Undercover officer felt Harlow security guard Gavin Plumb was 'imminent threat' to Holly Willoughby

A security guard charged with plotting the rape, kidnap and murder of Holly Willoughby had enough information to pose an "imminent threat" to the TV star, said the undercover officer who raised the alarm.

The officer, from the Owatonna Police Department in the US state of Minnesota, said he showed Plumb a flight confirmation in their online conversations in order “to show him that I was willing to accomplice him in this act”. The witness told jurors that he looked for instances of human trafficking and kidnapping among other things in his role.

Under questioning from defence barrister Sasha Wass KC, the officer agreed that he feared Plumb “must be approaching” Ms Willoughby after reading the post.He told the court he asked the defendant how far it was from his address to where Ms Willoughby lived “to figure out where Mr Plumb was located”. The officer replied “yes there was”, and also agreed that it involved contact with the Metropolitan Police.
