RICHARD Gadd has vowed to never speak about the real Baby Reindeer stalker ever again.
Internet sleuths were quick to track down Harvey and identify her as the inspiration behind the obsessive stalker after the Netflix show launched last month.
The gritty real-life drama was inspired by the stalking ordeal suffered by Scots creator and leading man Gadd, 34.
Gadd claimed he went to great lengths to conceal the identity of the woman who stalked him in real life and has begged fans not to search for her.
However the 'real life Martha' has now been revealed as Fiona Harvey - a Scots woman who moved to London.

Fiona widely disputed the events depicted in the Netflix mini-series during her bombshell chat with Piers Morgan.
During the interview, the "real-life Martha" from hit show Baby Reindeer told Piers she is taking legal action against Richard Gadd and Netflix.
Fiona, 58, has described Gadd’s account as a “work of fiction” and “hyperbole” and denied being a stalker.
Now he says he will never reveal who the real stalker is.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, he said: “I’ve put out a statement publicly saying I want the show to be received as a piece of art, and I want the show to people to enjoy as a piece of art.
“If I wanted the real life people to be found, I would’ve made it a documentary.
“I’ve spoken publicly about how I don’t want people to do it and if I start playing a game of whack-a-mole, then I’m almost adding to it.
“I don’t think I’ll ever comment on it ever again.”
It comes after actor, writer and director Sean Foley, a friend of Gadd’s, was forced to contact police after he was falsely accused online of being a rapist.
While speaking to Piers Morgan, describe Gadd, 34, as "a complete psychopath" who has “done bloody well out of defaming me", on being told he's likely made millions from the series.

She continued: "I just generally think he's got extreme psychiatric problems.
"It's a work of fiction. It's a work of hyperbole, as I've always said.
"And and there are two true facts in that. His name is Richard Gad, and he worked as a jobbing barman on benefits, in the Holy Arms.
"And we met two, three times."
At the start of each episode it states ‘This is a True Story’.
A Netflix executive had claimed producers took every precaution to protect any real life inspirations for characters on the series.
