A man accused of plotting to kidnap, rape and murder Holly Willoughby scouted a farm that had cells, ordered two bottles of chloroform online and had ankle shackles laid out on his bed, a court has heard.

Gavin Plumb (37), of Harlow, Essex, is said to have researched an empty farm in the country to “keep” the former This Morning presenter in while he gathered metal cable ties, handcuffs and a blindfold.
