Oprah Winfrey is teaming up with Halle Berry and Naomi Watts for a television special about the menopause.

The 71-year-old TV icon has announced 'An Oprah Winfrey Special: The Menopause Revolution', which is coming to ABC on March 31 before it arrives on Disney+ and Hulu the following day.

She said in a statement: "When I was around 48 years old, I thought I was dying and went from doctor to doctor trying to understand why my heart was racing, and did not receive any answers until I picked up a book and read how heart palpitations can be a symptom indicating a change is coming to your body.

"This show starts the revolution of answers for millions of women throughout this country.

"We discuss what you need to know to best advocate for yourself when it comes to mental health, sleep, weight, sex, and your brain so we can ultimately see how freeing menopause can be in your life, with the best yet to come.”

The programme will also feature experts discussing the physical and neurological changes women experiences, as well as appearances from celebrity advocates like Naomi Watts, Halle Berry and Maria Shriver.

Author and OB-GYN Doctor Mary Claire Have and comedian Leanne Morgan are also part of the lineup, along with a selection of everyday women who have been affected by the issues.
