News about Dan Baldwin

Holly Willoughby never wants to speak to Phillip Schofield again after hearing how he calls her 'The Witch'.  The presenter, 43, has ruled out any reconciliation with her former best friend, 62, who reportedly sent her message on WhatsApp the day before news of his This Morning axe became public, claiming she had 'brought him down'.  Tensions between the pair reached further heights when Phil boldly declared there were 'three s**ts' at ITV on his Channel 5 show Cast Away last week. 

Holly Willoughby was spotted putting on a loving display with her husband Dan Baldwin in the audience at the National Television Awards on Wednesday. The couple, who have been married since 2007, made a rare joint appearance at the awards ceremony as the former This Morning host made her red carpet return. Holly, 43, bowed out of the spotlight last year following a kidnap and murder threat which saw her quit her job on the ITV daytime show.

The Repair Shop host Jay Blades has revealed he will front a new Channel 5 series where he will explore the rich tapestry of a country house's history. Jay Blades: A Country House Through Time is the latest in a string of new factual programmes the presenter is hosting, and will see the presenter explore a series of stately homes. In the four-part series, Jay will retrace the steps of the Bridgeman family and their servants, starting from the Georgian era, through the Victorian and Edwardian times, and up to the 20th Century. 

An unexpected knock on Holly Willoughby's door on a dark night last October changed her life for ever. On her doorstep were police officers who told her that, just hours earlier, they had foiled a plot to kidnap, rape and murder her. The accused, security guard Gavin Plumb, was now in custody. Friends of the TV presenter tell me she was 'numb... dumbfounded' at the revelation - but, most of all, was 'truly terrified'. As the police spoke to her and with her husband, TV executive Dan Baldwin, at her side, I'm told Holly, all too understandably, 'descended into an absolute state'.

Throughout his life Gavin Plumb has had a problem with women. The youngest of three brothers, the 37-year-old 'mummy's boy' from Harlow, Essex, started life in a council house with his father, Adrian Broad, and his mother. His parents' marriage did not last, and when his mum wed a security guard, the children took the surname Plumb. A half-brother followed. The boys' biological father, who also remarried, would barely feature in his sons' lives from then onwards.

Chilling voice recordings have revealed the depths of Gavin Plumb's depraved plot to kidnap, rape and murder TV star Holly Willoughby. The 'obsessed' security guard had spent more than two years meticulously planning his brutal attack, gleefully sharing details of his plot with associates. The 37-year-old intended to ambush the former This Morning presenter at her London home, using chloroform to knock Ms Willoughby and her husband Dan Baldwin. Plumb then aimed to take her to an isolated 'dungeon' he described as 'death row', where he would hold the star, repeatedly raping her before slitting her throat and murdering her. The horrifying voice notes were played to Chelmsford Crown Court where Plumb - who was today convicted by a jury for his nightmarish scheme - can be heard describing how he would carry out his depraved attack.

Gavin Plumb, 37, planned to 'stupefy and tie up' former This Morning presenter Willoughby, 43, as part of a sordid 'ultimate fantasy'. Plumb planned to snatch Holly - who has waived her right to anonymity - from her home, using chloroform to knock out the presenter and her husband, Dan Baldwin. The heavy-set brute then wanted to take Holly to a 'dungeon', where he would use a 'restraint kit' he bought online to tie her up, repeatedly rape and then murder her. Plumb's 'graphic' plan to violate and slaughter the mother-of-three was exposed after he told them to an undercover police officer in the USA, who alerted cops in the UK. And today a jury found the shopping centre security guard guilty of soliciting murder, incitement to kidnap and incitement to rape.

Gavin Plumb allegedly planned to chloroform the former This Morning presenter and her husband Dan Baldwin before taking her to a 'dungeon' that he described as 'death row'. The 37-year-old kept hundreds of photos of Ms Willoughby on his phone, three of which were shown to the jury. Horrifying voice notes were played to Chelmsford Crown Court where Plumb can be heard describing the alleged plot.

