Celebrity Big Brother star and son of chef Maro Pierre White is being hunted by police after he failed to turn up to give evidence at his mother's trial.

Chiswick resident Marco Pierre White Jr was due at Uxbridge Magistrates Court with his brother on Tuesday (July 12) to give evidence against mother Matilde Conejero.

51-year-old Conejero is accused of attacking her two sons in their Chiswick apartment block on September 20 2015.

But only she appeared in court after the notorious party boy and Luciano never arrived.

The boys were said to have possibly had a 'change of heart' about giving evidence against their mother.

A witness summons had already been served for Luciano and a request for a witness summons to be served on White Jr was granted.

Court News UK tweeted shortly after his absence that he was "too hungover" to attend.
