Baby Reindeer is the hot topic at the moment as Netflix's controversial show continues to be the centre of attention.

The seven-part miniseries follows Scottish comedian Richard Gadd, 35, who plays a fictionalised version of himself.

While working at the local pub, things take a sinister turn when Gadd's character, Donny Dunn, gets stalked by a woman named Martha (played by Jessica Gunning).

Since the series aired in April and gained worldwide attention, with internet sleuths trying to figure out who Gadd's stalker was in real life, Fiona Harvey - originally from Aberdeenshire - emerged as the 'real life Martha'.

And she is set to do a second interview, despite the backlash from when she sat down with Piers Morgan for an episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored last week (9 May).

The interview itself, in which Harvey intended to get her side of the story across, drew a lot of criticism at the time.

Some viewers thought the whole thing was 'irresponsible' and 'unethical', as Morgan has hit back at the public concern.

Taking to Instagram yesterday (14 May), podcaster James English claims to have landed an interview with Harvey, promising that it will be 'coming soon'.

With over 10,000 likes on the post, one person commented: "We are living in mad times when stalkers are getting the limelight."

"I reckon you should interview Richard Gadd after too... he's a complex character," another suggested.

This comes after Coventry-based Kasbah Nightclub announced yesterday (14 May) that Harvey would be 'will be signing autographs, taking selfies and may also take a lucky reindeer home to hang her curtains' this Saturday (18 May).

However, Kasbah has since shared a statement on why the 'event' has been cancelled.

"Unfortunately, the promoter of this Saturday’s meet & greet with Fiona Harvey has deemed the event unsafe and cancelled the appearance due to the negative publicity," it wrote on Facebook.

As well as thanking various news outlets and social media pages for 'their support and free publicity', the nightclub added: "Open as normal this Friday, Saturday and Monday from 10:30pm.

"Simply quote 'Martha' at the front door on Saturday to receive £1 off entry before midnight!"

Baby Reindeer creator Gadd has become an overnight celebrity amid the success of the show and the Scotsman acknowledges that his life will never be the same.

In an interview with Hollywood Reporter, the 35-year-old spoke about his recent visit to the pub, saying: "It was bedlam, it was chaos.

"People coming up all the time, all the time, sharing stories and talking about the show and how it affected them.

"I kind of thought, 'Oh, I can’t really go into pubs anymore and expect to sit there quietly in a corner and have some food'."

LADbible has contacted Kasbah Nightclub for additional comment.
