LONDON (AP) — A man has been given a life sentence for plotting to kidnap, rape and murder Holly Willoughby, one of Britain’s most high-profile television personalities.

Murray said Plumb, a 37-year-old former security guard,  had an “unhealthy obsession” with Willoughby and that he posed a serious threat to all women.
