Her kidnapper Lukasz Herba was convicted in an Italian court last month and sentenced to 16 years behind bars, as Chloe battled night terrors.
She told Phil and Holly on This Morning today: “For the first few months after I got back I wasn’t sleeping well because I was paranoid something would happen at night and I still wasn’t 100 per cent convinced there wasn't a bigger organisation involved.
“So, I would stay up all night while my mum slept and then we’d take it in turns because I was that frightened something would happen.
“Gradually I’ve started to travel more and come out of my shell a bit more and I thought that talking about it helps me instead of shutting myself away at home."

Asked if she could ever consider forgiving Herba she replied: “No never. I was sympathetic at first when I thought he was the guy that saved me but as soon as I heard those details I was just so angry.”
She also hinted her ordeal is to be turned into a series on Netflix after Phil claimed the streaming giant was interested in her story, saying: “It's a possibility. I would like it to be visualised.
“I'm a visual learner and can understand it better."
She said she hoped Herba would have been banged up for longer, saying: “I remember my initial reaction when I read that it was 16 years was, ‘Is that it?’

She said: “The main reason I wrote it I feel like my voice wasn’t heard for the last year as straight away people thought I was lying and not being truthful.
“So, me being able to say it now means people will hopefully be able to understand that I was telling the truth.”
She added that she is now much more selective about her professional commitments, saying: “I won’t work with new people.”
