Strachan exploring the wildlife at Crom estate in Northern Ireland and Knepp estate in West Sussex. Other highlights include Natalie Cassidy training to become a carer on BBC One at 2pm, and a narrowboat journey with Robbie Cumming on U&Yesterday at 7pm.
