Jessica Gunning looks a far cry from Martha as she glams up alongside Baby Reindeer star Richard Gadd at the Baftas
JESSICA Gunning looked worlds away from her character Martha as she hit the BAFTA TV Awards red carpet today.
The actress, 38, was joined by her Baby Reindeer co-star Richard Gadd amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the show.
Looking amazing, Jessica wore a fitted red gown, while her hair was styled in Hollywood style curls.
Richard, who plays a character based on himself in the hit Netflix show, looked equally as impressive in a tuxedo.
The duo will be presenting on of the awards during tonight’s star-studded ceremony.
Their Netflix drama has been number one across the world since it debuted last month.
It is written by and stars Richard Gadd, who based it on his real life experience with a stalker.
He plays barman Donny, who finds himself targeted by obsessive loner, Martha.
Martha pretends to be a lawyer but actually lives in a dingy flat where she sends countless emails and texts harassing the man she has become infatuated with.
The success of the series has prompted fans to try and find the identity of the ‘real Martha’, despite both Gadd and Gunning urging them not to online.
Fiona Harvey, a real life woman accused of being the inspiration for the character, has spoken out about the show during an interview with Piers Morgan.
She admitted having four mobile phones and six email addresses but denied ever hounding the show’s creator.
Law graduate Fiona , 58, accused Gadd of being a “psychotic misogynist” whose hit series is “completely untrue”.
