George Galloway Baby Reindeer claim as he says he was 'relentlessly stalked' while a Glasgow MP

George Galloway claims that he was "relentlessly" and "physically" stalked by the woman who says she is the real-life Martha from hit Netflix show Baby Reindeer.

The Scots politician shared allegations in an interview with Piers Morgan Uncensored.

He alleges that during his time as MP for Glasgow Hillhead in the 1980s and 90s he received "hundreds" of calls from who he believed to be Fiona Harvey.

Galloway said he had uncovered his "one-time stalker" following an interview between Morgan and Harvey earlier this year, reports the Daily Record.

Speaking to Piers, he said: "I saw her sitting in this chair, I was riveted by your interview and it took me right back to the 1980s when stalking was up close and personal because there was no emails, there was no texting.

"You had to either phone someone on their landline or turn up at the door. That's real stalking and that's what she did to me. She called me hundreds of times, hundreds of times, and she showed up probably hundreds of times, at the most inappropriate places. At my office, wherever she discovered that we were, me and my staff and my inner circle, she would breeze in.”

Galloway claims Harvey was after his job as an MP in Glasgow.

He added: "She was forever on my case. She was a member of the Labour Party, I think you got that out of her. She was a member of the Labour Party in my Hillhead constituency.

"I had just been elected MP in 1987, defeating Roy Jenkins, and suddenly I find this obsessive woman in my midst. And everywhere I turned, she was there. And, at first I thought that she fancied me, but it turned out that she fancied my job and so she was a relentless, physical up close-and-personal stalker of mine, and I'm ready to testify to that."

Following the release of the hit show Baby Reindeer in April, Harvey was identified by internet sleuths as the woman portrayed as Richard Gadd’s stalker from social media posts similar to those shown in the programme.

Scots lawyer Laura Wray, husband of former Glasgow Baillieston Labour MP Jimmy Wray, also claimed she was stalked by Harvey years ago.

Galloway said he knew Laura and Jimmy, who died in 2013, and had spoken to them about their alleged stalker. It comes after Laura revealed she feared Harvey would return to live in Scotland.

On MP Jimmy Wray, Galloway claimed: "She fancied Jimmy's job too… so it was on one level chilling another level hilarious to see that face and to hear that voice again.

Asked if Harvey had ever threatened him, Galloway replied: "No".

He added: "Although I had watched Baby Reindeer, I had no idea that it was her. And then when I saw it on your show, it took me right back to the salad days of the 1980s… as I say, simultaneously chilling and hilarious at the same time."

Harvey recently revealed she was suing Netflix for $170million over defamation and negligence. The streaming giant said it would defend itself in any case.
