Baby Reindeer sees calls soar to stalking hotline

The Suzy Lamplugh Trust saw calls increase from 660 in March to 832 last month when the Netflix mini-series was made available.

Baby Reindeer, watched by 65 million people worldwide, is a dramatised account of the trauma of its writer and star, Richard Gadd, who claimed he suffered at the hands of a woman stalker.

Around 13 per cent of victims seeking support from the personal safety charity and leading authority on stalking are male, with around 17 per cent of perpetrators female.
