Holly Willoughby kidnap plotter Gavin Plumb once sang an awful rendition of the Liverpool FC anthem You'll Never Walk Alone, which has been immortalised online.

A video of the tune, first posted on his Facebook page, has been viewed on YouTube 2,000 times.

In the video, twisted Plumb apologises for his awful singing, but goes on to belt out the classic for more than four minutes.

His Facebook page, still online, shows that when Plumb was not fantasising about kidnapping celebrities, he appeared to support the causes of the victims of the Hillsborough disaster, with a number of posts appearing to be in support of their cause, alongside the video.

Plumb was today found guilty of plotting to kidnap, rape and murder former This Morning presenter Holly Willoughby.

Mr Justice Murray thanked the jury at Chelmsford Crown Court and discharged them today (Thursday, July 4), saying they took their role "very seriously". He told the defendant he would be remanded in custody until his sentencing hearing next Friday. Plumb sobbed as he was taken away to the cells.

Plumb, from Harlow, Essex, had denied soliciting murder, inciting kidnap and inciting rape. The 37-year-old was accused of developing an obsession with the mother-of-three and encouraging others online to carry out his alleged plans alongside him to live out his "ultimate fantasy".

Prosecutor Alison Morgan KC told the jury during her closing speech Plumb went to “great lengths to suggest to other people it was not fantasy" under the online username "Big Bear". The court heard Plumb told a man, named Marc, that "fantasy isn't enough any more" and "I want the real thing".

Plumb was accused of conspiring online with a man he knew as David Nelson who turned out to be an undercover officer from Minnesota, in the United States.

Ms Morgan previously showed the jury a photograph of an alleged "abduction kit" which was assembled by the defendant and shared with Mr Nelson. The "kit" included metal cable ties and handcuffs.

The barrister also said there was a "nasty reality" to Plumb and he "shocked even those who were prepared to fantasise with him" - adding that he was "intent on making this happen".

"He told Marc again and again he was going to attempt this at some point, with or without others," Ms Morgan told the court.

She told the court: "It was the fantasy of rape and abduction that gave him the gratification."

Ms Wass also stated: "He had neither the means nor the opportunity to carry out any of the things he mentioned in his chats."

She told the jury Plumb's messages were "vile and misogynistic" and said "Plumb himself accepts they're dark".

Ms Wass said during her closing speech he "will never meet and had no intention of meeting" Ms Willoughby.

She told the court Plumb has a "dark and twisted fantasy, but a fantasy nonetheless" ahead of the jury's deliberations.
