Speaking on Ayda's Postcards From The Edge podcast, Robbie explained: "I got threatened to be beheaded in Haiti. We were going out there to help.
“When we were threatened to be beheaded, I was like, ‘Should we go to the next street then?’ and looking back, it was scary.”
Ayda backed his story, adding: “I was with you, I was being threatened to be beheaded as well!”

The trip didn't dampen Robbie's enthusiasm for his charity work though. Two years later he embarked on a trip to Mexico City to make a short film about children living in slums.
The revelation is the latest in a string of podcast chats the pop star has done in lockdown.
Just last week the Take That star told how he became "morbidly obese" when he used go shopping for food after getting high.
The singer, 46, was known for his partying ways back in the 90s and early noughties, but has since ditched the booze and drugs for a healthy lifestyle.

Teetotal Rob has said that back in the day he would load up on junk food when he was high, which ultimately saw his waistline expand.
The Angels hitmaker was reflecting on his life after quitting Take That in 1995.
Speaking in his At Home With The Williamses podcast, the star said he gained weight due to his drug use and developing a bad diet.
He said: “I rented a flat. I went to the supermarket on my first shop. Once. Stoned.

Robbie went on to say he found himself gaining weight as a result of his high calorie diet.
