Man Denies Genuine Intent in Holly Willoughby Kidnap Plot Case

Gavin Plumb claims disturbing online conversations were fantasy and not a real plan, as court hears details of his troubled past and mental health struggles.

Plumb, accused of plotting to kidnap, rape, and murder Holly Willoughby, insists his online chats were not serious.
He describes his interactions with an undercover officer and another man as 'massively regrettable' but purely fictional.
The defendant spent 99.9% of his time online due to severe weight issues and mental health problems.
Plumb's past includes convictions for attempted kidnapping, which he claims were attempts to escape a toxic relationship.
The court was shown footage of Plumb's arrest, where he expressed shock and described Willoughby as a 'fantasy.'
