Barrymore's Whip It injury

Drew Barrymore was left in agony on the set of Whip It - after a scene with Juliette Lewis turned nasty.

The actress donned her skates alongside Lewis and Ellen Page for the roller derby film, which also marked her directorial debut.

But the 34 year old ended up nursing a painful leg injury when she took a nasty tumble.

She tells Empire magazine, "In one scene I wrestle Juliette Lewis. Her skate and both our body weights were on my thigh, so I ended up with a bruise a foot long and a foot wide. There's nothing hotter than a girl fight."
