The Australian actress detailed the horrific experience and told Ant: "There was one time in Africa where I got kidnapped. It was in rural Mozambique.

"We were on this cattle truck and these men came on another truck with a lot of guns. [They pulled up] with the big guns and they were like, 'Yeah, you've got to get off your truck.'"

The men took Rebel and some other women "to a house in the middle of nowhere," where she was held until the next day.

Fortunately, Rebel escaped physically unscathed.

Rebel admitted it had been a "rough week"

She added: "Luckily we weren't harmed and then, the next day, they came and said, ‘Your truck is ready now. You can go.'"

While she wasn’t hurt, the terrifying incident has clearly stuck with Rebel.

She also revealed to Ant her horrific experiences of sexual harassment in Hollywood at the hands of a male co-star and a director.

"I called my agent immediately and said this happened," Rebel said. "We made an official complaint to the studio. But I’m such a professional that I was like, well I’m still going to continue with the job. Which now I might not have."
