Absolutely Fabulous star Joanna Lumley is safe and well after a terrifying encounter while filming a travel series in Haiti.
The 73-year-old star was held at gunpoint by a group of bandits while driving through a mountain range with her camera crew and two bodyguards, who sprung into action to protect Joanna.
“Suddenly, there was a blockage across the road. They’d put branches down,” she recalls.
“Luckily, we had two big bodyguards who got out and said: ‘Come on, guys, clear this away.’ And they went, ‘No, we want your money or your life.’
Sometimes they dig trenches, pour oil and fire into it, then come with guns and take your wallets.
