In reality, the photoshoot was fake and Ayling was kidnapped.<\/p>\n<p>The terrifying reality of Ayling\u2019s ordeal will be brought to the small screen by writer Georgia Lester (Killing Eve, Skins) and is based on research, extensive interviews, documented legal proceedings and Ayling\u2019s own book Kidnapped. The series is being made in cooperation with Ayling, with the first announcement for the series being made in April last year.<\/p>\n<p>Since then,\u00a0filming for the series has taken place in Italy and the UK with the series set to land on BBC Three and iPlayer later this year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-handler__container image-handler__container--full\" style=\"padding-bottom: calc(100% * (855
