A model who starred in the German version of Celebrity Big Brother has revealed she was 'scared for her life' after being bitten by two monkeys.
Emmy Russ, 24, is currently on holiday in Thailand, where the double primate attack took place.
The German model, who has a Russian mother and currently lives in Spain, was enjoying a boat trip around the Phi Phi Islands when the wildlife struck.
During a visit to Monkey Beach, Emmy was bitten by two primates. In the clip, shared to her Instagram page, she can be seen petting a baby monkey on the ground before it clings to her arm and apparently sinks its teeth into her skin.
At the same time, an adult primate, apparently the baby's mother, runs up to the model and bites her knee.
