Pink has admitted the "worst day" of her life involved being attacked by bugs in Australia.

The 38-year-old singer has said that she was once so traumatised that she was driven to tears after being hounded by insects during a motorcycle road trip from Cairns to Brisbane in Australia with her husband Carey Hart back in 2009.

Recalling the incident, the What About Us singer said: "Oh god, there were so many bugs that I was crying while I was riding. And there were all the signs which say watch out for wallabies and kangaroos everywhere, so I was just waiting to be taken out by a kangaroo while eating the most protein I have had in my life."

The ordeal was so horrific for the star - who has six-year-old daughter Willow and nine-month-old son Jameson with her spouse - that she even pulled over on the highway and forced her husband to call someone who could pick them up.

She added to Australia's Daily Telegraph newspaper: "I told him 'This is the worst day of my life, I'm not going any further.' And he's like 'You can't stay here. It's only 88km to the next gas station, we'll call a hotel and get them come and get us.' I was like 'I quit, I'm done, I would rather die.'"

Meanwhile, the So What singer recently joked she sometimes wants to "stab" the retired motocross star when he is annoying her, but admits the key to making their marriage - which has seen them take two breaks from one another - work is to just "laugh as much as possible".

She said: "I just try to laugh as much as possible. And we go through moments where honestly I look at him and I think, 'I've never liked you at all, there's nothing I like about you, I've never liked you, I'll never like you again'. And then five minutes later I'm like, 'You look really good in those jeans'.

"And then two days later he's helping me off the ledge and telling me things that only he could tell me because he's known me that long. And then the next day I want to stab him with a fork. So yeah."
