Jessica Gunning, the talented actress who played Martha Scott in the hit Netflix show Baby Reindeer, recently opened up about the challenges she has faced in finding work after the show's worldwide success. Despite receiving rave reviews and gaining widespread popularity, Jessica has not seen the same level of opportunities as her co-star Richard Gadd.
In a recent appearance on Jessica Knappett's Perfect Day podcast, Jessica shared that Richard has had incredible meetings and offers come his way, while she has faced a lack of scripts coming her way. She joked that she had only received offers to join a celebrity reality show where stars swim with sharks, or to play Mr. Smee in an Australian production of Peter Pan.
However, Jessica did reveal that she has been working on a project under Cate Blanchett's production company, which is finally starting to come together after years of writing. She also shared that she had previously worked with Cate on a play and had a pilot idea with a friend that is now gaining momentum.
Jessica's career has seen her appear in popular shows such as Doctor Who, Holby City, and Life of Riley, as well as holding a regular role on Law & Order UK. In 2021, she starred in the comedy series The Outlaws alongside Christopher Walken, and even wrote the final episode of season three.
After the success of Baby Reindeer, social media sleuths were quick to identify the real-life inspiration for Jessica's character, Fiona Harvey. Fiona was interviewed by Piers Morgan, where she denied the events depicted in the show and threatened to take legal action against Richard. Other celebrities, including Janey Godley and Sir Keir Starmer, shared their own encounters with Fiona.
Even former MP George Galloway appeared on Piers Morgan's show to discuss his experience with Fiona's stalking. Despite the controversy, Baby Reindeer remains one of the biggest TV shows of 2024 and can be streamed on Netflix.
