‘Real Baby Reindeer stalker’ was accused of harassing ex-First Minister

A WOMAN claimed to be the real-life stalker from Netflix smash Baby Reindeer was previously accused of harassing two of Scotland’s leading politicians.

Fiona Harvey, 58, came into contact with the late Glasgow MP Jimmy Wray, who died aged 78 in 2013, and his solicitor wife Laura, 62, when she was a former Labour Party member.

Mrs Wray told how she gave Aberdeen Uni law graduate Ms Harvey a trainee role at legal firm McPhail Lawrence Partnership in 1997.

But she sacked her just days later because she was “completely incapable of behaving herself”.

Mrs Wray was then allegedly harassed by Ms Harvey — who was known at the time as Fiona Muir.

She claimed she was subjected to disturbing phone calls and an uninvited visit at her home — and was told: “I’m going to get you.”

Mrs Wray said she was so frightened she issued workers at her firm with personal alarms.

Ms Harvey was served an interim interdict to stop her from contacting the lawyer or her politician husband, the Daily Record reports.

She claimed: “I worked for two weeks. I was hired to do industrial tribunals.

"I walked. I’ve had no contact with her for 25 years.”

It’s also alleged Ms Harvey, originally from Fyvie, Aberdeenshire, had earlier harassed late First Minister Donald Dewar and made a bid to be nominated by Labour for a Holyrood seat.

She was said to have frequently turned up at his constituency surgeries and claimed she was his “special adviser”.

Ms Harvey is alleged to be the inspiration for sinister Martha in Netflix hit Baby Reindeer.

Penned by and starring Scots comic Richard Gadd, 34, from Wormit, Fife, it tells how he was stalked by an obsessed woman he met while working in a London pub while trying to crack the big time.

Ms Harvey says she met him at the Hawley Arms boozer in the city's Camden and has received threats from fans after being linked with the character.

We told how she claims to be considering legal action against the streaming giant Netflix over the portrayal of the role.

Mr Dewar died in 2000, aged 63.
