“This is an absolute honor,” Gunning said. “Honestly…there’s a video of me when I was little, over 8 years old, when my parents gave me a hamster for Christmas and they took it out in this trash bag – it wasn’t in a cage, just a trash bag. And I have a very Yorkshire accent and I kept saying, ‘I can’t believe this is happening to me.'”

She continued, “And I realized that morning that this has been kind of the soundtrack for the last year since then.” Baby reindeer came out. I can’t believe any of this is happening to me. I just want to thank everyone who was able to accompany me on this journey.”

Gunning went on to thank her agent and Baby reindeer Creator and co-star Richard Gadd. “Baby reindeer “I can’t believe this is happening to me, and I know I wouldn’t do it as an eight-year-old either.”
