Hayden Panettiere had a bikini wax during a phone interview.

The 24-year-old star had a pre-interview with one of the producers on the 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' while she was having intimate body hair removed, but because of the pain of the treatment she was unable to have a normal conversation without screaming.

Talking to Ellen on the show - which aired yesterday (26.11.13) - she revealed: ''Uh, ya, well I was multitasking. I was getting ready to go. My assistant just had a baby so I'm ... this was multi-tasking on different level.

''I was on the phone, he's like 'how's the show?' I said it's great, it's amazing [screams]. 'You really like playing your character?' I love her so much [screams]. I said finally, 'I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I have to be honest with you I'm getting a bikini wax right now.' ''

The blonde beauty found it difficult to talk on the phone while getting waxed and eventually decided to reschedule the call.

Hayden explained: ''[I said] 'I thought I can do this but I can't. Can you call me back in 10 minutes?' He's like, 'I've heard a lot of things before, but that's a first.' ''
