Marco Pierre White has revealed the reason he walked out of his guest judge role on MasterChef Australia to join the new Hell's Kitchen Australia was his personal animosity towards host Matt Preston (together left and on MasterChef in centre) over comments he made about the culinary legend's wayward son Marco Jr (top right together). White vowed 'with my hand on my mother's grave, I will get that man,' in an uncharacteristically candid interview. Marco Jr admitted to spending more than $500,000 of his father's money on drugs and prostitutes and had sex with a female housemate on Big Brother UK (bottom right). Preston last year said he was not shocked at the troubled son's behaviour saying: 'Anyone who's got tattoos on their face normally behave badly, don't they? That's that whole rich, London trust fund babe, trustifarian-type stuff - it's another world.' White on Sunday called the comments 'disgraceful'. 'No one should ever say that about someone else's children. I will never forgive that man.'
