dailyrecord.co.ukBaby Reindeer’s real life Martha has slammed a nightclub over claims she was booked to make a personal appearance. The Kasbah in Coventry claimed it had Fiona Harvey as its special guest tomorrow night and that she planned to sign autographs there.
She said: “Of course it’s not true. If I am supposed to be a mad stalker, why do they want me in the nightclub? No nightclub has approached me.
