Drew bit his finger and jokingly asked Martha:

Drew Barrymore is known for her hands-on approach while interviewing guests on The Drew Barrymore Show, but the actress’ infectious on-screen energy sometimes leaves her guests visibly uncomfortable.

After drawing attention following her hands-on interview with Martha Stewart, 84, this week, viewers couldn’t help but feel some secondhand embarrassment for the talk show host.

The interview went a little off topic when Barrymore, 49, bit her finger and jokingly asked Martha, “What makes you soft and sticky?” The question, and Barrymore’s subsequent attempt to fondle Stewart, led the cookbook author to playfully shove the host.

From her reaction to her interview with Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris to her awkward and delicate chats on her infamous couch, the actress always makes an impact when chatting with her celebrity colleagues.

Here, FEMAIL recalls some of the embarrassing moments from the actress’s talk show.

Martha Stewart

The cook was a guest on an episode of The Drew Barrymore Show this week, which set out to celebrate her legacy and pay tribute to the famous cook as the “original” influencer.

However, the interview went a little off topic when Drew, 49, bit his finger and jokingly asked Martha, “What makes you soft and sticky?”

In the end, Martha responded, “Soft and sticky treatment.”

‘A soft, sticky treatment?’ Repeated Drew, a mother of two, as she proceeded to begin caressing her guest’s arm. —When they treat you like a lady?

“It’s nice,” Martha confirmed.

‘When someone walks in…’ Drew continued, but before she could complete her sentence, Martha rejected her as she said, ‘you’re the wrong gender!’

“I know, I know,” the ET actress relented as she plopped down dramatically on the couch.

“Though, the way things are going with men, Martha, I’m not so sure anymore.”

However, the awkward moment soon ended when one of Drew’s dogs approached the couch, creating a nice distraction.

Dua Lipa

In May, Dua Lipa, 29, and the talk show host lost their balance and nearly fell on stage while hugging in front of hundreds of fans while filming an interview for The Drew Barrymore Show.

The duo were equally in awe of each other, as they fawned over each other and their new collective nickname ‘Drua’, prompting them to scream and stumble backwards.

‘We shared something in the bathroom in the ’90s. What was it? Barrymore asked, before giving the options of lipstick, toilet paper, or a kiss.

‘It was the ’90s!’ Sevigny said, laughing.

The Charlie’s Angels star added: ‘It was the ’90s. It was a kiss. We were very free and we had the best time and it was the sexiest, the cutest, the most (meow).’

Chris Hemsworth

Barrymore is no stranger to bragging to her own guests, and remembers the first time she almost met Australian actor Chris Hemsworth, 41, when she appeared on his show.

Hemsworth left the mother-of-two blushing after revealing he saw her at a hair salon during a very awkward encounter.

The two were getting their hair done in the same location in Los Angeles a decade ago, but Barrymore admitted she was too caught up in the stars to show up.

‘I really wanted to be respectful. I was scared the whole time!’ she remembered.

‘I’m also very enthusiastic about people. For three weeks, ever since we found out you were coming to this show, we said, ‘Chris Hemsworth is coming to the show.’ “I’ll never lose sight of how incredible that is,” the He’s Just Not That Into You actress admitted.

The Australian actor appeared this week on Drew Barrymore's show for the first time and the American actress was quick to remember that they had almost met before.

In April, Barrymore drew attention after completely covering the former Eagles center in flowers after greeting him backstage at WrestleMania in Philadelphia.

Actress Kelce and her former tag team partner Lane Johnson were celebrity guests at WWE’s two-night celebration running through April 6-7 at Lincoln Financial Field.

After the event, a video surfaced of Barrymore, in character from Flower Power, meeting Kelce and Johnson backstage. She presented Kelce with a gold replica of the WWE belt before covering it in flowers.

“I’m Flower Power,” she said as she walked into the room. Kelce played along with the character and said, “You look amazing.”

“Thank you very much,” Barrymore responded. ‘Flower Power wanted to dress up to present you this (belt) that has been everywhere. It was in the Super Bowl, but it has to get to you, Jason and Lane, and back to Philadelphia.

‘I love this, Flower Power, thank you for handing out the gold belt for WrestleMania,’ Kelce exclaimed before they broke character. Barrymore was the first to break when she introduced herself and gushed about the former Eagle and veteran offensive tackle.

Knowing the show had to go on, the Happy Days star sprang into action and asked the audience, “So, thank you for being here.” It is a great pleasure. So while we wait, is there anything you’d like to know?
