Lorraine Kelly has expressed her concerns ahead of Piers Morgan’s interview with Baby Reindeer’s real Martha.
The show, which has garnered more than 18.6 million views since its launch on the streaming service last month, is based on the true experiences of Scottish comedian Richard Gadd, the series’ creator and star, reports The Daily Record.
Baby Reindeer focuses on the chain of events after Gadd gave a free cup of tea to a customer who came into the London pub where he worked. The Daily Record published the first photo and newspaper interview with Fiona Harvey, 58, after she was revealed to be the real Martha.

“Apparently the stalking drama was based on her, with (actress) Jessica Gunning playing a version of her on the show, but it’s also a drama, it was based on real life. I just hope the ‘real Martha’ is actually OK, that she’s OK and that she gets through the interview OK…”
The interview was recorded earlier this week and it is understood she will be asked about allegations that she was obsessed with the Fife-born star for years and inspired the character Martha.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Piers was pictured alongside Fiona on Wednesday and wrote: “The real Martha from Baby Reindeer comes out of hiding and gives me her first TV interview about the hit Netflix series. Fiona Harvey wants to have her say and ‘set the record straight’. Is she a psychotic stalker?”
