Carrie Johnson is set to be portrayed in an upcoming crime drama.
The wife of former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, 36, is set to be played by actress Miriam Petche in a series about serial rapist John Worboys, nearly two decades after she was spiked in his London taxi.
The programme will document the harrowing incident which happened in 2007 when she was just 19 years old. Speaking about the forthcoming drama titled Believe Me, Carrie said she hopes it "serves as a wake-up call" to the "police, the CPS and the parole board."

"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."
Carrie was one of nearly 100 women who came forward to the police and one of 14 who was selected to go to court to testify, deciding to waive her anonymity.
The four-part series tells the true story surrounding John Worboys, dubbed the 'black cab rapist' after preying on women under the cover of being a licensed taxi-cab driver.
He was convicted in 2009 for crimes including sexual assault and drugging with intent against 12 women between 2006 and 2008, with their cases selected from a large number of suspected further victims. Line of Duty star Daniel Mays will take on the role of John Worboys.

Sarah, whose identity has been protected, said in a statement: "Believe Me is about the courage of every woman who came forward to help put John Worboys behind bars. What happened to me changed my life, but in many ways, the hardest part was not being believed for so many years.
"Without the people who stood by me, Worboys would have been freed and continued to pose a huge risk to women. Seeking justice shouldn’t mean more trauma. We shouldn’t have to fight to be believed or feel like we’re the ones on trial. The shame never belongs to the survivor."
