The prosecution said they could tell it was a genuine plan because the details he outlined to potential accomplices contained nothing “sexy or gratifying” and were too boring to be purely fantasy.
The 37-year-old’s sexual motive for snatching TV presenter Holly, 43, was clear in his “appalling messages” to others online, Chelmsford crown court heard.
He is accused of attempting to live his “ultimate fantasy” and has been described by the prosecution as someone who had an “obsession” with Ms Willoughby.
During her closing speech, Alison Morgan KC said Plumb, who used the username “Big Bear” online, went to “great lengths to suggest to other people it was not fantasy”.
She said the defendant said “it’s really happening” when an undercover police officer sent him an image of a flight booking of another person her beleived was ”genuinely prepared to join him in his plan to attack Holly Willoughby”.
Ms Morgan also pointed to his previous convictions which she said showed he had a tendency to commit acts aimed at controlling and terrifying women.
She told jurors he is a man that has “done this for real”.
Plumb, of Harlow, Essex, denies soliciting murder, incitement to rape and incitement to kidnap.
The trial continues.
