It was the scandal that helped to bring down Harold Macmillan’s Conservative government in 1963.

And Sophie Cookson was seen for the first time in the role of party girl Christine Keeler on Tuesday, for BBC's new drama The Trial Of Christine Keeler.

The Kingsman: Secret Service star, 28, got to work on set in Bristol, where she filmed intense scenes that saw her get pulled away from a media scrum outside Bristol Crown Court.

The six-part series will explore 19-year-old Keeler’s role in the scandal, which later became known as the Profumo Affair. 

In 1961, Keeler had a brief fling with John Profumo, the Secretary of State for War, who was married to film actress Valerie Hobson.

Profumo denied the affair in Parliament, but to further complicate matters, Keeler had also been seeing Soviet Navy Attache Yevgeny Ivanov.

Scandalous: In 1961, Keeler had a brief fling with John Profumo, the Secretary of State for War, who was married to film actress Valerie Hobson

The ensuing scandal hurled the young model and her friend, Mandy Rice-Davies, into the public spotlight, and ruined many of those caught up in it.

Stephen Ward, the society osteopath who introduced Keeler to his friends in high places, committed suicide during his 1963 trial for living off immoral earnings.  

The model, who died last December, once told the Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye that the events she was involved in back in the early Sixties ‘stole [her] life’.

Her son, Seymour Platt, echoed this point, as he noted to Bamigboye that his mother ‘earned her place in British history, but at a huge personal price’. 

Shock: Profumo denied the affair in Parliament, but to further complicate matters, Keeler had also been seeing Soviet Navy Attache Yevgeny Ivanov

In the process: When she arrived on set, Sophie wore warm jogging bottoms and UGG boots

Practice round: While preparing the scene, Sophie kept a fluffy water bottle in her hands so she could keep off the winter chill

Other actors set to appear in the BBC drama include Ellie Bamber as Rice-Davies, Emilia Fox as Valerie Profumo, and James Norton as Ward.

Amanda Coe wrote the script, and in a statement last year she said the Profumo case ‘is the Salem witch trial meets O.J Simpson’, calling it ‘a perfect storm of gender, class, race and power’ that resonated still. 

While production is well-and-truly underway, the BBC have yet to set a release date for the drama. 

Emotional: The model, who died last December, once told the Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye that the events she was involved in back in the early Sixties ‘stole [her] life’

Huge change: Her son, Seymour Platt, echoed this point, as he noted to Bamigboye that his mother ‘earned her place in British history, but at a huge personal price’.

Co-star: Sam Troughton was seen on set getting his hair and make-up prepped before he had to film alongside Sophie

The Kingsman: Secret Service star, 28, go...

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
