Holly Willoughby has reportedly moved out of her $5.85 million family mansion two months after stalker Gavin Plumb was jailed for his kidnap, rape and murder plot.

The TV presenter, 43, stepped down from This Morning after 14 years and disappeared from public life following the discovery of his terrifying threats.

However, in a sign that she may be putting her ordeal behind her, Ms Willoughby, pictured, is set to leave her home of ten years.

Removal vans have been spotted outside the six-bedroom London property where she lived with her husband, TV producer Dan Baldwin, and their three children.

A source said: “The house was central to Plumb’s terrifying plot.

“It can never feel the same again for Holly and her family. She just wants to move on and put this all behind her.”

After Plumb was jailed in July for life with a minimum term of 16 years, Ms Willoughby issued a statement thanking the police and her legal team as well as his previous victims.

“Without their bravery, this conviction may not have been possible,” she said.

“As women, we should not be made to feel unsafe going about our daily lives and in our own homes.”

Ms Willoughby appeared back on TV screens in January after Plumb was arrested in front of Dancing On Ice and has also been busy filming the Netflix show Bear Hunt with Bear Grylls.

Ms Willoughby’s representatives were asked for a comment.
