Kate and Gerry McCann blast ‘ignorant’ Marco Pierre White Jnr for sick Twitter rant about Maddie
The troubled reality star tweeted a shocking outburst against the couple
THE PARENTS of Madeleine McCann have today hit back at a foul-mouthed Twitter rant by Marco Pierre White Junior saying his cruel taunt is “entirely unjustified.”
Despairing Kate and Gerry hope “any right minded person will see his totally ignorant abuse for what it is,” their spokesman Clarence Mitchell said.
The troubled reality star, 22, tweeted a shocking outburst against the couple, who are now bracing themselves for the painful milestone 10th anniversary of their daughter’s disappearance in less than seven weeks.
In what could prove to be a legally “malicious and libellous” posting, he spouted a torrent of hate which he even stupidly mis-spelt.
Mr Mitchell told The Sun Online: “Kate and Gerry will not be dignifying his foul-mouthed abuse with any other comment.”

The heavily tattooed model, 22, son of celebrity chef Marco Pierre White, has a well documented problem with both drugs and his own mum.
He posted on Thursday for his 40,000 Twitter followers to see a vile rant with expletives.
He wrote: “Kate and Gerry MacCann are f*****g guilty sick mother f*****s defiantly killed there daughter. Look at money (dollar sign) they’ve made out of it in 10 years”
Big Brother favourite Marco not only mis-spelt the family’s surname documented millions of times but also said “there” daughter instead of “their” and used a dollar symbol, for allegedly bagging cash, instead of a pounds sign.
A source close to ex-GP Kate, 49, and heart doctor Gerry, 48, from Rothley, Leics, said: “He comes across as a complete and utter idiot. His father must be appalled by his behaviour.
“But even mentioning him and like-minded people might give them some sort of spurious credibility.”
Three-year-old Maddie vanished from a holiday apartment in Portugal’s Praia da Luz in May 2007 while her parents were dining in a nearby tapas bar.
The couple are clinging onto a glimmer of hope their daughter could still be alive. She would now be aged 13, nearly 14.
They previously said in a statement: “We don’t accept that Madeleine is dead until we see evidence, clear evidence, that this is the case. We still have hope.”
The Sun Online revealed this week how two criminal investigators – an American and Portuguese – joined in the sickening rant against the anguished McCanns.
Both claimed the British child had died in the Algarve flat and her accidental death was covered up by her parents.
Respected US profiler Pat Brown states in an outrageous online rant: “There’s no point spending all of this money as nothing they do is going to make that child be found alive.”
It came after Portuguese author and TV crime expert Moita Flores insisted: “An abduction was extremely unlikely based on the amount of time, evidence at the scene, and every other shred of evidence there has ever been.”
They spoke out Scotland Yard was granted an extra £85,000 to fund the search for another six months.
They have been hunting for Maddie for the past six years, on orders in May 2011 from then Prime Minister David Cameron.
LBC radio host and Social commentator Katie Hopkins, glamour model Jodie Marsh, MP’s estranged wife Karen Danczuk have also criticised Maddie’s parents over the past weeks while on Monday retired Met Police officer Sue Hill slammed on breakfast TV the extra funding they were receiving as a waste of British workers’ hard earned cash.
Now Marco junior has jumped on the bizarre and cruel bandwagon.
The McCann pal added: “As if Madeleine’s poor parents didn’t have enough to deal with. It’s nearly a decade since their beloved daughter disappeared and they still have no idea if she is dead or alive.
"They don’t need armchair detectives and a group of opinionated people trying to garb the headlines by speaking about a family they know absolutely nothing about in a bid to gain a speck of publicity for themselves. It’s appalling.”
The Sun newspaper told in January how Marco posted a bizarre tweet accusing his dad of paying him to take drugs with his mum. There is nothing to suggest there is any truth in his claims.
In July last year Spanish his mum Matilde Conejero – estraanged from the famous chef - was cleared of assaulting him after Marco failed to attend court. Reports suggested he was “too hungover” to attend and the case collapsed.
