Gavin Plumb was obsessed with Holly Willoughby (Photo: Gareth Cattermole/Getty)Morbidly obese and virtually housebound, he had appeared on the BBC between 2017 to 2018 discussing his health issues with weight, and detailed how he had had gastric surgery to control it.
And for around a decade before October 2023, he had been obsessed with television presenter Holly Willoughby.
What did Gavin Plumb do to Holly Willoughby?
He had scoured social media and material online, amassing thousands of images of her and gaining detailed knowledge of her activity, filming commitments and home security arrangements.
He was looking to recruit one or more accomplices to help him carry out his plan, which was to invade her London home, subdue her husband with chloroform, and use the couple’s young children as leverage.
His preparation included assembling a “kidnap kit”, with handcuffs, 400 metal cable ties, leg shackles, a pocketknife, and bottles of chloroform. He had also been searching for imitation firearms online.
The officer had been working undercover as forum member David Nelson and became involved in discussions with Plumb about his plot regarding Willoughby.

How long was Gavin Plumb jailed for and where is he now?
Sentencing him, Mr Justice Murray said: “I have no hesitation in concluding that each of your three offences is one of very high culpability, having regard, in particular, to the sexual motivation for your offending and your intention to inflict extreme and gratuitous degradation on your victim.
“There is no doubt that if you had genuinely found one or more accomplices who were seriously interested and had been willing to join you in carrying your plan through, then you would have put this plan into action.”
