Richard Gadd explained on Lorraine why he wanted to make the Netflix adaptation of 'Baby Reindeer' based on his own experience with being stalked in real life.
The real-life 'Martha' from Baby Reindeer claims she has been bombarded with calls since Richard Gadd 's Netflix drama became a global sensation.
Describing the 30-minute grilling as a 'sparring match', the alleged female stalker has accused Morgan of trying to 'trip her up' with his questions. Read More 'I'm the victim. He's written a bloody show about me': The alleged female stalker whose story has gripped the world in Netflix hit baby Reindeer tells HER side of the story and claims 'I'm being bullied for fame' 'I said,"Look, even if I had sent some emails, it doesn't mean I'm guilty of the rest of the stuff". As I said, in order to bill something as a"true story", it's got to be pretty much 100 per cent true.
The chilling real-life drama was inspired by the ordeal suffered by Scottish creator and leading man Richard Gadd - who is presented in the show as Donny Dunn. Things rapidly turn sinister, with the series claiming 'Martha' bombarded the 34-year-old from Fife with more than 41,000 emails Richard Gadd and Jessica Gunning - who plays Martha - beamed as they posed arm in arm and joined Nava Mau and others for a Q and A on stage.
However, the show's runaway success has been far from a joy for the 'real-life' Martha, who claimed she had been left a 'victim' by its surprise popularity. Gadd claimed he went to great lengths to conceal the identity of the woman who stalked him in real life. The actor and comedian was subjected to a campaign of obsession by the woman, known as Martha, that manifested in 41,071 emails, 744 tweets, 106 pages of letters and a staggering 350 hours of voicemail.
Gadd says he's currently single and 'is more cautious' of people because of the campaign of terror that Martha inflicted, saying: 'It takes me a long time to trust them. Before, I entered situations with such abandonment and I got burnt.'
