Interesting article where Marco's mother talks about her son. Can't help thinking how he would have turned out with a more stable family life.

She's awaiting trial for attacking both her sons

The wording in the link is rather strange...

But yeah, bad childhood. Loads of cash. In turn bunch of drugs. Never had to earn his keep. Overgrown manchild essentially. Its sad really when you think about it. I said quite early on in the show that watching him was like watching one of the young 'stars' going off the rails, in action and with the breakdown being applauded and encouraged. Nothing has changed...

I don't think a bad upbringing is an excuse. There's plenty of people who have been raised in worse circumstances that have turned out to be good people despite bad parenting.

Marco is old enough to realise his parents mistakes and not let them define him.

[Rob!]

Sad thing is I doubt he's even hit his low point yet. I'd love to think he'd watch his time in the house back and realise what a knob he made of himself but I doubt it somehow.

Marco's mother writes better than most other DM writers. (I'm sure she had an editor) She wasn't quick to blame his father and mentioned her own faults as well.

Still think him being ejected was the best thing to happen to him. Maybe he will learn. Or, he will just milk the attention and nothing will change.

I wonder why she didn't show up to the ejection?

The guy is in pain yet still was never malicious in the house ....I found behaviour of some other housemates more ugly....Luara, Jayne, Ryan, Sam..

I liked the fact he was wild and unpredictable.....

The problem with people who have no vices is that they have some really annoying virtues.

At least he was open about what he likes to do.

Article does not make him any better housemate that he was. Glad that he is out.

I like that he's wild. I just hope he doesn't go off the rails.

..it's a sad read for sure..I don't think that having an 'advantaged' upbringing/life in terms of money, has been an advantage at all, it's probably been one of the biggest disadvantages in that it's possibly led to his friendships being ones that have revolved around his money rather than who he is../more shallow friendships etc...if he had not been spoilt with money and materialistic things, then his friendships would have been because of the person he was and he himself would have been in no doubt about that, so felt much more self-worth...


..one of the most loving things that we can do for our children/to make them feel loved is to be a clearly defined parent..a huge part of them growing is in choosing their friendships and learning from their friendships../the people who they will choose to keep in their lives..Marco has never learned that either I don't think..one of the most sad things of what his mum said is that she feels or fears as though 'there is no hope for him'...what he needs is a belief that whatever road of 'destruction' he's travelling on now, there is every hope for him and a happy outcome from the two people who should have and should have had a complete belief in him..his mum and dad...

Interesting that she found the time to sell her story to the DM

i can agree with you Vanessa, finally we can agree on something, i find it rude from his mother, that she hasn't had time to support him on BB live eviction show, but she can make time for a interview with DM



i like you Nessa , we sometimes have got different opinions, but you are still one of my friends on this forum

Sad story but they're all so twisted to the extent I couldn't care about any of them. Good luck to them with becoming sane.

I feel very sorry for Mati and, while still despising his behaviour in the House, I feel sorry for him, too.

The monster in all of this is Marco Pierre White Snr, whose own behaviour and twisted concept of parental roles, as described in the DM article, come as no surprise and go a long way towards explaining why Marco Jnr is as he is.

This puts his constant attention-seeking and the need to touch everyone all the time into perspective. He craves love and reassurance, which he didn't get as a child, because he father was an unapproachable angry character, who belittled his mother and ignored his children.

And she's wrong about Marco. He's only 21 so not too late. He will grow up eventually

I agree that she should not be talking to the papers, not the best move on her part.

Yes she attacked Marco and then his brother when he tried to protect him.

She's probably not allowed anywhere near him Vanessa, not that he would want her to be by the sounds of it.

It must be hard for him. Your mum is always your mum. Even a volatile one like her. But he never talks about her

It is a shame, something must have gone badly wrong. It isnt going to help her build a relationship back up with him with her going too the press

Exactly. This is only going to upset her sons more

Parents can do awful lot of things to get custody and get the kids against the other when divorcing. This divorce sounds really nasty, so I wouldn't automatically bash the mother. It's too dirty to take side, I'll leave it to them and the judge.

She's the one who got violent and is going to court for it. For me it rings alarm bells very loudly.
