Chloe Ayling broke down down as she recalled the moment she thought she was going to die at the hands of kidnappers.
Appearing on Monday's This Morning for her first live TV interview, the model, 20, couldn't hold back the tears as she was questioned about her harrowing and terrifying abduction by a gang of sex traffickers in Italy.
Speaking frankly and candidly about her abduction in Milan and her time in captivity, the glamour model admitted that at one point she'd been left hoping for a "non-painful death", before revealing that she would never "be the same person again".

Following a sceptical backlash against her version of events, following an initial outpouring of sympathy and anger at what had happened to her, Chloe sat down opposite Eamon Holmes and Ruth Langsford to set the record straight.
Going into the shocking details of her abduction from a supposed photo studio in Milan, Chloe said she walked into a "silent" room - something that unnerved her.
However, her abductors struck almost instantly, drugging her and restraining her in a bag in the boot of a car.

"Before I had the time to process my thoughts... that's when the masked man put his arm around me and my face," she explained, before clarifying there was a second disguised attacker who injected her with a drug.
Recalling her first terrifying moments after waking up, Chloe explained: "I woke up in the boot of a car in a zip up bag, handcuffed, gagged with tape over my mouth.
"It was horrible, I was still drugged up. I was trying to shout and find my way out. The car was moving and the radio was on. It took a while for them to pull over the car and check on me.

"It was when they pulled over that I saw they'd put an empty suitcase there next to me. Why would they put that there unless they were planning to kill me?"
Clearly still struggling with the ordeal, which took place three weeks ago, she burst into tears whilst saying: "I was just hoping for a non-painful death."
Addressing how the terrifying time has affected her life, Chloe admitted: "I’m still scared, I’m not the same person at home. I’m going to have a complete career change.
"I haven’t thought about the future, but I know I won’t be the same person again."
