Pierre White Jr was ‘too hungover’ to give evidence

The estranged wife of celebrity chef Marco Pierre White has been cleared of assault because son Marco Jr was “too hungover” to give evidence against her, a court has heard.

Matilde Conejero, who is separated from their father and known by her maiden name, was accused of attacking her adult sons, Luciano and Marco Jr.

She allegedly “burst her way” into Marco Jr’s flat in Chiswick, west London, and told him: “You’re a fucking loser junkie — you’re going to prison.”
