"The Reindeer" has captivated audiences worldwide since its debut, much of the fascination stemming from its background. Comedian Richard Gadd, the show's creator and star, endured years of harassment by a stalker, documented through tens of thousands of emails, hundreds of hours of voicemails, and numerous social media messages. This relentless pursuit, fueled by obsessive love and anger, culminated in the creation of the series.

The series not only highlighted the harrowing reality of stalking but also sparked an intense online manhunt for the real "Martha." It wasn't long before internet sleuths pinpointed Fiona Harvey, a law graduate from Fyvie, Aberdeenshire, who inspired the haunting narrative.

Following these revelations, “Martha” chose to tell her side of the story by sitting down with the controversial Piers Morgan. The interview, designed to increase viewership for Morgan's show, was heavily promoted as a groundbreaking moment where "the woman behind the television phenomenon of the year breaks her silence."

Piers Morgan did not hold back, bombarding Fiona with probes into her motives, her awareness of her portrayal in the series, and her criminal history. Despite the aggressive line of questioning, Fiona maintained her stance as a victim, wronged by the series that painted her in a monstrous light.

Before this interview could reach its audience, Fiona voiced her discontent with the encounter to the Daily Record, particularly criticizing Morgan's approach, which she felt was an attempt to trap her. Describing the interview as combative, she expressed frustration with Morgan's insistence on discussing her alleged history of sending thousands of emails and making numerous calls to Gadd.

In her defense, Fiona argued that even if a few emails were sent, it doesn't imply guilt for all accusations. She felt misled and utilized by the narrative, underscoring her belief that true stories should reflect reality.

This revealing interview sheds light on the complexities of the situation and the fine line between inspiration and exploitation in storytelling.
