Marco’s son plumbs new depths on Big Brother

HAPPY Fathers’ Day to all dads, dads-to-be and dads at heart. Your children may not necessarily make you proud but at least you are spared the misery of celebrity chef Marco Pierre White, whose son Marco Junior has just been voted out of the Big Brother House after disgracing himself. The tattooed-all-over model is indulging in xrated antics on live television, prompting hundreds of complaints of obscenity to the regulator. He boasts about spending part of his father’s fortune on prostitutes and drug binges while, according to newspaper reports, the 20-year-old has run up massive debts for luxury goods since his multimillionaire father removed his credit card.

Marco Junior has had everything handed to him on – excuse the pun – a plate. A privileged education, smart connections, fast cars, a beautiful home in one of the world’s greatest capitals and free run of any number of luxury pads.

Yet the idiotic rich kid has ended up on a show that is the last refuge for the desperate and bankrupt and has dragged it down to a new low of vulgar exhibitionism and moronic chit-chat.

Before he joined up, his famous father, worried no doubt about his business reputation, banned his stupid son from talking about him on air. Marco Junior has been discreet on that score but his lewd conduct has given the celebrity chef something else to keep him awake at night.
