The former glamour model said that she was groped and held at gunpoint when the family stopped at the roadside because her son Junior, 14, needed the toilet.
She has since divulged to the Sun that her subsequent stay at The Priory rehab clinic was to treat her post traumatic stress disorder following the attack.
She said: ‘The reason I went there was because I got held at gunpoint and sexually assaulted.’

She continued: ‘It was like something from a horror film. This big man in an adidas hoody was shouting in my face, swearing and demanding I give him everything. And he was touching me down below.
‘I grabbed a pillow and launched myself in front of the kids, trying to protect them, waiting for a bullet to hit me. I thought I was going to die. Police said it was a miracle they didn’t kill us.’
Katie revealed that her daughter Princess, 12, will no longer go anywhere on her own hence why she bought Slade to make her feel safe.
Katie was with her children Harvey, Junior, and Princess at the time of the attack filming for her reality show on Quest Red.
All three were thrown out their vehicle by the attackers during their journey from Johannesburg to Swaziland in two people carriers.
Their vehicles were ransacked of laptops, iPads, passports, cash and jewellery – but the robbers left behind a fortune in camera gear which the crew had stored on board.
A source said at the time: ‘Katie was terrified and frantically worried for her little ones. This was a horrific ordeal… every mum’s worst nightmare.’
