Trivia

Both White and his son Marco Pierre White Jnr have appeared in Big Brother. White Snr appeared in 2011 as a houseguest, setting the housemates a cooking task. White Jnr appeared on the civilian version in 2016, and - as of November 2023 - remains the only man to have been evicted first. Their double name "Marco Pierre" is the result of restaurant critic Egon Ronay running an article about a chef at Harveys with an Italian name, a French name, and an English name; Marco came from his Italian mother, while Pierre was a whimsical suggestion from a Genoese aunt.
