Operating with a photo of Holly as his user pic, Plumb told his new pal he had a “s**tload” of information on her.”He was very close to me and was leaning over and I could feel his breath on me.

Due to Holly’s fame, Plumb would need an accomplice to help him ambush the star before raping then murdering her.After being searched on the platform he was found to be carrying a fake black handgun and three pieces of rope.”So I wondered, should I get off? He whispered in my ear that he was a special officer and was undercover.After being sentenced to two years in prison he was then released in 2010.

The officer even wrote in his report that Holly “may be in immediate danger of death”.”His hand was massive. It was like a huge paw. I felt physically sick, he repulsed me then and I am still haunted by it now.”Then he just got off at the next stop. I stayed in my seat. It was like I was frozen to the spot.And Nelson had relayed all the information from the “credible” plan to both the FBI and police.

“It is a quiet station and I hate to think about what might have happened.This, the court was told, showed how serious he was in recruiting a genuine accomplice to carry out the plan with him.FOR years Gavin Plumb trawled the murky depths of the internet hoping to find someone to help him live out his “ultimate fantasy”.”I said nothing and waited to see what would happen. It was scary because the carriage was deserted but it was daytime.The woman added: “I am so thankful to this day that I didn’t get off the train with him.Sat at the kitchen table in the home where she now lives in France, his first known victim recalled how Plumb, 37, bent down to her and motioned for her to remain silent.”I know who Holly is because I have seen her on TV and she seems to be a lovely person.

TRAIN PREDATOR

Given the level of threat, police swooped on Plumb’s home on October 4 last year.”I still worry about that now sometimes.”In fact, when he met Nelson he believed “after years of planning he had finally found someone who didn’t appear to have cold feet”.Yesterday he was found guilty for trying to kidnap, rape and murder TV star Holly after an eight day trial.Stung in the past by associates who got “cold feet”, the security guard was wary Nelson would actually travel to the UK to help him.He held the two teenagers at knifepoint and bound one of their hands together in a storage room at the store where they all worked.The French air hostess, who requested to remain anonymous due to continued fears for her safety, told how she is still “haunted” by the day that twisted Gavin Plumb attempted to bundle her off a train as she sat alone on her way to Stansted Airport.

CREEP JAILED

A WOMAN who narrowly escaped a kidnap attempt by Gavin Plumb has labelled him a “dangerous predator” – and said Holly Willoughby is only safe now he is back behind bars.But in reality, the true fantasy was Plumb believing someone out there could truly be as sick as him.To calm his fears, Nelson sent Plumb a flight booking – causing the security guard to swear and gush: “It’s really happening.”The security guard had grown obsessed with the idea of kidnapping not just anyone but daytime TV royalty Holly Willoughby.The woman last night added: “The sentence for all of his previous attacks was not enough clearly.Footage showed the security guard without a top on as he asked officers what was going on.He then flashed an ID card and handed her a piece of paper that read: “I am a police officer. You have to get off at the next station for a quick chat.”During the course of their investigation cops then discovered he had tried to kidnap a SECOND Ryanair worker whilst she was on her way to work in the same week.

He then told cops Holly was “fantasy of mine”.”He flashed a card and said, ‘There you go.’ It was like he showed me an ID card or something but it was so quick.
