It comes after Christine Keeler’s son recently praised Sophie’s portrayal of his mother in the BBC series and said he would like people to remember her ‘more fondly’.
Sophie looks the spitting image of brunette beauty Miss Keeler, who is shown as her young life spiralled out of control after her affair with Secretary of State for War John Profumo was thrust into the spotlight.
Despite the sensitive topic, Seymour Platt said he was satisfied with the BBC’s treatment, telling Good Morning Britain: ‘I think its fair. I think she is really good at playing my mum. There have been times where I have seen my mum in her.’
The BBC1 drama, The Trial of Christine Keeler, is a six-part portrayal of the infamous 1963 Cold War saga.

It saw Profumo – who was married to actress Valerie Hobson – forced to resign after it emerged that Miss Keeler had also been sleeping with a Russian diplomat at the time of their affair during the Cold War.
Mr Platt said he hadn’t been able to see all the episodes before the show aired but is now on the second one.
‘I’ve liked the second episode much more,’ he said. ‘I think its fair… My mum was even naïve when I knew her. I was born 10 years after these events. But the woman I knew she was a devoted mum.
‘She was quite a character, who was eccentric, funny and loved driving. We would laugh so much.’
