BABY Reindeer star Jessica Gunning has told how a terrified woman screamed at her in the street because she thought she was following her.
The actress, who plays an obsessed stalker called Martha in the hit Netflix show, bumped into the woman outside her home just minutes after she had watched the last episode of the programme.
Jessica, 38, reckons this was the moment when she realised just how huge the show had become.
"I came out of my house the other week and a lady was just there on the street and went, 'Ahhh!', she says.
"But it's because she'd just finished episode seven, walked out of her door and then I was there.
"So I understand why maybe that may have been a bit freaky."
In the drama, Jessica's character Martha spends whole days in the street outside her victim's home.
And the actress admits she looks similar to the 58-year-old Scottish woman who claims she is the real-life inspiration for the character and is now suing Netflix for defamation.
