The 2004 Olympic silver medallist was targeted as he and his wife left the Sahara Grill restaurant in Leyton in east London last year. His watch has never been recovered.
Mr Khan, who has been confirmed for the upcoming I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! all-stars ITV series in South Africa, told the Sun on Sunday:"It was the first time I've ever seen a gun in my life. I could see down the barrel.She told the paper she"thought we were going to die on the spot".
On Friday, Ismail Mohamed, 24, of Edmonton, and Nurul Amin, 25, of Harringay, both in north London, were unanimously acquitted by a jury of conspiracy to rob Mr Khan. Prosecutors had claimed Mohamed and Amin acted as"spotters", dining in the restaurant to keep track of Mr Khan's movements and relay them by phone to Bana.Mr Khan said people told him he should have put up a fight for the watch."When you have kids, you have a priority to make sure they are looked after. I am the breadwinner for the family. If I was with the kids, I don't know what I would've done. Maybe I would have panicked and tried to run.
The couple said the incident forced them to get their affairs in order, sorting out wills and setting up a trust for their children.Mr Khan, who returns to the country one week a month, pays £600 a day for security. "I love England," he said."I won a medal for the country but I stay in Dubai now because it's the only place I feel safe.
