Iovane and Clemens were on a dream vacation to Papua New Guinea. The pair was already aware of how infamous the tribesmen were for causing violence and sexual assaults to tourists but never really thought that they would live through the horror themselves.

Iovane, who starred in British television show Shipwrecked, was backpacking with Clemens through the Kokoda Track when tribesmen leaped out of the bushes armed with machetes.

In an interview with The Sun, he recalls the terrifying ordeal, “They both had machetes with huge blades and one had a long wooden spear with a crude arrowhead and they were gruntingI thought we were being robbed, so we put down our bags and tried to calm them, saying they could take everything when they started pushing and threatening us.”
