AN MP’s wife targeted by Baby Reindeer ‘stalker’ Fiona Harvey told last night how she was terrified of falling victim to her again after the Netflix show dredged up her ordeal.
Barrister Laura Wray, 62 – widow of ex-Labour MP Jimmy Wray – said she was living in fear after hearing Harvey was house-hunting close to where she lives.

She spoke out as she recounted her alleged five-year ordeal at the hands of Harvey – the inspiration for the smash hit drama’s character Martha Scott, played by Jessica Gunning.
It started when she gave her a month’s work as a trainee at her Glasgow law firm in 1997, and continued until Harvey is said to have made false claims that she was abusing her disabled son, three.

Mrs Wray – who eventually took out an interim interdict, barring Harvey from contacting her – said: “I feel threatened. I just never knew what she was capable of.
“I am frightened. I have no doubt she’s a dangerous stalker. No doubt at all.”
Speaking to Piers Morgan on his Uncensored YouTube show, she added: “A few weeks ago we were told she is looking to buy a house in a little village nearby.
“I’m extremely concerned that this woman might be moving close to where I live.”
Mrs Wray told Piers, 59, she gave Harvey a month’s work at her McPhail Lawrence Partnership firm after receiving letters and feeling “very sorry” for her.
But she was forced to cut it short after two weeks due to “inappropriate” and “rude” behaviour to colleagues and clients.
Mrs Wray¸ who issued staff with panic alarms, explained: “She shouted at people.

“She tried to follow a male member of staff home. She threw a book across the office and hit somebody with it.”
She also said that – when they asked Harvey to leave after two weeks – a campaign of stalking started.
Mrs Wray told the show: “She’d only been there two weeks and eventually my cashier and I had to march her out.
“And she stood there for at least half an hour screaming abuse.
“It all started thereafter.
“Every day I’d come into the office, the answer-phone would be full of messages from her, all threatening, nasty.”
Mrs Wray said Harvey then turned up at Strathclyde University five years later when she studied for exams to become a barrister.
She said Harvey followed her around the uni – then contacted social services when she complained.
LETTERS TO BLAIR: OBSESSED
Fiona Harvey wrote letters to Tony Blair complaining she was being persecuted by “hysterical” Laura Wray.
She outlined complaints about Laura and her husband – and even offered her condolences after Cherie Blair’s 2002 miscarriage.
The letters came in 1997 – the year Blair won a landslide Labour election victory and in August 2002.
She signed one ‘Fiona Muir’ and the second ‘Fiona Harvey’ – and addressed both to ‘Dear Tony’.
After Mrs Wray, whose husband Jimmy died in 2013, said: “She made complaints demanding that my son be taken into care.
“That was the point at which I thought, ‘enough is enough’.
“So I contacted the police. The police didn’t do anything.
“Drummond Miller solicitors did the interim interdict for me.”
In a previous interview with Piers Morgan, Harvey denied ever going to jail – as shown on Baby Reindeer – and added: “I’ve got no injunctions.”
But show-makers have seen the interdict, obtained through Scottish courts, and served on her.
Mrs Wray has also threatened to sue Harvey over her claims in that interview she was the victim of Mrs Wray harassing her.
She said neither Netflix or the show’s star and creator, Richard Gadd, 35 – who plays barman and comedian Donny Dunn – had contacted her about the seven-part series.
Mrs Wray explained: “Nobody approached me to say there’s going to be a story coming out in which it will be obvious that you are one of the victims.
“I’ve never met him (Gadd).
“When he says that he changed all the details so that people wouldn’t recognise her and she wouldn’t recognise herself, that that is just untrue.
“From the very beginning it was obvious it was Fiona Harvey. The actress mimicked her to a tee.
“I was in such shock watching her. Seeing how it just brought it all back again.”
And, addressing Harvey directly, she added: “I think you need to get some help. I think you need to get psychiatric help as soon as possible.”