Here we go again: I was shocked to learn that senior Tory MP William Wragg, the vice chairman of the distinguished 1922 committee, was trapped in a honey trap. Not only had he revealed himself intimately to a stranger on social media, but he'd also passed on the personal phone numbers of MPs, including a minister, in an attempt to prevent himself from being humiliated publicly. An MP's behavior is being investigated by police, who may have deemed this as a "malicious exchange." But let's get to the point here.

Dan Baldwin, the show's original date show Blind Date, has returned 39 years since its first episode. Following the successful relaunch of Gladiators and Wheel of Fortune, he begged Claudia Winkleman, 52, to host the illustrious show. Dan, who is behind the Gladiators' revival, announced that he wants to relaunch the dating show, which was previously hosted by Cilla Black.

The TV mogul who married Holly Willoughby has already profited from a lucrative BBC deal to rebuild the redesigned Gladiators. Producer Dan Baldwin has discovered a way to make more money from the show's hottest new talent by establishing a talent agency to represent almost all of the show's hottest new actors. At least 12 of the 16 Gladiators have contracted Hungry Bear Talent, guaranteeing him a cut of future earnings if their fame soares on the back of their BBC appearances.

After he repaired her late husband's watch, Dame Judi Dench and Jay Blades are expected to appear in their own Channel 4 film. Dame Judi, an actress who died in 89, has said she 'dotes' on restorer Jay, 53, after she helped fix her late husband Michael Williams' watch and engrave it with his initials during a live session of the Edinburgh TV Festival in 2022. According to Holly Willoughby's husband Dan Baldwin, the pair have already started filming a fly-on-the-wall program for Channel 4!

"I like Bradley Walsh, but he is never off the TV screen," writes Graham Deacon of Liverpool. 'Bradley, please give us a break!' Many more readers are making the same argument, and they aren't alone. He's everywhere: actor, comedian, singer, quiz host, special guest, and not least Barney's doting dad, who is a teenager all-rounder himself.

Holly Willoughby put the gruesome alleged kidnap and murder scheme into perspective for her first trip out to a public place since leaving This Morning (inset with former co-host Phillip Schofield). After months of being too afraid to leave her house, the host, who announced her exit from the ITV show in October, put on a brave face to join her family for a Christmas lunch yesterday (left). Holly, 42, was seen leaving the restaurant near her house in south west London dressed in a camel coat, red jumpsuit, and gold stiletto heels (right), with her mother Linda, husband Dan Baldwin, and a group of friends.

Holly Willoughby has postponed her family's holiday to ­Portugal because she is too afraid to leave the house. Ms Willoughby, who announced on Tuesday that she would not be returning to This Morning after presenting the daytime TV show for 14 years, will not be going to her Algarve home with her children as she does during the October half-term. The 42-year-old star of This Morning is believed to be too ill to leave her house, which has been under police watch since it was discovered that Gavin Plumb, 36, was planning to kidnap and murder her. Ms Willoughby and her three children, Harry, 14, Belle, 12, and nine-year-old Chester, will remain in the United Kingdom rather than going on holiday.

The host, who is being protected by police and a security team from ITV, has decided not to return until after the half-term break. The distraught star's, 42, was forced to make the decision after emotional discussions with senior ITV executives on Friday. They are now in the process of preparing Monday's episode of the daytime show with a stand-in host.

After his weight soared to 35 stone, Gavin Plumb, 36, of Harlow, Essex, outlined his day-to-day life in the 2018 documentary. Plumb, a security guard at a shopping center in Essex, had intended to make a'restraint kit' at home, where he had also stashed firearms, according to magistrates. The father-of-two, who worked at Pizza Hut and McDonald's in the past but who resigned because his weight became unmanagable, appeared in court for offences including soliciting to commit murder and incitement to murder. On his return to prison, he was seen sitting in the back of a custody van in a green t-shirt after his court hearing at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court. Plumb was arrested on Wednesday and found in possession of firearms after police confiscated his cellphone and other electronic equipment. This afternoon, he had devised a'detailed scheme' and had to reach out to a hitman in the United States to murder the TV host, 42, Chelmsford Magistrates' Court heard this afternoon.

