Who is real life Martha from Baby Reindeer?
Ever since it dropped in April 2024, Netflix's Baby Reindeer has got everyone talking.
The real-life drama was inspired by the ordeal suffered by Scots creator and leading man Richard Gadd.
The then-struggling comic, who goes by the name of Donny in Baby Reindeer, is seen handing a woman called Martha a free cup of tea and his nightmare begins.
Things then turn sinister, and Martha's obsession begins.

The mini-series claims she bombarded Donny with more than 41,000 emails.
In Baby Reindeer, Martha (played by actress Jessica Gunning) also sent him hundreds of tweets and hours of voicemails over an alleged four-year campaign of terror.
Due to the story being based on real life events, internet sleuths immediately leapt into action to try and work out who the REAL Martha was.
It was these same armchair detectives that went onto claim that Scottish law graduate Fiona Harvey is the woman Richard Gadd based the character on.

“This is a programme for the 20-somethings.
"The people with no lives, no jobs, whatever. I don’t want to be a celebrity.”
Comic Richard claimed he went to great lengths to conceal the identity of the woman who stalked him in real life.
He even went as far as to beg fans not to search for the real Martha.
What to do if you suspect you're being stalked
Tony Neate, CEO of Get Safe Online, tells Sun Online: “The perpetrators commonly obtain details about you via online information of personal and financial affairs, social and work life, relationships and your location.
As a starting point, ensure only the minimum information about you is available online and take stalking seriously.
Report it before it has serious effects on you and others and keep a record of all that takes place so you collate evidence whilst it is happening.
