Piss Off, she was Guilty of Murder
In a new ITV Thriller.
[In her teens, Ellis had entered the world of
nightclub hostessing,
which led to a chaotic life that included
various relationships with men.
One of these men was Blakely, a racing driver
engaged to another woman.
On Easter Sunday, 10 April 1955,
Ellis shot Blakely dead outside
The Magdala public house in
Hampstead, London.
She was immediately arrested by
an off-duty policeman. At her trial in June 1955,
Ellis was found guilty of premeditated murder
and was sentenced to death;
on 13 July she was hanged at Holloway Prison.]

She was guilty all right. The trouble is that they've added oodles of glamour in a new drama where only the facts have been changed.
