There’s an awful lot of jealousy and animosity felt towards this young lady and it’s totally, totally unjustified !!


The majority see her for what she is .. a stunningly beautiful young lady … inside and out

Really glad this was dealt with.
People shouldn't have to live in fear of this happening no matter their job or who they are.

I'm no fan of her at all, it would be hypocritical of me to even pretend I was.
However I hope she will be protected and have all necessary support around her after this sinister trauma of a threat of being kidnapped.
Really awful.

Terribly worrying for Holly and her family. There are too many crazy people out there

I was worried this would happen. Probably quite a few other plots too. Let’s hope she is kept safe.

A man has been charged with soliciting to commit murder over a reported plot to kidnap TV presenter Holly Willoughby.

Gavin Plumb, 36, was arrested on Wednesday "as part of an ongoing investigation", said Essex Police.

He was also charged with incitement to commit kidnap.

Willoughby did not appear on Thursday's edition of ITV show This Morning. She was said to be under police protection at her home on Thursday night.

Essex police did not confirm whether Willoughby had been the target of the alleged plot, which was first reported in The Sun.

The newspaper said police had found "sinister messages" threatening to kidnap and "seriously harm" the star, adding that digital devices and a mobile phone were seized during the arrest.

In a statement, Detective Superintendent Rob Kirby said: "This was an extremely fast paced investigation, with many of our officers and national partners working overnight to secure these charges.

"The safeguarding of any victim is paramount and we will continue to prioritise this and working with the Metropolitan Police Service as the investigation proceeds."

Holly isn't a 16 year old boy so probably not.

The scary thing is, as no aspect of the plot ever went beyond "planning stage", he likely won't go away for very long. Imagine knowing that someone who was apparently actively planning something like this for you is just... out there? :umm2:

Jill Dando is all i will say to thatShe was murdered because she was gonna speak out about the paedo rings in Saville's friendship group. That's why nobody has been caught for that. Yet.

[Livia]

Alfie, I love you dearly... but you are king of the conspiracy theory.

I don't see the point of simpering Holly, she's a dress-up doll, vacuous queen of the pretty frock. But the police would not get involved if this was a ploy to boost her popularity. They're arrested someone, so there was substance to it.

Stupid things Alf
sometimes says.

Phil would not Rape her
he is into boys.

[Gusto Brunt]

He sounds a very dangerous man.

He should be locked up for life, but no doubt he'll have a few leftie lawyers on his side helping him to get out early.

Once he's jailed.

Of course he could get a barmy leftie Judge who will give him a suspended sentence.

[Alf]

Well done the Old bill "smashing" this cunning plan (2 text messages sent by some housebound agoraphobic to a 12 year old in Colorado pretending to be a Mafia Boss)

meanwhile burglary crimes solved in Essex At 1.8% and around 50 cars stolen to order per day

You know that Haribo ad with the two "Police Officers" sat in a car eating Haribo, doing nothing and talking like children? Oh and one being massively overweight? That's suppose to be a "silly/funny" ad, yet it's un-ironically the most apt and realistic ad on TV atm.

tabloid utter nonsense

Okay I've got my answer.

Honestly sounds like a sick ****.

Stupid decision to kidnap her to kill her. That's just sitting to many eggs in the one basket, and adding complications to the end goal.

Nahhhh something about this whole thing is massively off :think:

[bots]

the intelligence service has failed to stop people that are on their watch lists, but in the space of 24 hours they were able to identify, stop and charge some complete unknown and identify who he was communicating with abroad. Getting a warrant and requesting the data from isp's typically takes a couple of weeks. ISP's wouldn't respond within 24 hours.

There are big red flags all over this story

[arista]

She should go back on TV.


He is arrested.

Now, can the Police smash the plot to who murdered Jill Dando on a London street in broad daylight?
