The first look at a new six-part BBC series shows the terrifying moment glamour model Chloe Ayling was kidnapped.

In 2017, Chloe had been coaxed to Milan under the guise that she was taking part in a photoshoot, however, she was abducted by two individuals.

The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant was then held in a farmhouse near Turin with an amount of €300,000 (£265,000) ransom was being demanded to the UK.

However, she was later released six days later at the British consulate in Milan and went on to tell her story in her tell-all book, Kidnapped - The Untold Story Of My Abduction.

Lukasz Herba was found guilty of abduction and and trying to secure a ransom over the dark web for Chloe's release by an Italian court and was sentenced to 16 years and nine months in jail.

His brother, Michal Herba was also sentenced to 16 years and eight months in jail.

Both brother's sentences were reduced to 12 years and 5 months, as reported by Digital Spy.

Chloe's experience is the focus of the BBC show, called Kidnapped: The Chloe Ayling Story, which will be premiering on 14 August on BBC Three.

You can watch the trailer here:

In a preview clip, you can see the moment she was drugged and kidnapped before being transferred to the remote farmhouse, where she was told that she would be auctioning her off as a sex slave.

Chloe will be played by Nadia Parkes, while other cast members include Adrian Edmondson and Nigel Lindsay.

According to the BBC, the show, written by Killing Eve's Georgia Lester, will 'tell Chloe’s personal story in full for the first time, going behind the headlines to shine a light on the emotional truth'.

"Why Chloe was blamed for her kidnappers' crimes? How do we relate to survivors of crime who make the front pages?" they continue to say.

"And how does it feel to be an ordinary person, caught up in events so extraordinary that you aren't believed?"

Filming took place in Italy and the UK, and Chloe also cooperated with the series.

She shared the trailer on her Instagram, writing: "My six-episode drama series premiers on Wednesday 14th August on @bbcthree @bbciplayer."

She'd previously told The Mirror that she was 'excited' that BBC Studios were 'telling her 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'.

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

All episodes will be available on BBC iPlayer.
