Baby Reindeer’s Richard Gadd wasn’t going to let a looming $175,000,000 court case ruin his fun at the Scotland vs Switzerland Euro 2024 match.

The writer and actor behind the most successful Netflix smash of 2024, shocked fans watching the game live on ITV last night when he was spotted cheering Scotland from the sidelines.

His team drew 1-1 with Switzerland after a disastrous start to the tournament when they lost 5-1 to Germany in their opening match.

Regardless, Gadd was clearly in high spirits with one of the best seats in the stadium, wearing a patriotic Scotland football shirt, clenching his fist and cheering his side on through waves of tension and elation in equal measure.

And there were plenty of fans distracted by Gadd’s surprise appearance.

Posting a screen grab of the actor looking tense, Summer Ray wrote on X: ‘Is it just me or was that Richard Gadd in the crowd?’

Influencer James Barr added: ‘Just seen Richard Gadd at the Scotland game.’

Author Nooruddean Choudry said Gadd looked like he was ‘living his best life’.

Gadd responded to the fuss confirming on his Instagram: ‘Yes, it was me. What a game! Proud of the Scotland National Team tonight.’

His night out comes after Fiona Harvey, who claims to be in the inspiration behind Martha in Baby Reindeer, has filed as $170,00,000 (£134,000,000) lawsuit against Netflix, alleging defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, and violations of her right of publicity.

The seven-part series claims to be a ‘true story’ based on Gadd’s real-life experience with a stalker, who in the show is called Martha (played by Jessica Gunning).

During an appearance on Piers Morgan’s Uncensored, Harvey’s lawyer Richard Roth warned Gadd he will be expected to testify in court.

Roth said ‘there is a lot of money to be made’ for Harvey by taking legal action.

The lawyer believes he has a ‘very, very strong case’ and concluded that it ‘could be a watershed moment for streaming TV’.

Netflix has previously stressed it ‘intends to defend this matter vigorously and to stand by Richard Gadd’s right to tell his story’.

Harvey has said she had ‘no doubt’ the character of Martha was intended to be a portrayal of her.

‘Nobody ever asked for my permission to present me in this way or to use my image at all,’ she said.

Baby Reindeer is now one of Netflix’s most popular shows of all time, being the 10th-most-watched programme in its history.

Baby Reindeer is available to stream on Netflix now.
