Baby Reindeer was one of the standout television moments of the past few years and it catapulted actress Jessica Gunning to stardom.

She played the obsessive and troubled woman, Martha, who dramatically unravels onscreen.

For Gunning it was the "role of a lifetime", describing life as a "surreal" but also a "dream" since the show's release.

"I got goose bumps when I first read the script," the British actress tells the BBC, adding she had five auditions for the role.

But she thought the television series might have been an indie hit, not the phenomenon on Netflix it became.
