The stars of Netflix's smash-hit series Baby Reindeer reunited at a glitzy bash last night, amid the fallout from the show's overnight success.
Baby Reindeer's stars Jessica Gunning and Richard Gadd had a reunion on the red carpet last night at a screening in London, following the Netflix series topping charts across the world and sparking controversy and even police probes.
Gunning, who plays stalker Martha in Baby Reindeer, and the show's lead star and creator, Gadd, attended the Love Lies Bleeding screening at the Prince Charles Cinema, posing for photographs with arms around each other.
Their mini reunion came just hours on from the real-life Martha hitting out at Gadd and Netflix - threatening to sue the streaming platform - and Richard Osman and Marina Hyde slamming problematic aspects of the show's mammoth reach and its success on their weekly podcast.
But Gadd and Gunning seemed unfazed by the conversations surrounding Baby Reindeer as they enjoyed a night out together. Gadd, who plays Donny in the Netflix series, was casually dressed in a jacket, jeans and trainers, while Gunning cut a chic figure in an all-black ensemble.
