A shopping centre security officer, Gavin Plumb, is set to stand trial in Chelmsford Crown Court, accused of a chilling plot to kidnap and murder TV presenter Holly Willoughby. Plumb faces charges of soliciting murder and incitement to commit kidnap.
The 37-year-old allegedly conspired online with another man, David Nelson, who was to travel from the US to the UK. Together, they created a “detailed plan” for the alleged offences, including assembling a “kidnap and restraint kit.”
