The factual drama follows her terrifying kidnap, her bravery and resilience in captivity, and the subsequent court case that put her kidnappers in jail. Yet despite their convictions, Chloe faced headlines accusing her of faking her own kidnapping.
Kidnapped model Chloe Ayling has revealed she still faces claims she invented her ordeal, ahead of a new BBC drama which she hopes will finally satisfy her doubters.
She was lured to Italy by Polish brothers Lukasz and Michal Herba and with the promise of modelling work – only to be drugged and kidnapped.

'He wasn’t a model and he still got all that. Unless there’s concrete evidence like CCTV, victims are not believed,' Chloe added. His brother Michal was also jailed for 16 years, later reduced to five on appeal. He was freed in 2022. MailOnline previously reported it is unclear if the Herba brothers have been paid for the series, but strict editorial guideline prevents licence fee payers' money going to convicted criminals as it would be seen as profiteering from their illegal activities.
Speaking about the series ahead of its release, she said: 'I am excited that BBC Studios are telling my story and that the wider world will get to know the truth about what happened o me and learn of the many details that weren't brought to light originally.'
