Taking to TikTok to share her discovery, the talk show host was brought to tears as she removed the building material and shared a philosophical outlook on her find.
Speaking to her followers, Drew began: "So the people who owned this apartment before me, um, covered up a window.
"I don't know why. And I was like, 'I know there's a window, I know there's a window'. And guess what? There's a window, and we're about to reveal it."
At one point, the Charlie’s Angels star began howling with excitement after her contractors confirmed her suspicions about the hidden window.

As the discovery sunk in, the Never Been Kissed actress began to cry as she said: "It's so hopeful. It's like something can be so covered up and dark, you pry it open, and create light."
Although many of her TikTok followers were thrilled on her behalf about the discovery, others on Twitter, where the video has been shared widely, were left bemused by her emotional reaction.
One questioned on Twitter: "But wouldn't she know there was a window from looking from the outside?"
