However, things took an unexpected turn when the driver suddenly pulled over by the roadside and stepped out the vehicle. 

The incident appeared to bring back painful memories for Princess, reminding her of the terrifying carjacking she experienced with her brother and their mother,Katie Price, in South Africa in 2018. 

During the horrifying ordeal, six armed men reportedly held at the family at gunpoint before sexually assaulting Katie, leaving her children frightened as they witnessed the terrifying incident.

In the latest episode of the BBC competition show, Princess began to panic before Junior tried to calm her down.

Princess explained: ‘I don’t know, I think it’s the quick movements, getting out of the car, walking around in the dark, coz that’s what happened to us in the hijack.’

Junior acknowledged that it was ‘post-traumatic stress’ before Princess spoke to the camera to recall the horrific event.

She said: ‘I was actually 10 at the time, Junior was 12 and we stopped off at a petrol station and two minutes later there was six guys on our car.

‘They had a baseball bat and they just start hitting the windows trying to smash them open, and I remember my mum was sat there with a pillow like this [up in front of her at window] waiting for it to break.

‘They were like ‘give me your kids, give me your kids or we’ll shoot you’. Me and Junior were in the back seat and we were bawling our eyes out.

‘Honestly, I actually did think I was going to die. I can literally still picture it all, like it happened yesterday.’

The taxi then set back off again, with Princess telling Junior that it was ‘just really, really traumatic.’

Elsewhere in the episode, Junior gave Princess a hug as he opened up about how the event affected him.
