A security guard accused of masterminding a plot to kidnap, rape and murder Holly Willoughby said the things he would do to her would put him “death row”, a court has heard.

Jurors were told Gavin Plumb communicated with a number of people online about Ms Willoughby, with one man, who turned out to be an undercover police officer, being told of his plans to “put her into a lake at night” when he had finished raping her.
