THE ‘real Baby Reindeer stalker’ has slammed a nightclub over claims she was booked for a meet and greet. 

Kasbah had claimed Harvey would be there on Saturday to “sign autographs, take selfies and maybe take some lucky reindeer home to hang her curtains”.

Speculation about the identity of Martha in the show, said to be based on a true story, led to Fiona, 58, coming forward.

She has since spoken to TalkTV’s Piers Morgan and denies stalking Richard Gadd, who wrote and stars in the drama.

The aftermath of Netflix show has pushed her into the spotlight, with thousands now befriending her on Facebook to keep up with her thoughts on the matter. 

And last week the Kasbah seemed to want to cash in on her new-found popularity and bragged about hosting an exclusive appearance of ‘Baby Reindeer’s real-life Martha’.

But now the venue has been slammed by Harvey, who posted on social media about the claims. 

She told the Daily Record: “Of course it’s not true. If I am supposed to be a mad stalker, why do they want me in the nightclub? 

“No nightclub has approached me. I didn’t even know there were any nightclubs in Coventry.”

The Kasbah had received backlash for the ‘booking’ with fans saying it “take advantage of someone so vulnerable.”

The club then cancelled the booking saying it was “unsafe”.

Harvey said: “It’s the sort of thing that used to be classed as a grab-a-granny night, like Clatty Pat’s which was the name given to a club called Cleopatra’s in Glasgow, or Crazy Daisy’s nightclub in Aberdeen. I can barely go out for coffee let alone clubbing.

“It’s another example of people trying to exploit me.”

Speaking to Piers Morgan last week, Fiona admitted she was Baby Reindeer's Martha, but denied ever hounding the show’s creator Gadd and accused him of “making money out of untrue facts”.

Fiona, 58, denied being a stalker and described Richard’s account as a “work of fiction” and “hyperbole”.

She also said she is taking legal action against Richard and Netflix.

Fiona has disputed several key facts presented in the programme, claiming that she has no criminal convictions and has never been to prison, despite 'Martha' being jailed in the TV show.
