Marco Jr: I’m on medical heroin.. it’s mad sh * t

New fears for chef’s troubled son

- BY LEWIS PANTHER

THE troubled son of TV chef Marco Pierre White has admitted he is taking “mad sh*t” medical heroin.

Marco Jr filmed himself in a rambling social media video in which he said he had been kicked out of a nightclub near his dad’s flagship country restaurant outside Bath.

Lying in a darkened room, he giggled, slurred and swore as he told 78,000 followers on Instagram Live how he was on “pharmaceut­ical heroin”.

Shirtless Marco Jr, 22, mumbled: “So I went out last week in Bath. I got kicked out. I got barred again.

“But I’ve been barred about 100 times. It doesn’t bother me. I’ll probably get barred again.”

When one of his followers messaged him saying “U must be on some mad sh*t lol”, he replied: “Yeah, I’m on pharmaceut­ical heroin. That is some mad sh*t. And it goes on, yeah.”

Marco Jr does not show himself taking the prescribed heroin, often given to chronic addicts on supervised rehab. In the film, the tattooed Celebrity Big Brother star also indulges in sordid chat and launches an expletive-filled rap about sleeping with women. Father-of-three Marco Senior, 56, will be horrified, having supported his son during a battle with drink and drugs which saw him blow £250,000 on a binge in Ibiza when he was just 16. The Instagram film comes less than a year after Marco Jr said he had gone cold turkey for then girlfriend Francesca Suter. He said he swapped his party lifestyle for the country life at his dad’s Wiltshire farm. But in September he was seen snorting a white substance on a park bench with Francesca close by. When approached about the pharmaceut­ical heroin revelation, both Marco Junior and Senior declined to comment. lewis.panther@ trinitymir­ror.com
