Former Pointless host Richard Osman has claimed that 'everyone' in the comedy industry knows the identity of Richard Gadd's real-life abuser, who is depicted in the Netflix series Baby Reindeer

Richard Osman has dropped a bombshell, claiming those in the comedy industry knows the identity of the individual who sexually assaulted Richard Gadd, the creator of Baby Reindeer. The TV favourite and former Pointless host, aged 53, claimed that Richard hasn't kept his abuser's identity a secret within the industry, revealing that "everyone knows who he is talking about" in his harrowing stage show and its Netflix adaptation.

Confirming the serious nature of the incident, a spokesperson for the British police stated: "We're investigating after a man reported receiving threatening messages on social media. Enquiries are at an early stage and we are in the process of gathering information from the victim." Osman, who recently inked a deal with Netflix for adapting one of his books into a movie adds: "Well, that's the dilemma you see, the complexity of him having put the material out there before in another format. And obviously, that person hasn't been prosecuted, has never gone to trial, but everyone knows who he is talking about.

Sean Foley, who's directed and written for the stage, echoed Gadd's plea by reposting the Instagram message to his Twitter followers on Tuesday morning. He also informed them via tweet that the police are looking into the nasty messages he's received: "Police have been informed and are investigating all defamatory abusive and threatening posts against me."
