Marco Pierre White vows to get back at Matt Preston

Marco Pierre White is outraged over comments Matt Preston made about his son Marco Pierre White Jr.

Marco’s son stepped into the spotlight after he spoke about his drug and alcohol abuse and the prostitutes he buys with his father’s money.

He also claimed to have spent over AU $500,000 on drugs.

The tension began between Marco Pierre White and Matt Preston after Matt appeared on the Kyle and Jackie O Show last year and commented on his colleague’s son.

"Anyone who's got tattoos on their face normally behave badly, don't they?" he said.

When Kyle and Jackie asked if he found Marco’s son behaviour shocking Matt replied, “That's that whole rich, London trust fund babe, trustifarian-type stuff - it's another world."

Marco came to his son’s defence and condemned Matt for the public comments.

"With my hand on my mother's grave, I will get that man," Marco said of Matt.

"The things he said about my son in the British press were disgraceful. No one should ever say that about someone else's children. I will never forgive that man."

The Daily Mail have reported that Marco has already reached out to Matt to clear the air.

Matt Preston said, "I have the greatest respect for Marco Pierre White having had a professional relationship with Marco for the past five years.”

"Marco has already reached out to me to organise a sit down to clear the air."
