Hit Netflix series Baby Reindeer has hit a giant milestone just hours after Richard Gadd jovially derided his show losing Netflix's top spot in Colombia. 

The hard-hitting series adaptation of Gadd's stand-up show with the same name was the streaming giant's top TV show in its first full week since release, amassing 13.3 million views in that time.

Baby Reindeer sees the Scottish comedian retell his own traumatic true story of being stalked over the course of several years, as well as his harrowing account of sexual abuse. 

Released on April 11, the seven-part drama had previously broken into Netflix's global top-five for the week from April 8 - April 14, with an already-impressive 2.6m streams.

Lost for words, Gadd posted an unannotated screenshot of the newly-updated Netflix top-10 for the following seven days to his Instagram Story.

This was in contrast to the comedian's earlier social media intervention when he reacted to Baby Reindeer missing out on Colombia's prestigious Netflix number one spot as it fell short of true story Hijacking Of Flight 601. 

Posting a picture of the rankings he wrote: 'And I would have done it, if it wasn't for that pesky Hijacking Of Flight 601!!!'

Hijacking Of Flight 601 tells a true story from 1973 when two armed and hooded assailants hijacked an airliner and put the Colombian government under pressure by demanding the release of 50 political prisoners and a large ransom.
