TV host Holly Willoughby has put the horror of her kidnap plot behind her — by moving out of the £3million family home at the centre of the twisted plan.
Removal vans were seen this week outside the property, just two months after security guard Gavin Plumb was jailed over his bid to ambush the presenter at the house.

Plumb, who was given three life sentences, planned to sedate the mother-of-three and her TV producer husband Dan Baldwin after jumping the wall and breaking in.
He then wanted to drive the star to an abandoned location where she would be murdered.
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.”
Removal men were seen on Friday at the six-bed house in London, where Holly has lived for more than a decade.

She ended her 14-year stint on ITV’s This Morning after Plumb’s plot came to light last year.
Obese Plumb, 37, developed an obsession with Holly, 43, spanning over a decade.
He had more than 10,000 images of her on his phone when he was arrested at his Essex home after trying to recruit an accomplice for the plot — who turned out to be an undercover US cop.
It took police more than six months to go through just ten per cent of material on his devices.
He shared Google Earth images of her family home with potential accomplices and spoke of taking a tour of ITV’s studios to assess the potential for kidnapping her.
Plumb accumulated a “kidnap kit” of restraints and researched Holly’s home.
He allegedly told the US undercover cop he had been talking to online: “We’ll jump the outer wall, break in, chloroform both her and her husband. Tie both up with zip ties and gag both.”
His trial heard he bought 400 metal cable ties, as well as bottles of chloroform to knock out the star.
In 2006, aged 19, Plumb got a suspended sentence for attempting to kidnap two air stewardesses from trains.
Two years later, he took two 16-year-old shop girls hostage while working as a security guard.
Plumb, of Harlow, Essex, was sentenced at Chelmsford crown court in July and must serve a minimum of 15 years in jail.
Brave Holly, who previously posted snaps on social media of her home, said in a statement read to the court: “As women, we should not be made to feel unsafe going about our daily lives and in our own homes.”
