Rebel Wilson has discussed the time she was kidnapped and held at gunpoint. The 40-year-old actress said the pertifying incident happened in Mozambique, Africa when she was with a group of other women. 'There was one time in Africa where I got kidnapped. It was in rural Mozambique,' the actress said, speaking to SAS Who Dares Wins' Ant Middleton for an episode of Straight Talking which will air on Sky1 tomorrow night (as reported by The Sun).

Rebel continued: 'We were on this cattle truck and these men came on another truck with a lot of guns. [They pulled up beside us] with the big guns and they were like, "Yeah, you've got to get off your truck". They took us to a house in the middle of nowhere. I felt like I was very good in the crisis. I was like a team leader. They sat us down, and I said, "Everybody link arms," because I was petrified in the night that they might want to take one of the girls or something.'

Thankfully, nobody was hurt, and the group was released the next morning, with Rebel saying she was convinced illegal substances had been placed into their truck to smuggle over the border. 'We just got back on that truck and got out of there and crossed the South African border a few hours later,' she added. 'I think maybe those guys, maybe, used us to smuggle illegal things in the bottom of the truck.'

Clearly shocked by the story, Ant replied, 'I was expecting you to say, "Yeah I came face to face with a snake or a spider," and then you tell me you got kidnapped at gunpoint. You need to do a hardcore action movie.'

Ant Middleton & Rebel Wilson: Straight Talking airs on Thursday at 9pm on Sky One and streaming service NOW TV.
