The former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here star had travelled to South Korea to appear in what she believed was a beauty pageant.
Amy, who was 18 at the time- was invited to the pageant through Facebook to compete at the last minute.
An excited Amy jumped at the chance to take part, and caught the first flight to appear in the Miss Asia Pacific World Show.
She explained to the Mail Online: “I ended up flying over to a pageant that wasn't what it claimed to be. I was sexually assaulted out there.

“There was one occasion where a pageant organiser knocked on my door and tried to pull my top down. That was the worst thing that physically happened to me.”
She added: “I was aware of some scandalous incidents where girls were told that if they met certain judges for sex they would win. I was the only girl who stood up and said I would not be part of this.
“This is a traumatising situation that I've tried to put out there in an educational format. I want to teach young girls to be more careful when they're hoping to become models. It can be dangerous if you don't do your research, and I didn't on this occasion.”
Amy, 24, spoke out about her ordeal in response to an article by the Daily Star, which claimed that the beauty queen had been lured to South Korea in order to be sold into the sex trade by traffickers.
She soon tweeted her followers: “The story in @dailystaruk has overstepped my boundaries. It is sick to twist a story this way.”
