Richard Gadd has said he has been shocked by the success of Baby Reindeer and his new-found fame amid blurring lines between the Netflix series and reality.

Netflix's smash hit Baby Reindeer has made household names of its stars including Richard Gadd, who plays Donny, and Jessica Gunning, who stars as Martha.The seven-part drama tells a fictionalised account of Richard's own years-long stalking nightmare, after he took bar work to pay the bills and kindly gave a lonely customer a cup of tea on the house. Over a terrifying three-year period, Martha sends Donny more than 41,000 emails, voicemails totalling 350 hours, dozens of social media messages, and 106 pages of letters, where she refers to him as 'baby reindeer' – hence the show's title.

“Baby Reindeer” did her first television interview to speak out against the alleged inaccuracies of the hit Netflix series. Fiona Harvey, 58, appeared on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” and broke her silence on being the supposed inspiration for the unhinged lead character (played by Jessica Gunning) in Richard Gadd’s show. Harvey told Piers Morgan that she never stalked Gadd, 34, and slammed the series — which she still hasn’t seen — for being “completely untrue.” She claimed that her first encounter with Gadd didn’t happen as it was shown between Martha and Gadd’s character, Donny, on the show.According to Harvey, Gadd did not offer her a cup of tea after she walked into the pub where he worked when they met.

The Netflix show “Baby Reindeer” has become a sensation, skyrocketing to No. 1 on the streaming service in 30 countries, including the US. Created by and starring Scottish comedian Richard Gadd, the show is based on his real-life experience. The psychological thriller centers around Donny (Gadd), a struggling comedian who meets Martha (Jessica Gunning) during a bartending gig. The encounter quickly spirals into a terrifying stalking case.The real Martha has now allegedly come forward, claiming Gadd’s version of the story is “completely untrue.”“Very, very defamatory to me, very career-damaging. And I wanted to rebut that completely on this show. I’m not a stalker. I’ve not been to jail, I’ve not got injunctions. And this is just complete nonsense,” Fiona Harvey, 58, said on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” which aired Thursday. “I find it quite obscene. I find it horrifying, misogynistic.”I’ve interviewed a lot of very dangerous people in my career, from serial killers to medically diagnosed psychopaths.And the common denominator is that they’re invariably very skilled liars, often because their warped minds have made them believe what they’re saying even if facts show otherwise.Fiona Harvey hasn’t killed anyone.But if she did all the things she is depicted as doing in “Baby Reindeer,” then she is certainly a very unstable, obsessive and threatening stalker who made Richard Gadd’s life utter hell.And indeed, the lives of other people she’s accused of harassing too.

Baby Reindeer is one of the year’s most talked-about shows, but who is the real-life woman that inspired the character of Martha?The hit Netflix series was created by Richard Gadd, and claims to tell the true story of his experience of being obsessively stalked by a woman called Martha after he befriends her in the pub he works in.In the show, Martha has already served a four-and-a-half year sentence for a previous stalking conviction, and in the final episode she is given a further nine months in prison.After the show’s release, some viewers attempted to uncover the real identities of characters in the show, including Martha. Gadd subsequently urged viewers to refrain from speculating, saying: “That’s not the point of our show.”The woman chose to publicly reveal her identity this week in an interview with the Daily Record, after a flurry of speculation since the release of the show.She is Fiona Harvey, a 58-year-old Scottish lawyer, who in the interview described the show as “a load of rubbish”.Speaking about the decision to come forward, she said she did so “because people have to know what is going on.”*WORLD EXCLUSIVE*The real-life Martha from Baby Reindeer breaks cover and gives me her first TV interview about the smash hit Netflix show.
