BBC presenter Emma Barnett ‘cannot remember a single thing’ about broadcast due to endometriosis pain: ‘It’s a living death’

BBC presenter Emma Barnett has opened up about her “horrific” experience with endometriosis – revealing that she can’t “remember a single thing” about a radio broadcast after being hit with intense pain.

The Today host, 41, revealed in 2024 that she had been diagnosed with endometriosis, a condition where cells that are similar to those in the lining of the womb grow in other parts of the body. It can cause severe period pains, heavy periods and in some cases, low moods, pelvic pain and fatigue.
