Katie Price has opened up about her "scary" carjacking incident in South Africa which tormented her to the point of suicide.
The 44-year-old revealed the harrowing truth behind the ordeal, which happened when filming her show Katie Price: My Crazy Life in 2018.
She said she was raped at gunpoint and later "knocked herself out and gave herself two black eyes" in a desperate suicide attempt.
Luckily she was saved and now is speaking to promote her new show Katie Price: Trauma And Me, which airs tomorrow on Channel 4.
She said: "The experience when I was filming with ITV in South Africa we had no security, if we had security they would have helped when the six guys jumped out, held me at gunpoint and raped me."
Speaking about the incident at the time on My Crazy Life, Katie said: "The kids wanted a wee, that's why we pulled over. The next thing I know, I've got this guy at the window and his face was just mad.
"Junior and Princess were screaming and I'm going, 'Calm down, calm down'. The guy's going, 'Open the f***ing door.'
"Then one came from round the other way with a big stick trying to smash all the window; 'If you don't open it I'll f***ing kill you,' and I'm like, 'No, you're not going near my f***ing kids."
Katie added: "'Give's your purse,' that's all they kept saying and then just grabbing everything, trying to nick everything. The kids are going, 'Mum, mum what's going on, what's going on?'
"And they got these big sticks and started whacking them and I'm trying to calm the kids down saying, 'Kids it's fine,' and inside I'm thinking, 'F***ing hell, we're dead. We're actually dead,'
"And then they took the keys and then they went.
"It was the worst thing I've ever had to go through in my life, I thought I was going to die. Pretty f***ing shockingly scary."
The star said previously that while a lot of the documentary crew went home because they couldn't deal with what had happened, she carried on filming.
The police never caught the offenders.
However, when she got home, Katie said the life-changing event left her needing therapy for trauma.
In her candid and frank new documentary, the mum-of-five looks back on her darkest moment during her battle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after the 2018 rape.
She also talks about her ex-husbands (but refuses to name them directly) and the moments she looked at herself in the mirror before facing jail.
