Baby Reindeer star Jessica Gunning says she's struggling for work following her role in the smash hit Netflix series where she played the role of unhinged stalker, Martha.

The actress sarcastically said during a recent interview that her co-star Richard Gadd had offers flooding in, but she was not having the same luck. 

“Richard has got incredible meetings out of this and everyone’s said to me, ‘What have you got?’ She said jokingly.

“One was about sharks — Celebrity Infested Waters — where stars swim with sharks, the other was for an Australian touring production of Peter Pan to play Mr Smee.”

Gadd's thrilling series, in which he starred and wrote caused controversy as fans quickly claimed they had found the real-life Martha, identifying Fiona Harvey as the person the character was based on. 

Harvey has since denied ever stalking Gadd and is currently suing Netflix for $170 million in damages.
