British model Chloe Ayling has said she was willing to have sex with her kidnapper to stay alive as she blasts the doubters who thought her ordeal was a publicity stunt.

The 20-year-old was lured to Milan by Lukasz Herba, 30, who promised her modelling work before drugging and kidnapping her.

Herba was jailed for 16 years and nine months for abducting the British model and ordered to pay £6,000 in damages to Miss Ayling, earlier this month.

Speaking for the first time since her 30-year-old attacker was jailed in Italy, Chloe, now 21, told The Sun she is glad her ordeal was proven in court since she has been repeatedly accused of faking it.

She said: ‘It’s a huge relief because I feel like my life has been on hold.

‘It was six days of hell — and then I had to deal with all the disbelief once I got home. I feel happy now that everyone knows I was telling the truth.’

Miss Ayling, a mother-of-one from Coulsdon, South London, also bravely revealed she asked herself during her ordeal whether she would use sex to stay alive, eventually deciding if it came to it she would.

Miss Ayling, then 20, was pulled from a suitcase which Herba dumped outside the British consulate for officials to find

The model’s horrifying ordeal started in July 2017 when she arrived in Milan, after being lured there with the promise of modelling work.

But the photoshoot took a sinister turn when Miss Ayling was suddenly faced with a man with a syringe. She was then drugged with a horse tranquiliser called Ketamine and was taken to a remote house.

She said: ‘When I woke up I was so drugged. Slowly as I regained consciousness, I realised I was in the back of a car.

‘I had no idea why they were taking me. Everything went through my head — are they going to rape me? Are they going to kill me?’

Lukasz Herba was described as a 'fantasist' who claimed her was going to sell Miss Ayling online as a sex slave and said other girls had been 'fed to tigers' — Lukasz Herba was described as a ‘fantasist’ who claimed her was going to sell Miss Ayling online as a sex slave and said other girls had been ‘fed to tigers’

Chloe Ayling was convinced to travel to Milan after being promised work modelling but she was drugged and captured by a man who said he would sell her on the dark web

The men, led by Herba, said they were members of the Black Death group and were going to sell her on the dark web as a sex slave, but Chloe pleaded with them to keep her alive for her child’s sake.

Later, she was found inside a suitcase outside the British Consulate in Milan.

Italian police launched an investigation during which they discovered Chloe had been out shopping with her captor during the time she was being held.

She was seen with Herba, a Polish man who lived in Birmingham.
