Celebrity Katie Price has revealed that she was raped at gunpoint while filming in South Africa.

The former glamour model said she was with her children and a film crew when they were ambushed by a group of men as they drove from Johannesburg to Swaziland in two people carriers while filming her ITV reality series My Crazy Life.

Katie has since attempted to commit suicide due to her experiencing PTSD and struggling with her mental health following the incident in 2018.

She said she "knocked herself out and had black eyes" after the failed suicide attempt.

Speaking about the attack ahead of her Channel 4 documentary Katie Price: Trauma and Me, the mother-of-five 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 on Channel 4's SAS: Celebrity Who Dares Wins in 2020, she said: "Police said it was a miracle they didn't kill us."

In the new documentary, Katie reflected on her struggles with mental health and the specific situations that led to her downward spiral.

"After years of neglect, I suffered a mental breakdown in 2018. I was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder," she told the programme.

"I hit severe depression a couple of years ago, depression on top of PTSD, I was suicidal, didn't want to be here. I tried to kill myself."

"I knocked myself out and had black eyes. I had bruises around my neck. I woke up. I didn't want to be here."

Speaking about her drink-drive crash last year, she said: "I live in the countryside, I had no outlet, I needed to talk to someone and that night I let myself down.

"I am not justifying anything, there was a reason why I got in the car and why my head was like that.

"Unfortunately, I did get into that place. I would never get into that place again. It happened and it's real but I have learnt."
