BABY Reindeer's real-life Martha is considering legal action over the show in which she is portrayed as a terrifying stalker.

Scots lawyer Fiona Harvey - who the Record had previously chosen not to name and picture now wants everyone to know what she has been through since her identity became public following the success of the Netflix show.

Last night, Harvey said: "You have my authority to name me in the Daily Record.

"I give you my permission to name me because people have to know what is going on."

In the hit series, the character based on Harvey, 58, is a stalker who was jailed for four-and-a-half years before she met Fifer comedian Richard Gadd.

The streaming channel's most watched show also finds Martha imprisoned for nine months as a result of the ordeal experienced by Donny, a fictionalised version of Gadd.

Speaking exclusively to the Record, Harvey said: "I've not been to prison.

"I don't know where the four-and-a-half years and nine months comes in.

"None of this happened. It's a load of rubbish."

Baby Reindeer reveals how Gadd's alleged stalker became obsessed with him.

English actress Jessica Gunning, 38, plays a Scottish woman in her 40s called Martha Scott who lives in Camden.

Harvey says she is now mulling over legal action against both the comedian and Netflix.

She said: "Gadd needs to prove I went to jail which just didn't happen.

"I've never been sent to jail. That is blatantly obvious.

"Police at your door would be the first thing, then you'd be charged, then you would have a trial. Then you'd be fined or something or go to prison.

"This is all made up and hyperbole. There are no restraining orders, injunctions or interdicts anywhere.
