Marco Pierre White Jr, the son of celebrity chef Marco Pierre White, has been sentenced to 11 months in prison for a series of thefts, possession of a knife, and a racially aggravated public order offence. The 27-year-old, who appeared on Big Brother, pleaded guilty to 14 counts of shoplifting, one count of possessing a knife, one count of possessing heroin, and one racial abuse offence.
The offences were committed in Bath, with the first theft occurring in January 2021 and the last in April 2023. A previously suspended sentence of 32 weeks was also activated by the judge at Bristol Crown Court on Monday, to run consecutively with the new sentence, resulting in a total of 79 weeks in prison.
Pierre White Jr, of Leafy Lane, Corsham in Wiltshire, was also ordered to pay a £156 victim surcharge. The court heard that the suspended sentence was imposed for failing to comply with a community order.
