A woman who was allegedly stalked by Baby Reindeer's real-life 'Martha' fears she will 'come for her again' after the release of the Netflix show.
Laura Wray, widow of former Labour MP Jimmy Wray, said she fears for her own safety after being allegedly targeted by Fiona Harvey.
Ms Wray has spoken out for the first time after her alleged stalker gave an explosive interview with Piers Morgan earlier this week.
In an interview with the Mirror, the Scottish lawyer said she had not thought about her stalker for years until seeing the interview. She said: 'I hadn't thought about her for years.
'I had forgotten so much of it. Every time someone says a comment, it triggers it again.

'Memories of things that she did. Some of her actions. It's pretty distressing. Watching her last night [on Piers Morgan's show], how did I manage to cope with that for so long?'

She went on: 'My partner and I are concerned about what she might do next. Is she going to come after me?
'She is posting things on Facebook accusing me of all sorts, and of being abusive. You don't know where it will end.'
Until now, the Mail has chosen not to identify Harvey - instead withholding her name and pixelating her face, to protect her privacy. Now she herself has placed her real identity in the public domain, we will name her as Fiona Harvey.
Wray claims problems started after she gave Harvey a two-week trial at her Glasgow law firm in 1997.
Wray claimed to have sacked Harvey just days later because she was 'completely incapable of behaving herself'.

After being sacked, Wray claims she was then allegedly harassed by Harvey — who was known at the time as Fiona Muir.
Wray claimed Harvey bombarded her with phone calls, emails and texts. She also claimed Harvey had reported her to social services over alleged mistreatment of her child.
Wray went on: 'She made some bizarre allegation that I was in my car driving and somehow managed to hit my son who was sitting in the back of the car in the child seat.
'Eventually it was all dropped but that's when I went for an interim injunction.
'Thankfully, it worked. She didn't defend it. We never heard any more from her.'

Wray believes she features indirectly in the Netflix drama through a fictional newspaper headline: 'Sick stalker targets barrister's deaf child.'
Baby Reindeer has become one of the most-watched Netflix shows of all time since it was released on April 11.
It sees Martha, played by Jessica Gunning, latching onto a struggling stand-up comedian called Donny Dunn, played by Richard Gadd. Martha is eventually jailed.
The show alleges that Dunn's female stalker conducted a relentless stalking campaign which started after he served her in a London pub while working as a bartender.
Harvey claimed she was the inspiration for sinister Martha in the Netflix hit written by Scottish comedian Gadd, who also starred in the show.

Harvey has denied ever stalking Gadd, sexually assaulting him or attacking his girlfriend.
Wray went on to say that she was shocked by the fact Netflix 'didn't attempt to hide the stalker's identity'.
She added: 'Even if she wasn't mentally ill, if you are doing a show billed as a true story where the people are still alive and might be harmed, there is a duty of care. But she seems obviously so mentally ill. They haven't done enough to protect her.'
She said the similarities between Martha and her stalker were striking and added: 'It was obvious to me and to a lot of other people that she was my stalker. They made her a lawyer.
'That detail didn't have any bearing on the story. They could have made her a doctor, or an accountant.'
However, Harvey has disputed many of Wray's claims.

Speaking on Piers Morgan Uncensored, she said she was 'head-hunted' by Wray and was not sacked from her law firm.

She also claimed it was 'nonsense' that Harvey had served her with an interdict as she not filed the paperwork properly.
Harvey also described the show as 'a work of fiction, a work of hyperbole'. She claimed that she was prepared to go to a court of law to defend herself against allegations made in the series.
Harvey said she had instructed lawyers in part, but 'we want to explore all the options out there, there are a number of people to sue'.
During the interview, Harvey also referenced a scene in the show where character Martha admits to intimidating Gadd's character and receives a nine-month prison sentence.
'That is completely untrue, very, very defamatory to me, very career damaging,' she said.
'I wanted to rebut that completely on this show - I am not a stalker, I have not been to jail, I've not got injunctions - it is complete nonsense.'
Representatives for Richard Gadd and Netflix have been approached for comment by MailOnline.
