The 'real-life Martha' from Baby Reindeer is set to do a second interview following her bombshell appearance on Piers Morgan's Uncensored.
Last week, Fiona Harvey, 58, originally from Aberdeenshire, confirmed Richard Gadd based the character of Martha in the hit Netflix show on her during her first televised interview.
However, she denied ever stalking the comedian, sexually assaulting him or attacking his girlfriend.
Podcaster James English - who hosts 'Anything Goes' - has now claimed to have recorded an interview with Ms Harvey and teased its upcoming release.
Sharing the news with his 421,000 Instagram followers, James wrote: 'Podcast with Baby Reindeer Fiona Harvey coming soon.'
Appearing on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Fiona Harvey, 58, originally from Aberdeenshire, confirmed Richard Gadd based the character of Martha in the hit Netflix show on her
The post has amassed over 10,000 'likes' in the past 24 hours and sparked fierce debate among followers - with some claiming Ms Harvey is being 'exploited'.
One wrote: 'We are living in mad times when stalkers are getting the limelight.'
Another added: 'I reckon you should interview Richard Gadd after too... he's a complex character.'
Meanwhile, a third asked: 'Would you get a male stalker on?'
The show alleges that the comedian's female stalker conducted a relentless stalking campaign which started after he served her in a London pub while working as a bartender.
The Netflix hit sees Donny Dunn (Richard Gadd) offer Martha a cup of tea on the house during their first encounter, which Ms Harvey last night claimed never happened.
'Nobody gets anything for free in the Hawley Arms', she said, referencing the pub where they allegedly met.
Ms Harvey then claimed Mr Gadd 'commandeered the conversation' she was having with someone else at the bar, adding: 'He seemed to be obsessed with me from that moment onwards.'

The alleged stalker said she has been 'forced' into telling her side of the story after receiving death threats from 'internet sleuths' following the release of the show.
Ms Harvey repeatedly denied stalking Gadd in real life, describing the show as 'a work of fiction, a work of hyperbole'.
And when Morgan asked her whether Gadd had offered her a free cup of tea after she walked into the pub where he was working, she replied: 'No, that's not correct.
'He didn't offer me a cup of tea… I was in for a meal with, a drink of lemonade, and I was very, very hungry. I'm diabetic, so, very hungry. So that's true.'
Morgan then asked: 'And did you talk to him?' And Ms Harvey replied: 'And he interrupted a conversation… he said, ''Oh, you're Scottish'', and basically commandeered the conversation.
'You know, I was talking to somebody. It's pretty rich. [...] So he seemed to be obsessed with me from that moment onwards.'
The 58-year-old has claimed that she was prepared to go to a court of law to defend herself against allegations made in the series.
When Morgan asked if she will 'categorically be taking legal action', she replied: 'Absolutely, against both him (Gadd) and Netflix.'
The chilling real-life drama was inspired by the ordeal suffered by Scottish creator and leading man Richard Gadd at the hands of 'Martha' (played by Jessica Gunning, right)
Baby Reindeer, the extraordinary hit Netflix drama, has been viewed more than 60 million times in the past month
Ms Harvey said she had instructed lawyers in part, but 'we want to explore all the options out there, there are a number of people to sue'.
During the interview, Ms Harvey referenced a scene in the show where character Martha admits to intimidating Gadd's character and receives a nine-month prison sentence.
'That is completely untrue, very, very defamatory to me, very career damaging,' she said.

'I wanted to rebut that completely on this show - I am not a stalker, I have not been to jail, I've not got injunctions - it is complete nonsense.'
Shocked viewers said they were 'disturbed' by the programme on Piers Morgan Uncensored, which they branded a 'painful watch'.
One viewer, called Sarah Lucy, wrote on X: 'I'm disturbed watching the Piers Morgan interview with Fiona Harvey.
'It's deeply troubling to see her obvious mental health struggles exploited for sensationalism and poor taste.'
Another social media user, called Lucy, said: 'Fiona Harvey's fixed beliefs and delusions are clear signs of severe mental health issues to anybody that works within this field.
'It's clear she's being exploited for financial gain.'
A third Twitter/X user added: 'It was highly irresponsible to put Fiona Harvey on TV!'
After the show was released, viewers began to speculate over the real people who inspired the events behind the series, which saw Gadd post a message to his Instagram story.
He said: 'Hi everyone, people I love, have worked with, and admire... are unfairly getting caught up in speculation.
'Please don't speculate on who any of the real life people could be. That's not the point of our show.'
