HOLLY Willoughby is said to be in constant contact with ITV bosses after a man was accused of plotting to kidnap and murder her. <\/p>\n

Gavin Plumb, 36,\u00a0appeared in court on Friday over the "detailed plan" after police swooped on his\u00a0Essex\u00a0home\u00a0two days prior. <\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The 35-stone father of two was arrested after cops got a tip-off about his alleged plans, which were said to have involved a US "hitman". <\/p>\n

ITV bosses have today given an update on the This Morning\u00a0presenter's future at the company after Holly stepped back from her TV work and missed an awards event at the weekend. <\/p>\n

In an email sent out to staff, and seen by The Sun, the ITV Daytime managing director said they were supporting Holly as much as they could through the "distressing time". <\/p>\n

Boss Emma Gormley said she knew many staff had also been "deeply affected" by the news of the alleged plot. <\/p>\n

She said many would be wondering when the host would return, but that at this stage they were focusing on the "safety and wellbeing" of Holly and her family.<\/p>\n

Ms Gormley's email read: "I wanted to reassure you that throughout this distressing time, we have been in constant contact with Holly and the authorities and we are providing all the support we can.<\/p>\n

"Inevitably there is already speculation about when Holly will return. However, our priority right now is the safety and wellbeing of Holly and her family." <\/p>\n

It is understood that officers found chloroform, cable ties, a blindfold and ropes at Plumb\u2019s home when they raided it last week. <\/p>\n

They believed this could have been part of a \u201ckidnap and restraint kit\u201d.<\/p>\n

It emerged cops also believe Plumb tried to recruit a "hitman" in the US to carry out the plot.<\/p>\n

Officers thought the "hitman" was set to travel to the UK to carry out the plan as\u00a0early as next week.<\/p>\n

After swooping on Plumb's home, police charged him with soliciting to commit murder and incitement to commit kidnap.<\/p>\n

Holly was quickly put under round-the-clock surveillance when details of the alleged plot emerged.<\/p>\n

Police\u00a0officers have been stationed outside the London home she shares with husband\u00a0Dan Baldwin and their three children.<\/p>\n

Bosses at This Morning were alerted to the alleged plot on Thursday morning and the presenter decided to pull out shortly before she was due on air.<\/p>\n

The next day Plumb appeared in Chelmsford magistrates\u2019\u00a0court\u00a0wearing a green T-shirt with the slogan \u201cAged to Perfection\u201d.<\/p>\n
