Marco slams Matt: 'I will get that man'

Marco Pierre White is furious over comments Matt Preston has made about his controversial son Marco Pierre White Jr.

Marco's son shocked the world after speaking out about his drug and alcohol abuse, and the prostitutes he'd buy with his father's money, also claiming to have spent over AU$500,000 on drugs.

Matt Preston appeared on the Kyle & Jackie O Show last year after Marco Pierre White Jr's shocking confession, and suggested his colleague's son was off the rails.

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

When Kyle and Jackie asked if he was shocked by Marco's son's behaviour he replied with, "That's that whole rich, London trust fund babe, trustifarian-type stuff - it's another world."

The famous UK chef has leapt to his son's defense, speaking to News Corp regarding the Preston interview.

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

And the retaliation didn't stop there, with Marco adding: "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."

However according to the Daily Mail Matt has already told News Corp Marco has reached out to clear the air.

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

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