FIRST LOOK at Lucy Boynton as she transforms into Ruth Ellis - the last woman in the UK to hang - in intoxicating new ITV drama


The ITV drama tells the gripping story of a nightclub manageress who was hanged at the age of 28 after shooting her abusive lover David Blakely dead.

An exclusive image shows Lucy embody Ellis's elegance, as she sports bright blonde finger wave locks exposing bling earrings and casually holds a lit cigarette. In October, brandishing a .38 calibre Smith & Wesson revolver, Lucy recreated one of the most iconic crime scenes in British history when she stars as the last woman to be sent to the gallows. These photographs of Lucy and Laurie were taken outside the Magdala pub in North London – where Ellis fired five shots at Blakely, with one bullet ricocheting off the pavement and injuring a passer-by.
