LONDON (AP) — A 36-year-old man was ordered to remain in custody after appearing in court on Friday in connection with an alleged plot to kidnap and murder Holly Willoughby, one of Britain's most high-profile television personalities. He is charged with soliciting a man named David Nelson to commit murder, and incitement to commit a kidnapping between Oct. 2 and 5 in Harlow, Essex. The other man was due to arrive in the U.K. next week from the U.S., the court heard. “This news has come as a huge shock to everyone at 'This Morning' and ITV," an ITV spokesperson said. "We are providing all of the support we can to Holly and her family at this incredibly distressing time.”

Fighter jets escorted an aircraft to an airport in London after it lost communications, per BBC News. This came shortly after people heard a "loud bang," which some thought was a sonic boom. Some plane spotters believe it might have been a sonic boom caused by the fast movement of the RAF jets. Essex Police tweeted that a plane heading from Iceland to Nairobi, Kenya was escorted into Stansted at about 12.50pm UK time. Departures from another London airport were reportedly suspended for around 15 minutes, per BBC News.

Reuters could not find any evidence that Essex Police shared such a tweet, and the force itself has said the image is manipulated. The image does not show an authentic Twitter post, according to Essex Police.
