It is written by and stars Richard Gadd, who based it on his real life experience with a stalker.

He plays barman Donny, who finds himself targeted by obsessive loner, Martha.

Fiona Harvey, a real life woman accused of being the inspiration for the character, has spoken out about the show during an interview with Piers Morgan.

She admitted having four mobile phones and six email addresses but denied ever hounding the show's creator.

Law graduate Fiona , 58, accused Gadd of being a "psychotic misogynist" whose hit series is "completely untrue".

She told of horrendous abuse she has suffered since "sleuths" tracked her down, including death threats.

And she has vowed to sue Netflix and Gadd, 34, over the "defamatory" depiction of her as Martha.
