    THE woman claiming to be Netflix's real-life Baby Reindeer Martha told Piers Morgan the series is "completely untrue".

    She appeared in an explosive interview on Morgan's YouTube channel Uncensored, slamming Netflix and Richard Gadd.

    Baby Reindeer depicted the TV funnyman's real-life experience with a prolific stalker and sexual abuser in the showbiz industry.

    Now the woman claiming to have inspired the stalker, played by actress Jessica Gunning, has "had her say" on the programme.

    "He didn't offer me a cup of tea… I was in for a meal with, a drink of lemonade, and I was very, very hungry. I'm diabetic, so, very hungry."

    She told Piers: "It's completely untrue. Very, very defamatory to me, very career-damaging. And I wanted to rebut that completely on this show.

    "I'm not a stalker. I've not been to jail, I've not got injunctions. And this is just complete nonsense," the woman told the former TV host.

    Addressing claims she sent Gadd thousands of emails and texts, as seen in the show, the woman said: "That's simply not true.

    "If somebody was sending somebody 41,000 emails or something, they'd be doing how many a day? Lots. Now, none of that's true.

    "I don't think I sent him anything… No, I think there may have been a couple of emails exchanging, but that was it. Just jokey banter emails."

    She denied sending texts or Facebook messages, but on Twitter she added: "I may have done years and years ago… It's about 18 tweets."

    But what exactly was true? "It's a work of fiction. It's a work of hyperbole, as I've always said. And there are two true facts in that.

    "His name is Richard Gadd, and he works as a jobbing barman on benefits, in the Hawley Arms. And we met, two or three times," she told Piers.
