Baby Reindeer's 'real-life Martha' is unmasked as she faces TV grilling with ... trends now

Piers Morgan has dropped the first teaser trailer for his bombshell interview with the 'real-life Martha' from Netflix smash Baby Reindeer.

The interviewer has gone head-to-head with the woman thought to be the stalker who appears in comedian Richard Gadd's hit show. 

The 48-year-old woman from Scotland is seeking to 'set the record straight' following the show's phenomenal global success. 

But Morgan has already faced a backlash from mental health campaigners and survivors of stalking over his 'irresponsible' decision to interview the woman.

MailOnline had until now chosen not to name and picture her. But following her appearance with Piers Morgan we have decided to publish her picture. 

And today, the alleged stalker has hit out at Morgan, saying she felt she had been 'set up' during her appearance on his show. 

Piers has now released the 58-second trailer ahead of tonight's broadcast of the show on Piers Morgan Uncensored.

In the clip, Morgan asks: 'First of all, why have you decided to go public? When did you know that you were the person being depicted? Have you ever been to prison?'

'I'm the victim. He's written a bloody show about me': The alleged female stalker whose story has gripped the world in Netflix hit baby Reindeer tells HER side of the story and claims 'I'm being bullied for fame'

'What do you feel about Richard Gadd? Do you think he's mentally unwell? Did you ever turn up at his house? Would you accept that someone who did that would be very obsessive about someone?'

The trailer ends with Morgan asking: 'Here's the thing, I don't know the truth - you do. Would you look down the barrel of that camera... to people who still doubt you, what do you say to them?' before the clip cuts to the woman. 

But campaigners have rounded on Morgan for his decision to interview the alleged stalker. 

Kerri Layton, whose life was destroyed after she faced a 14-year nightmare at the hands of her stalker, today said: 'I feel sick to the stomach for so many reasons.

'Having being through the criminal justice system myself with a 14 year stalking incident, I know how dangerous this is.

'Stop glamourising stalking,' added the professional jazz singer and business coach in a post on social media. 

The Scottish woman is set to break her silence in her first ever TV interview with Piers tonight from 8pm.

But before the tête-à-tête with the celebrity interviewer has even aired, the woman has already gone on the offensive, saying she is 'not happy' and felt she was being 'set up' by the interviewer.

Describing the 30-minute grilling as a 'sparring match', the alleged female stalker has accused Morgan of trying to 'trip her up' with his questions.

The real-life 'Martha' from Baby Reindeer is now targeting ME: I've had a four-day barrage of non-stop calls and terrifying messages just like on the Netflix show, writes NEIL SEARS. As I type, the phone is ringing again...

'Piers kept saying to me "are you sure you haven't sent this guy 41,000 emails and phone calls?". A lot of the interview, for a good 10 minutes, he kept coming back to this,' she told the Daily Record. 

'I said, "Look, even if I had sent some emails, it doesn't mean I'm guilty of the rest of the stuff". As I said, in order to bill something as a "true story", it's got to be pretty much 100 per cent true.'

She added: 'It seemed to me that I was set up. I feel a bit used.'

The Piers Morgan Uncensored special will air on the broadcaster's YouTube channel, which has 2.58million subscribers, at 8pm. 

The woman will be looking to 'set the record straight' as she breaks her silence following Baby Reindeer's global success, the preview said.

Before her big interview, she paid a visit to celebrity hairdresser John Hala - who has styled the barnets of A-listers Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sigourney Weaver, Elle MacPherson and Kate Moss -  at his salon in London’s Canary Wharf.

Speaking to the Daily Record, she claimed she was paid £250 for the interview and had turned down requests from the likes of This Morning to talk about Baby Reindeer.

The chilling real-life drama was inspired by the ordeal suffered by Scottish creator and leading man Richard Gadd - who is called Donny Dunn in the show.

Working as a struggling stand-up comic, Dunn first meets his stalker after he offered 'a crying stranger a cup of tea' while he was working at a bar in London.
