A shopping centre security guard from Essex spent almost two years plotting to kidnap and kill Holly Willoughby, a court has heard.

Gavin Plumb, 37, appeared in the dock at Chelmsford Crown Court wearing a light grey tracksuit top and dark grey bottoms as his trial got underway. Prosecutor Alison Morgan KC told the court he’d outlined his plans while messaging a man online named in court as ‘David Nelson’, who he was hoping would help him abduct the TV star. She says Mr Plumb didn’t know he was an undercover US police officer.

“The Prosecution’s case is that this defendant’s online discussions reveal his real intention to carry out a plot to kidnap Holly Willoughby from her family home; to take her to a location where she would be raped repeatedly before the defendant then intended to kill her. “It was not just the ramblings of a fantasist. The defendant had carefully planned what he would do and how he would do it, purchasing items that would assist him in carrying out the attack.” Mr Plumb denies the charges.
