📢 **This Sunday at 7 PM: Christine Keeler – A Life of Glamour, Scandal, and Intrigue!**  

Step back into the 1960s with **History Roadshow** as we explore the fascinating and controversial life of Christine Keeler, the English model and showgirl who became a central figure in one of Britain’s biggest political scandals. 💃✨  

Introduced to high society by osteopath Stephen Ward, Christine’s connections to John Profumo, a married Cabinet minister, and Yevgeny Ivanov, a Soviet naval attaché, during the Cold War set the stage for a shocking chain of events. 🕵️‍♀️💔  

When a shooting involving another lover sparked media attention, it unraveled a web of secrets that led to Profumo’s downfall, the collapse of Harold Macmillan’s government, and the exposure of cracks within the British elite. 🇬🇧⚖️  

Despite her charm and resilience, Christine faced harsh public scrutiny and was unfairly labeled, while Ward was controversially scapegoated to protect the establishment. Their story marked a turning point in British politics and reshaped societal attitudes forever. 🕰️  

Set your reminders and join me this Sunday at 7 PM for a scandalous and gripping look back at this iconic moment in history. You won’t want to miss it! 🎥👀 
 
See you then,
