The Plot to Kill Holly Willoughby
The Plot to Kill Holly Willoughby
In July 2024, 37-year-old Gavin Plumb was convicted of soliciting the kidnap, rape and murder of Holly Willoughby, having spent nearly a decade developing a twisted fixation on the TV presenter. He amassed tens of thousands of images, tracked her movements, researched her home and security arrangements, and had recruited other like-minded men to help turn his sick sexual fantasies into reality. This programme lifts the lid on the truth behind this shocking case, using Plumb's own words to illustrate his horrific plan, while experts in criminal psychology and stalking behaviour chart his pathological obsession, enabled by the dark underbelly of the internet and fuelled by his hatred of women
The Plot to Kill Holly Willoughby airs on 5 at 10:30 PM, Monday 5 May. (Subtitles, repeat.)
