Nadia Parkes embodied glamour model Chloe Ayling while filming scenes for new BBC show Kidnapped, which reenacts the star’s shocking real-life abduction.
The actress, 27, donned a stylish grey bomber jacket and skin-tight leggings as she was walking around a shopping centre while filming scenes on Thursday for the upcoming six-part drama.
Nadia cut a casual figure in sporty trainers and a T-shirt while carrying several shopping bags.
Her blonde locks were styled up in a bun as she embodied Chloe, who was kidnapped at the age of 21 in 2017 in a six-day ordeal.
The model was lured to Milan by Polish national Lukasz Herba with the promise of modelling work, only to be drugged and kidnapped.

Nadia has previously starred in The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself and Domina and is now taking on the role of model Chloe.

Nadia said of her casting: ‘This is a timely and important story about how we perceive trauma in the media.’
While Chloe added: ‘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.’
Chloe was drugged and kidnapped in a six-day ordeal back in 2017 after being lured to Milan by Polish national Lukasz Herba with the promise of modelling work.

Plot: The BBC series, written by George Lester, brings the ordeal and court case to screen by drawing on legal documents, Chloe’s published diary and extensive interviews
After being injected with horse tranquilliser Ketamine and bundled into a suitcase at a Milan photo studio, she was taken to a farmhouse near Turin in northern Italy.
She was told she had been kidnapped by a group calling themselves Black Death, and that she would be sold as a sex slave in an online auction, at a starting price of €300,000 (£265,000).
In her diary, Chloe detailed how Herba told her he was an assassin working for the Black Death group but that he was on her side after finding out she had a child.
‘He talked about his assassinations so casually, like it was normal. That was what was so scary,’ she recalled. ‘He could have been telling me he stacked shelves in Tesco, the way he spoke about it.’
Calling himself MD, Herba stuck to his story that he was only the middleman assassin there to guard her before the online ‘slave auction’ and warned her that Black Death were watching them.
‘I was completely numb with fear. My life wasn’t in my hands. I just nodded,’ she wrote in her diary of her time in captivity.
She claimed it didn’t even cross her mind to think of an escape, even after he took her to a local shoe shop, because she believed Herba’s story and was too scared.

Chloe was finally released after six days in captivity, at the British consulate in Milan.
Herba was later jailed for 16 years and nine months for abducting the British model and ordered to pay £6,000 in damages to her.
Herba claimed during his Milan trial that she agreed to the scheme to boost her career.
Chloe has since appeared on reality TV show Celebrity Big Brother.
