Kidnapped: The Chloe Ayling Story is a six-part series written by Killing Eve's Georgia Lester which is based on in-depth research, interviews, documented legal proceedings and Ayling's own book, Kidnapped. The drama explores the events of the kidnapping, as well as the media storm afterwards, with Ayling's story being brought into question.
Here's all you need to know about what happened to Chloe Ayling. What happened to Chloe Ayling? Ayling was 20 years old at the time of her kidnapping and began modelling when she was 18, as reported by the Radio Times. She was lured from London to Milan on the promise of a photo shoot by Lukasz Herba, who drugged her and took her to a remote farmhouse in a holdall bag.
Herba said she would be sold online if she could not provide a $300,000 (approximately £230,000) ransom fee, BBC News reports. Six days after the kidnapping Herba released Ayling to the British consulate in Milan. When Ayling returned to the UK she came under fire as she was accused of posing for the cameras and smiling.
