Baby Reindeer stars Richard Gadd and Jessica Gunning appeared in good spirits as they stepped out to the Love Lies Bleeding gala film screening in London on Tuesday.

Here, FEMAIL looks at the real life locations which are thought to have inspired the show - and bars, streets and buildings across London and Edinburgh, which were used in filming. Netflix's Baby Reindeer, which entails actor Richard Gadd's real life experience with a stalker, has had viewers in a grip. Audiences have been desperate to dig around the real life personalities - and places - which inspired moments in the show.

Legal experts have claimed Netflix smash Baby Reindeer is 'high risk' for lawsuits and more could have been done to protect the identities of real life people portrayed in the show. Lawyers exclusively told MailOnline that the streaming giant and show creator Richard Gadd should have changed more key details to stop 'arm chair detectives' trying to hunt out the real-life people based on the show's characters. The seven-part Netflix-series is billed as a 'captivating true story' based on Richard Gadd's experience of being stalked by a random stranger he offered a cup of tea and abused by a high-profile comedy agent some years earlier. In the show, Mr Gadd's stalker is revealed as a Scottish woman in her 40s called Martha Scott living in Camden, north London - all of which are seemingly accurate to the woman accused of being the real stalker. Rory Lynch, a lawyer specialising in defamation and privacy at Gateley Legal, said that identifying details like this not being changed, and the apparent use of real text messages sent to Mr Gadd from his stalker could lead to 'jigsaw identification'.

The Netflix show is based on writer and leading star Richard Gadd's own experience of being stalked as he plays a fictionalised version of himself, comedian Donny Dunn. The series follows his harrowing ordeal as he is bombarded with thousands of emails from stalker Martha Scott, played by Jessica Gunning, and the show has been widely praised.

An online witch hunt for writer and actor Richard Gadd's real-life abuser has sparked police action, with the star urging online true crime obsessives to stop their searches. Darrien - played by actor Tom Goodman-Hill - is described as a successful and powerful director in the series who groomed and sexually assaulted Donny, played by Gadd. Baby Reindeer draws on events that occurred in creator of the show Gadd's real life, including him being stalked and sexually abused, but the series is also a work of fiction. Legal experts have shared how falsely accusing people of grave offences such as sexual assault can have serious consequences.  Alexandra McCready, Partner at Vardags, told MailOnline: 'The risks of internet super-sleuthing gone wrong is well known to defamation lawyers.

Baby Reindeer actress Jessica Gunning looked worlds away from her stalker character Martha Scott in an old sitcom role that has now been unearthed. The actress, 38, blew fans away with her role as stalker Martha in the Netflix series, which is based on writer and leading star Richard Gadd's own experience of being stalked. But it wasn't her first role in a show - having previously starred in Sky sitcom Trollied in 2018 where she played security guard Donna Calabrese.

Keen social media detectives think that the notorious Hawley Arms in north London - which was at the centre of a celebrity campaign after it got burned down in a fire - is the real life haunt where Richard Gadd may have worked and met his stalker. Speculation also saw people discovering that the show writer and the bar follow each other on Instagram. Both the Hawley and 'The Heart' - the name of the pub in the series where the comedian plays himself under the character Donny Dunn, and Jessica Gunning portrays Martha Scott, a fictional name for the woman who becomes obsessed with him - are located in Camden. The pub is a favourite of celebs including the late Amy Winehouse (pictured at the pub, left, in 2007), Noel Fielding (pictured bottom inset) and more recent artists like YUNGBLUD (at the pub, right). The bar suffered a fire in 2008, centre. Top inset, Richard Gadd in the show Baby Reindeer.

Netflix's Baby Reindeer has spiralled into an out-of-control witch hunt for the real-life versions of characters in the show. Scottish comedian Richard Gadd, 34, has said the hit is based on his own experiences with a relentless stalker and being sexually abused by a high profile comedy agent. And fans have been working relentlessly to uncover the true identities of the two, named Martha Scott (Jessica Gunning) and Darrien O'Connor (Tom Goodman-Hill) in the show. 

Yorkshire born Jessica Gunning, 38, (left) told Glamour that she would 'urge' online sleuths not to try and track down 'Martha' (right). saying it's a 'real shame' that people are trying to find her. 'I didn't know that was happening,' she said. 'I would urge people not to be doing that. I think if that is happening, I think it's a real, real shame, because it shows that they haven't watched the show properly.' (Inset shows Richard Gadd in Baby Reindeer).

Baby Reindeer star Richard Gadd is slammed for 'not doing enough' to hide the identify of his stalker after internet sleuths claimed to find her online (inset). The 34-year-old plays the lead Donny in the Netflix series which is based on his  Edinburgh Fringe show about his own experiences of being stalked by a woman - called Martha Scott (right) in the series - and sexually abused by a high profile comedy agent. He previously made it clear that he has changed names and specific details of the story to protect the identities of those involved, even claiming 'she would not even recognize herself' in hit show.

The video, shared on TikTok, shows the comedian, from Fife, onstage competing in Cambridge for the Chortle Student Comedy Award. Dressed in a red T-shirt, he joked about having trouble with the microphone stand, making the audience howl with laughter. But viewers were shocked to hear a familiar giggle, almost identical to that of Martha Scott, the name of the stalker in the hit series (played by Jessica Gunning) in the audience.

The six-part Netflix series which begins in a Camden pub has sent some fans into a frenzy - and a theory has emerged online about the true identity of Martha Scott. Since the hit drama landed on the steraming platform earlier this month, it has been lauded by viewers and critics alike - but a debate has emerged over Martha's true identity (played by Jessica Gunning, right).

Comedian Richard Gadd (inset), from Fife, plays Donny in the hit series which is based on a real experience he had with a relentless stalker. The show got it's name as the woman, who is only named 'Martha' (pictured left and right, actress Jessica Gunning) on the show, gave him the nickname 'Baby Reindeer'. Gadd, 34, has not revealed the real name and identity of Martha meaning it is incredibly hard to find out where she is now, but he opened up about his ordeal back in 2019. Martha sent him more than 41,000 emails, 350 hours of voicemail, 744 tweets, 46 Facebook messages and 106 pages of letters.
