Celebrity chef Marco Pierre White’s son, Marco Jr, has once again made headlines for troubling reasons.

The 30-year-old was photographed last month buying and smoking drugs on a London street, just days before being arrested. He has since admitted to several burglaries, including stealing £1,500 worth of Jellycat toys and breaking into shops across west London. Appearing via video link from prison, he pleaded guilty to burglary and criminal damage but denied a robbery charge.

Court records reveal he caused thousands in damage during his crime spree. His history with the law is long, including suspended sentences, theft, and even racial abuse charges. Despite multiple rehab attempts, Marco Jr previously admitted: “I’ve had every opportunity and I’ve thrown them all away.”

For his father, once the youngest chef to win three Michelin stars, these latest revelations are heartbreaking. A final sentencing date has yet to be confirmed.

Do you think Marco Jr can still turn his life around—or is it too late?
