The real-life Martha from Baby Reindeer last night slammed the £250 offered by Piers Morgan’ s firm for her exclusive interview.
Fiona Harvey, 58, is fuming after her appearance on his YouTube Uncensored show made the host at least £250,000 already.
The dynamite interview, which aired on Thursday, has been watched by more than 10million viewers. It will continue to make money for Morgan every time it is viewed on his YouTube channel.
But Harvey, from Fyvie, Aberdeenshire, says she wants a bigger slice of the pie from the show’s revenue and will “settle for” seven figures.
Speaking exclusively to the Daily Record, she said: “They offered me £250 and I asked if that was what they paid everyone and, if so, I wanted to see documentation to that effect.
“That documentation has not been forthcoming. I have not signed a contract for the interview and I will be seeking far more than a piddling £250.
“I’d settle for a million.
“I read a snippet online that Piers felt very sorry for me but he feels sorry for no one.
“His staff were being so nice and saying everything was OK but when I went in to meet him he could barely look at me.
“It was all a big act.
“He didn’t even say goodbye and only got the photograph taken with me because he needed it for the publicity.
“I also think he’s ill. He was very pale, white as a sheet under those TV cameras and he looked very drawn.
“He’s lost a lot of weight. Is he ill? You do wonder.”
Harvey also hopes to sue Netflix over Baby Reindeer. Scots comedian Richard Gadd’s show is a seven-part TV series, which the streaming channel billed as a true story.
Baby Reindeer was based on the real-life experiences of Scots comedian Gadd, the show’s creator and star.
