Marco Pierre White Jr arrested for reportedly stealing £186,000 from his dad’s friend
The Big Brother star was held by police
Big Brother star Marco Pierre White Jr has been arrested on suspicion of theft, for reportedly stealing from his celebrity chef dad’s best friend.
According to reports, Marco allegedly stole £186,000 and jewellery from the businessman’s £3 million Chelsea home and was held by police.
TV chef Marco Pierre White introduced his son to the businessman in hope the pair could work together, however the meeting reportedly didn’t go as planned.
A national newspaper is reporting that Marco was then questioned by police at a local station on suspicion of theft. A spokeswoman for the Met Office Police said “Police received an allegation of theft at a property in Townmean Road, SW6. The allegation was made to police on 31 August and the incident was said to have taken place on the previous day. A 21-year-old male was arrested on Sunday 4th September on suspicion of theft and taken to West London police station. He was bailed to return on a date in early November.”
Marco made a name for himself during his controversial stint on Big Brother where he cheated on his fiancé, Kim Melville-Smith, live on TV with fellow housemate Laura Carter.

Despite telling This Morning presenters, “I was given a hall pass on Big Brother, a free pass to do anything I wanted. Maybe I did push it too far, I take full blame” the 21-year-old was later dumped for his behaviour.
Watch his full interview below:
This didn’t stop Marco’s outrageous behaviour. The party boy then filmed an abusive video on his Snapchat where he could be heard threating his former housemate Georgia Cantwell and was then filmed downing a large proportion of alcoholic drinks.
Since then, Marco has been criticised for his behaviour on social media, with some suggesting he is taking drugs.
The model is yet to comment on the situation.
