Carrie's new on-screen portrayal
Carrie is set for a new on-screen portrayal in ITV's upcoming true crime drama Believe Me, starring Aimée-Ffion Edwards (Slow Horses), Miriam Petche (Industry), Aasiya Shah (Raised by Wolves, Bloods, The Beast Must Die) and Daniel Mays (Des).
The four-parter charts the real-life story of John Worboys, a taxi-cab driver who was convicted for multiple crimes, including sexual assault and drugging with intent against 12 women between 2006 and 2008.
Carrie, who became one of John's targets when she was 19 years old and later launched a judicial review into the case's handling, is portrayed by Miriam.

"The treatment of the victims in this case was truly shameful. Reform matters but what we urgently need above all is a profound shift in culture.
"It takes enormous courage for women to come forward. They must know that when they do, they will be treated seriously and with respect, and that every effort will be made to ensure justice is done."
