TV presenter Holly Willoughby has said women “should not be made to feel unsafe … in our own homes” after a security guard was convicted of masterminding a plot to kidnap, rape and murder her.

The Dancing on Ice star thanked an undercover officer who helped foil Gavin Plumb’s plans and for understanding the “imminent threat” to her life.
