Baby Reindeer has become a hit since landing on Netflix - and fans are shocked to learn that the story is based on actor Richard Gadd's real life experience. Read more on Grazia.

The series follows aspiring comedian Donny Dunn as he battles through an ordeal with his stalker, Martha . Walking the lines between light and dark, the psychological drama follows Martha as she wreaks havoc in Donny’s life – who she nicknames Baby Reindeer.

With an outpouring of support from concerned viewers, Richard recently took to Instagram to insist he was 'doing okay.' 'Thanks to everyone for tuning in and making this possible, and for all of your lovely comments too,' he wrote, adding, 'I am okay, for those asking. I promise.', here's everything to know about the show - including how much of it is true, and what happened to the real Martha.

Netflix have also confirmed that every single email shown in the series, often littered with spelling mistakes and graphic in nature, was a real message sent from Martha to Richard. In fact, the star has gone to great lengths to keep the identity of Martha hidden. Despite the years of trauma, Richard told The Independent in 2019 that Martha’s story was one of a ‘failed system.’

When asked whether the release of the show might increase his stalker’s obsessive behaviours, Richard told GQ, ‘I have to admit that it hasn’t. Maybe seeing this in the press has made her think twice about her behaviour.’
