Ex-partner of man who plotted to kill Holly Willoughby says he tracked her down while hatching plan to kidnap star

THE ex-partner of the man who plotted to kill Holly Willoughby says  he  tracked her down while hatching his  plan to kidnap the star.

Laura Roberts, 38, said twisted Gavin Plumb broke a restraining order she had against him for 15 years.

Plumb, 37, sent the mum of four threatening messages via Facebook and travelled 100 miles to turn up at her door in  Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.

One message told her:  “Watch your back.” Another said their two kids “will get hurt”.

He added: “You have stopped me seeing my kids, now you are going to pay.”

Plumb, of Harlow, Essex,  went to her house in June last year despite Laura having  injunctions against him.

He was arrested over his Holly plan in October and was last week found guilty of plotting to kidnap, rape and murder the former This Morning host.

He will be sentenced on July 12.

Laura said: “When he was making his plan to go to Holly’s house and kidnap her, he actually did track me and the kids down.

"That is terrifying to me. I had court orders and he broke them. He is an evil predator.”
