THE "real-life" Martha from Baby Reindeer is in talks with a top barrister to sue over the Netflix show, as more details of her previous "stalking" emerge.

Chris Daw KC, who has acted for football star Ryan Giggs, told the Mirror the streaming giant could have a "big legal problem" if it is found the woman, who we are not naming, has never been to prison.

The hit show is a dramatised version of the life of comedian Richard Gadd, 34, who is pursued by an obsessed stalker, Martha Scott, played by Jessica Gunning.
