Holly Willoughby has reportedly moved out of her £3million family mansion – two months after stalker Gavin Plumb was jailed for his kidnap, rape and murder plot.
The TV presenter, 43, stepped down from presenting This Morning after 14 years on the show due to the terrifying kidnap threat and subsequently took time out from the spotlight.
But in a sign that she may be moving past the horror ordeal and starting fresh, Holly is set to move out of her home, according to The Sun.
Pictures obtained by the publication saw removal vans outside the six-bed London property – where Holly has lived for 10 years.
A source said: ‘The house was central to Plumb’s terrifying plot.

The television presenter’s deranged stalker Gavin Plumb, 37, who had plotted to kidnap, rape and murder her, was jailed for a minimum of 16 years in July
‘It can never feel the same again for Holly and her family. She just wants to move on and put this all behind her.’
MailOnline has contacted Holly’s representatives for comment.
After Holly’s stalker Gavin was sentenced, she released an empowering statement, thanking the police and her legal team who brought him to justice.
She said: ‘As women we should not be made to feel unsafe going about our daily lives and in our own homes.
‘I will forever be grateful to the undercover police officer who understood the imminent threat, and to the Metropolitan and Essex police forces for their swift response.
‘Thank you to the Crown Prosecution Service, the Rt Hon Mr Justice Murray, Alison Morgan KC, the members of the jury and all involved in this case for ensuring that justice was done and that the defendant will not be able to harm any more women.
‘I would also like to commend the bravery of his previous victims for speaking up at the time. Without their bravery this conviction may not have been possible.’
Holly’s ex co-presenter Phillip Schofield left the show after admitting to an affair with a younger colleague and lying to his co-star when questioned about the mounting speculation.
After she returned to the ITV programme without him, Holly was mocked for the statement she made addressing the nation, asking whether viewers were ‘okay’ following the revelation.
Morbidly obese Plumb claimed he wasn’t physically capable of abducting the former This Morning presenter, had no one qualified to drive to her London home, and that vile conversations he had with ‘like-minded’ people in dark recesses of the internet were ‘just online chat’

For the first time in her career she’s now a ‘free agent’ and is keen to explore opportunities across the pond and draw a line under her domestic troubles
She then faced a further setback as Plumb was arrested for an alleged plot to kidnap and murder her, leaving her terrified.
According to reports, she was too afraid to leave her house after Plumb was charged for the crime, forcing her off-air for months.
She deliberated over whether to present Dancing On Ice with new co-host Stephen Mulhern, finally deciding to return to work in the New Year.
The presenter made her TV return in January with Dancing On Ice and has been busy filming Netflix show Bear Hunt with Bear Grylls.
The show will see former SAS trooper Bear hunting down the celebrity contestants in order to eliminate them from the programme.
She is also set front an ITV reboot of the iconic 90s challenge show, You Bet!, alongside her Dancing On Ice co-host Stephen Mulhern.
Previously fronted by Darren Day, as well as the late Bruce Forsyth and Matthew Kelly, the beloved programme will return to ITV1 and ITVX with two action-packed primetime event specials this autumn.
As the classic show gets a revival, members of the public will use their unique abilities to pull off the most outrageous challenges imaginable, all for the chance of winning a big cash prize.
It comes after Holly made a triumphant red carpet return at the NTAs earlier this month after stepping back significantly from public life.
The TV presenter, who co-led This Morning for 14 years, beamed as she posed for a photo alongside This Morning regulars Alison Hammond and Rochelle Humes.
Rochelle wrapped her arms around Holly, alongside Davina McCall, while fellow This Morning stars Dermot O’Leary and Ashley James were also present in the snap.
On the red carpet, Holly shared a kiss with Dermot and a laugh with Alison as the gang were reunited at the 02 London.
Holly looked incredible in a glistening strapless dark silver dress with a high split and a extra-long train.
Dermot, 51, wore a classic black tuxedo with a white shirt but opted for a black tie rather than a bowtie.

Earlier that day Holly was joined at the event by Louise Redknapp, Davina McCall, Ashley Roberts, Gareth Southgate, and Princess Beatrice, amongst a host of other famous faces.
BGC Group’s annual charity day commemorates those whose lives were lost on 9/11 by providing their global revenues to hundreds of charities.
