The security guard accused of plotting to kidnap, rape, and murder Holly Willoughby reacted to Philip Schofield leaving This Morning by saying, ‘I’m so tempted to message Phil and say to him “Look do you wanna get payback?”‘, a court has heard.
Gavin Plumb, 37, was arrested on October 4 last year after striking up an online relationship with an undercover police officer. The jury has seen images of a ‘bondage kit’ collected by security, as they learned about his plans to keep the TV star in an abandoned stud farm with ‘cells’.
He sent a photo of chloroform to a dark web contact, discussing using it on the ITV star and her husband. Plumb also sent a video to a potential accomplice showing items laid out on a bed.
The trial continues as Plumb denies soliciting murder, incitement to rape, and incitement to kidnap. The case sheds light on a disturbing plot that has captured attention.
