ITV presenter Holly Willoughby was absent from her hosting role on This Morning due to an alleged kidnapping plot, which was foiled by the police. Willoughby received threatening messages and was left shocked and distressed. A 36-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the conspiracy. Alison Hammond replaced Willoughby on the show without providing an explanation. This incident comes during a challenging period for Willoughby, following her former co-host Phillip Schofield's admission of an affair.