Gavin Plumb, 36, has been charged with murder solicitation and nap incitement. According to a Neighbours website, he is the man who was arrested by Essex Police for the suspected murder. Plumb was the star of a BBC documentary on weight loss in 2018, he kept a diary for the company after going from 35 to 35 after gorging on junk food and downing an average of 36 pints of cola per week. According to his LinkedIn, he seems to have worked for Pizza Hut until 2012, but said he was unable to work because he couldn't leave his house, and he wasn't going to leave his house for at least four years starting in 2014. Plumb told the BBC: "I went out unaided for the last time" and it was my parents' wedding vow renewal. My weight has always fluctuated. I was 35 and a half inches at my heaviest when I was weighed in. My mental stability went into decline as the weight began to pile on.' Plumb, 36, will appear in the dock at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court on Friday. Tim Tubbs, the Essex Police superintendent, described it as a "very fast-paced probe, with many of our officers and national partners working overnight to get these charges.' Any victim's protection is vital, and we will continue to prioritize this and cooperating with the Metropolitan police service as the probe progresses.'

On Friday, Gavin Plumb, 36, will appear in the dock at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court, being accused of soliciting murder and incitement to murder. As friends and colleagues gathered around her, Scotland Yard was said to be watching the mother-of-three's house in south-west London. Holly was left 'distraught' and pulled out of This Morning this week after learning of a plot to kidnap her, according to the story. If confirmed to be true, LBC breakfast host Nick Ferrari was supposed to appear on the show with her on Thursday and said, 'Best wishes to her and her families.' On the day of her arrest, Willoughby was scheduled to honor her television actress husband Dan Baldwin's 48th birthday.

RICHARD EDEN: Holly's professional life seems slightly less spickless than average following Philip Schofield's abrupt departure from ITV following his admission of a clandestine affair with a male colleague more than 30 years his junior. Roxy Media Ltd, a sole proprietorship run by her husband and television director Dan Baldwin, was supposed to have filed their annual accounts in August, but she has yet to do so. The same holds true for Wylde Moon, her fledgling lifestyle brand, who claims that Holly's website, which is located on her website, is "an ever-evolving journey of self-discovery." In fact, those accounts were due in July.

In a loving post on Wednesday, Holly Willoughby kissed her husband Dan Baldwin on the cheek as she wish him a happy birthday. The host, 42, who rarely gives a glimpse into her marriage, honored the television producer's day by posting a sweet snapshot of them on Instagram. Holly and Dan, 49, may have been at a festival from over the summer with the stage visible in the background.

ALISON BOSHOFF: No one will be more eager to see the success of the BBC's resurgent Gladiators than television executive Dan Baldwin - also known as Mr Holly Willoughby. Not only is he presenting the Beeb via his company Hungry Bear, but he also made a rash move by establishing a talent agency to represent all the new faces he hopes for. This 'new generation of superhumans' (that's according to the Beeb) has contracted with the HB corporation, which was surprisingly established by Baldwin in June, right before the show was shot.

On Sunday, Holly Willoughby shared a glimpse into her heavenly Italian anniversary trip with her husband Dan Baldwin. The 42-year-old This Morning presenter took to Instagram to share the gorgeous snaps with her followers. The pair's snaps were discovered after Phillip Schofield mysteriously deleted a number of images of the pair from his Instagram account.

Dan Baldwin, Holly Willoughby's husband, has reportedly 'launched his own talent agency.' The move comes three years after the presenter, 42, left the showbiz firm with whom she worked with her former This Morning co-star Phillip Schofield. Dan, 48, who also owns television company Hungry Bear Media, has founded HB Talent Agency, according to a recent survey.
