Doctor Who star transforms into kidnapped glamour model Chloe Ayling in first look at new BBC thriller

A DOCTOR Who star has transformed into Chloe Ayling for her new BBC thriller on her terrifying kidnapping.

The model and former Celebrity Big Brother star, 26, was snatched by a sex trafficking gang and held captive for six days in a remote Italian farmhouse.

Masked men kidnapped her after luring her to Milan with promises of a lucrative photoshoot which turned out to be fake.

BBC bosses are dramatising the horrific ordeal in a brand new BBC Three thriller called Kidnapped.

The broadcaster has revealed Nadia Parkes will play the model for the six-part series.

A first look image shows Nadia, 28, in the role as her character faces the press.

The show will tell Ayling's story based on her own book about the event.

It will also draw on detailed research, extensive interviews and documented legal proceedings.

Georgia Lester, who is best known for writing Channel 4's Skins and smash-hit show Killing Eve, has penned the series.

The Beeb has not yet revealed when the show will air but it's expected later this year.

Previously speaking about the show, Chloe told the Mirror: "I am excited that BBC Studios are telling my story and that the wider world will get to know the truth about what happened to me and learn of the many details that weren't brought to light originally.

"Georgia Lester and the team have been incredibly supportive in our conversations, and I couldn't be happier that they are making this series."
