plotting to kidnap, rape and murder Holly Willoughby, one of Britain’s most high-profile television personalities.At the sentencing hearing at Chelmsford Crown Court, around 40 miles (65 kilometers) east of London, Judge Edward Murray told Gavin Plumb, 37, that he would have to serve a minimum term of 16 years before he can be eligible for parole.Plumb was found guilty by a jury last week following an eight-day trial.“Over a number of years, you pursued an unhealthy sexual obsession with Holly Willoughby that led you ultimately to plan over that period to kidnap, to rape and to murder her,” the judge said.
