Baby Reindeer stars Richard Gadd and Jessica Gunning are arm-in-arm at Love Lies Bleeding screening... as lawyer claims Netflix should have changed key details in hit show to stop outing of real life characters


Baby Reindeer stars Richard Gadd and Jessica Gunning appeared in good spirits as they stepped out to the Love Lies Bleeding gala film screening in London on Tuesday.

The seven-part Netflix-series is billed as a 'captivating true story' based on Richard Gadd's experience of being stalked by a random stranger he offered a cup of tea and abused by a high-profile comedy agent some years earlier. Rory Lynch, a lawyer specialising in defamation and privacy at Gateley Legal, said that identifying details like this not being changed, and the apparent use of real text messages sent to Mr Gadd from his stalker could lead to 'jigsaw identification'. She told MailOnline: 'Speculating that someone is guilty of a crime like stalking or sexual assault, even through the medium of social media, can be legally actionable in defamation if there is no evidence to back-up that allegation and the target turns out to be entirely innocent.
