Biography

White was born on 24 May 1995[1] and grew up in Chelsea, London.[2] He has one older brother, Luciano, a restaurateur,[3] and one younger sister, Mirabelle,[4] a Royal Ballet School-trained ballerina.[5] His parents are Marco Pierre White and his third wife Matilde 'Mati' Conejero,[6] who married in April 2000.[4] Their relationship was tempestuous, and the pair separated in 2007 and again in 2012, having reconciled in 2011.[7][8][9] When White Jr was thirteen, he was first tattooed on a trip to Thailand to escape the media feeding frenzy his parents' marriage was receiving;[2] he later acquired a large selection of tattoos and became a model and an artist.[10] On 4 February 2016, Conejero was charged with assaulting White Jr and Luciano at the former's Chiswick High Road flat on 20 September 2015.[9][11][12] The district judge dismissed the case in July after White Jr was too hungover to attend court, Luciano could not be located, and neither admitted evidence.[12] In March 2016, White Jr announced that he had become engaged to Jessyca Hydleman;[6] they broke up later that month. By May, he had become engaged to Kim Melville-Smith.[13]

On 7 June 2016, White Jr became a housemate on the seventeenth series of Big Brother, entering the house alongside Andrew Tate, Laura Carter, Lateysha Grace, two twins, and thirteen other people.[14] Having claimed that he had a "hall pass" from Melville-Smith to cheat on her whilst on the programme,[15] and been previously ordered to keep his hands to himself by Big Brother,[16] he proceeded to put his hands down Carter's knickers, pull up her crop top, suck her nipple, and request she choke him with a belt, before having sex with her numerous times.[17][18] For this, MasterChef Australia judge Matt Preston used an appearance on The Kyle and Jackie O Show to suggest that White Jr had gone "off the rails",[18] Melville-Smith tweeted that by "hall pass" that she had not meant an open relationship,[19] Conejero wrote an opinion piece in The Mail on Sunday claiming that White Jr was "lost" and criticised Big Brother for "showing him as a sexual predator",[20] and 634 people complained to Ofcom, who later cleared the pair.[21] On 17 June, he became the first man to be evicted first on any UK series of Big Brother.[22][23] He used a subsequent appearance on This Morning to assert that he had broken up with Melville-Smith after objecting to her selling her story to The Sun,[24] and attributed his actions to boredom.[17] His father later used an interview with Event published in October 2016 to criticise the programme's production company for airing his son's sex scenes,[25] and the following May he joined Hell's Kitchen Australia in retaliation for remarks made by Preston.[26]

Shortly after leaving the Big Brother house, he was fined £525 for driving while under the influence of cocaine in April.[27] On 13 August 2016, White Jr was arrested after allegedly making unauthorised purchases on Carina Evans' credit card;[28] he admitted guilt on 23 November and was later sentenced.[29] In 2017, he brought out a line of sex toys,[30] and that September, he tweeted that he thought that users of the London Underground were "peasants" and later cited the Parsons Green train bombing as "why I don't take the tube #theRichDontDie", deleting the latter shortly afterwards and apologising for it.[31] In December 2018, he was accused of making racist and homophobic comments while drunk, for which he was convicted of common assault and fined £200.[32][33] In 2019, he was convicted in three different cases for stealing, failing to pay, and possession of drugs.[33][34][35] In August 2020, he was given a 32-week suspended sentence for two offences of possessing class A drugs, two of making off without payment, four public order offenses, and six offenses of theft, and was ordered to remain in his outbuilding between 7pm and 5:30am and wear an electronic tag.[36] Admissions of flouting his curfew, removing his tracker, and failing to make himself available to monitoring staff brought further fines.[36][37] In 2022, he pleaded guilty to seventeen offences between January 2021 and April 2022,[38] for this, he was sentenced to 47 weeks in prison, and his earlier 32 week suspended sentence activated.[38]
