A security guard accused of hatching a plan to kidnap, rape and murder Holly Willoughby has said he is “heartbroken, disgusted and shocked” that his online chats about the alleged plot have come out.

Gavin Plumb told Chelmsford Crown Court his “dark” discussions were “massively regrettable”, but insisted the alleged plans were “a fantasy” and not real.
