Rishi Sunak expresses his sympathy to Holly Willoughby following an alleged attempt to kidnap her.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has voiced his support for Holly Willoughby after news of an alleged kidnap plot emerged. A 36-year-old man has been charged and named in relation to the plot to kidnap the This Morning presenter.

Holly, 42, pulled out of Thursday's show and police are reportedly guarding her London home. Prime Minister Sunak appeared on Friday's episode of This Morning to speak about the new changes to smoking bans and his HS2 announcement. But before discussing those topics, he spoke about Holly and expressed his sympathies.

"Before we get going, I was going to say, I'm so sorry to hear about everything that's going on with Holly," said the Prime Minister. "I just wanted to send my best to her and her family, and to all of you."

Hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary thanked him for sending his support and assured him that Holly would appreciate it. They opened the show by addressing the news and sending their love to Holly and her family. Guest Gyles Brandreth also added, "A big hug to Holly. It's a rough, tough world at times."

The public have also sent messages of support to the presenter. Fans have taken to social media to send their love to Holly, with one person writing: ‘Sending big love to Holly. Nobody should be as frightened as she must be right now.’

Lorraine Kelly sent her 'love and best wishes' to Holly on her ITV daytime programme, saying: ‘We are sending Holly all of our love and best wishes, that is a terrible thing to be having to go through for her and her family.’

The suspect is not known to Holly, it has been reported, and ITV bosses were alerted to the alleged plot on Thursday morning. Josie Gibson and Alison Hammond filled in for Holly that day, and This Morning continues to air weekdays from 10am on ITV1.
