The most recent voicemail message was the most chilling. 'You have made a bitter enemy of me,' she said. 'You are the c*** from hell.'
On social media, she went on to denounce me as a fat liar, an 'overgrown bipolar schoolboy' and said she was considering charging £3,000 an hour for the time she spent talking to me, which she claimed was her professional due. But in 30 years of journalism – including the occasion when comedian-turned-conspiracy theorist Russell Brand took offence at what I'd written about him and turned his eight million fans on me - I have never encountered such a tsunami of calls.
Gadd's character works in a bar in the show and Martha haunts him, at one point smashing a glass in his face and attacking his trans girlfriendThe popularity of the series set off an army of determined internet sleuths who, before long, had identified Martha as a 58-year-old Scottish woman - who the Mail has chosen not to name - living in London.
She explained she had moved to the flat the day before and apologised for her attire - jogging trousers - saying she had yet to unpack her clothes. 'Martha' happily posed for the Mail photographer - even sitting at a bus stop in the way as Martha does in Baby Reindeer while stalking Donny - although we have decided not to publish them.
I was fully expecting to hear from her. I gave her my number because it is perfectly understandable that an interviewee would wish to contact the journalist who would be telling her story to the world, perhaps with additional thoughts and observations or to correct some facts. Donny, like Richard Gadd in real life, even tries his hand at stand-up comedy, although he is not a great success
The most abusive message came after she had belatedly read the story published in the Mail that I had worked on with feature writer Barbara Davies.
