‘My lost child’: Marco Pierre White Jr’s mother reveals fears for son following his shocking Big Brother antics
The estranged wife of Marco Sr said she broke down in tears watching him
MARCO Pierre White Jr’s mother has revealed her agony at watching her son’s shocking behaviour on Big Brother.
Mati Conejero – who is in the middle of a bitter divorce from chef Marco – says she broke down in tears watching her ‘lost’ boy on TV.
She told the : “I broke down when I saw that for how lost he is. I feel so helpless that I can't do anything, but how would you feel when your beautiful baby boy ends up a man covered in tattoos, with the word 'Broken' across his face.”
The 51-year-old is estranged from both Marco and his brother Luciano and is awaiting trial on charges of assaulting them both – something which she vehemently denies.
The mother-of-three watched in horror as Marco took part in some shocking sex scenes on the channel 5 show – which included him sucking a woman’s nipple, despite being engaged before he got the boot on Friday evening.

She added: “In another scene on Big Brother I saw him crying. Even at the time, I thought he was not distressed about Big Brother – but about his life outside.
“I had hoped he might learn some lessons in there about what is and isn't socially acceptable. But Mini doesn't know any boundaries and now he's in a place where he can't control the situation. One of the girls on the show said he was like a six-year-old boy.”
The final straw for Mati – who says she fears for her son’s future – came when she watched him begged Laura to ‘strangle’ him with a belt for sexual pleasure.
“I don't want to say bad things about my son, whom I love dearly. But I just don't know what to do to help him. I worry it's too late. The strangling thing was horrific to see, although I do think that Big Brother was irresponsible to have shown it,” she said.
“As his mother, I don't approve of Big Brother showing him as a sexual predator. It tears me apart to say it, but I feel there's no hope for him. Watching Big Brother is like watching my son die before my eyes.”
Yesterday Marco said he was happy to be out of the house and he wasted no time in hitting the town – but his fiancée was nowhere in sight after she failed to show up for his eviction.
Speaking to the Sun Online, he declared: "I was happy I’d done my time there, I made some great friends – But I was ready to leave, I just want to move on with my life."
