Where is Chloe Ayling now? Subject of BBC Three’s Kidnapped

As a seasoned cinema enthusiast who’s seen more than a few lifetimes worth of films, both fictional and based on real events, I must say that the story of Chloe Ayling is one that truly captivates my interest. The line between reality and drama often blurs in such tales, but this BBC Three factual drama series, Kidnapped: The Chloe Ayling Story, promises to keep things authentic, thanks to its collaboration with Ayling herself and its reliance on her book, Kidnapped.

Quite frequently, it’s unnecessary to create dramatic shows based on fiction when there’s an abundance of intriguing real-life crime stories available, making scripted dramas less appealing.

That’s the case with the intriguing real story of Chloe Ayling, who is at the centre of a brand new BBC Three factual drama series.

The film “Kidnapped: The Chloe Ayling Story” is centered around the authentic account of Chloe Ayling’s abduction in Italy during 2017. She went to Italy believing it was for a photography session, but instead found herself kidnapped.

The upcoming six-part series, penned by Georgia Lester from Killing Eve, was developed using extensive research, interviews, authentic court records, and the memoir of its subject, Kidnapped, written by the person herself.

As a movie buff delving into this gripping tale of abduction, I can’t help but ponder about the fate of Ayling – a central figure in this dramatic unfolding. If you’re curious too, join me as we unravel the mystery behind her disappearance.

Collaborative Production – “Kidnapped: The Chloe Ayling Chronicles” Derives from Chloe Ayling’s Personal Account and Her Book, “Kidnapped”

Prior to the airing of the series, Ayling was interviewed by BBC Breakfast, and when asked about her well-being seven years after the kidnapping, she responded: “I’m doing well personally. I’m content, I’ve progressed. I’m glad that the production is happening because, as you noted, even after seven years, there’s still debate. The drama being made is a positive step in addressing these ongoing discussions.”

Back then, my perspective often seemed to go unnoticed, drowned out by a wave of negativity that focused more on my appearance, the way I expressed myself, or perhaps my lack of overt emotion.

“It’s great that the information can be presented in a clear, visual manner, making it easier for people to grasp the intricacies of a complicated narrative.”

As a 20-year-old film lover looking back on my life’s events, I recall that I embarked on my modeling career at the tender age of 18. Hailing from the bustling city of Croydon, London, I found myself expecting a child during my college years.

Chloe Ayling, the model who shared her story on #BBCBreakfast, expressed that despite it being seven years since her kidnapping at a false photoshoot in Milan, she continues to be labeled as untruthful. As a dramatized version of her experience airs on the BBC, it seems her voice still hasn’t been fully recognized or acknowledged.

In a surprising turn of events, she landed a job for a photoshoot in Milan, orchestrated by Lukasz Herba, who later turned out to be her captor. After spending six long days in captivity, she was eventually released. However, her release was followed by intense scrutiny from the media due to her appearance and certain disclosed details.

For instance, Footage from a security camera showed Ayling holding Herba’s hand during their shopping trip for shoes. Later, she faced intense questioning from Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain after the incident.

Currently, Ayling holds the status of a public figure with an impressive social media presence. On Instagram alone, she has amassed more than 200,000 followers. Continuously updating both her Instagram and OnlyFans platforms, she continues her modeling career by sharing regular content.

Previously, Ayling had a stint on Celebrity Big Brother back in 2018. Since then, speculation surrounding her case has grown among the media, particularly following the publication of her book.

The upcoming drama, featuring Nadia Parkes (known for “The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself”), as Ayling, aims to redirect focus from speculations and accusations, offering a portrayal of real events that transpired to clarify any lingering questions about Ayling’s experience. This narrative is intended to dispel any remaining doubts about the authenticity of her encounters.

In conversation with The Times, Ayling expressed, “Viewing the series brought goosebumps as it’s incredibly reassuring. The public will be presented with every piece of evidence against the Herbas, meticulously arranged, without any prejudice.”

During that period, all attention was centered on me, while there seemed to be little concern for the shifting narratives of the brothers, which kept contradicting each other rapidly.

As a passionate cinephile, I’m thrilled to share that the gripping series “Kidnapped” will make its premiere on BBC Three this coming Wednesday, August 14th, at 9pm. If you can’t wait for the live telecast, fret not! All episodes will be available for streaming on BBC iPlayer from a mere 6am on the same day. So, mark your calendars and get ready for an unforgettable cinematic experience!
