‘Obsessed’ security guard hatched plan to kidnap, rape and murder Holly Willoughby, court told | UK News

An “obsessed” security guard plotted to break into Holly Willoughby’s family home and knock her out with chloroform so he could kidnap, rape and murder her, a court has heard. Gavin Plumb, 37, allegedly hatched the “graphic” and “sexually motivated” plans over more than two years as he tried to recruit accomplices online. Chelmsford Crown Court heard he boasted of trying to abduct two air hostesses from trains and falsely imprisoning two 16-year-old girls to “bolster his credibility”. Killing Willoughby was suspect’s ‘ultimate fantasy’, court told | Trial as it happened Prosecutors allege his past convictions – which included tying a teenager’s hands behind her back with rope and tape, and using an imitation firearm – showed he knew “what it would take to terrify and overpower a woman”. But Plumb, from Harlow, in Essex, unwittingly disclosed his plans to an undercover US police officer, who alerted the authorities in the UK and disrupted his plans to carry out “catastrophic violence” against Willoughby, the court heard. A jury was told he had more than 10,000 …

Holly Willoughby confirms major move following This Morning departure

Holly Willoughby’s first major move since leaving This Morning has been confirmed as the presenter will team up with Bear Grylls for a new Netflix show. Set to air in 2025, Holly will present Bear Hunt (working title), a gameshow where celebrities will be entered into a Central African rainforest. The celebrities will have to survive out in the wilderness and for those who fail to impress, they will be put into a ‘Bear Hunt’, a cat-and-mouse game where they will try and avoid Bear Grylls as he “hunts” them down.

Holly Willoughby to make Netflix show in first major move since This Morning | Netflix

Holly Willoughby has made her first major move since leaving This Morning, signing up to host a new Netflix show, Bear Hunt with Bear Grylls. In October she announced she was quitting the ITV show after 14 years “for me and my family” after it emerged she was the target of an alleged kidnap and murder plot. It followed a turbulent time for the presenter during which she and her co-host Phillip Schofield were criticised for alleged queue-jumping to see the queen lying in state, and Schofield departed after he admitted having an affair with a younger former colleague. Although Willoughby subsequently returned to ITV to continue presenting Dancing On Ice, there has been speculation she was being courted by other broadcasters, particularly as in 2022 she presented the BBC show Freeze the Fear. Netflix offers an opportunity for her to go global. In Bear Hunt she will front an action-packed competition show featuring an unlikely group of British celebrities trying to survive in a jungle and evade capture by Grylls. The series forms part …
