The clip shows Jessica, 38, eerily transform into 'stalker' Martha as she acts out a scene from a script.

During the video the actress can be seen letting out Martha's trademark laugh from the limited series.

She was auditioning for the role with Richard Gadd, who wrote and starred in Baby Reindeer - which has become Netflix's second biggest show in the UK.

It comes as the 'real life stalker' Fiona Harvey, who says Martha is based off of her, sues Netflix for a whopping £130 million.

She has filed a suit for defamation and is reportedly seeking over $170million (£132million) in damages, as reported by the BBC.

In documents seen by the outlet, Harvey alleged that Netflix did not protect her identity.

The portrayal of Martha's character, played by Jessica Gunning, led viewers to locate her on social media, she claimed.

Harvey accused Netflix of using a lot of her own speech phrases - that were easy to find on her old social media posts.

Fiona, who also claims the show has resulted in her reputation being destroyed, denies all accusations made against her in the show.

Richard Gadd, 35, from Wormit, Fife, wrote the show about his ordeal at the hands of a stalker based on events the show states are “real”.

Last month, The Scottish Sun exclusively revealed Harvey had bombarded Sir Keir Starmer with hundreds of chilling messages.

She told the Labour leader he was in a "non-job", was a "stupid little boy" and a "useless barrister".

Harvey threatened to make Sir Keir's life "not worth living".
