Marco Pierre White Jnr’s ex fiancée claims Big Brother star mentally abused her and FORCED her to agree to ‘hall pass’

Marco Pierre White Jr’s former fiancee Kim Melville-Smith has claimed she was ‘mentally abused’ by the famous chef’s son during their short relationship.

Kim – who was engaged to Marco before he entered the Big Brother house – also says that he forced her to agree to his now infamous ‘hall pass’.

Speaking about their troubled and short-live romance, devastated Kim said:  “He was very persuasive and would twist things. He made me agree to a hall pass which he mentioned on Big Brother but I didn’t really want it.”

During his time in the BB house, Marco raised eyebrows when he romped with Laura Carter and claimed Kim had given him permission – despite the fact they were engaged to be married

Describing her relationship with the tattooed hunk, pretty Kim told the : “I felt it was about control, I felt he was very controlling.”

She claims that he used to check her phone and her emails going back eight years – he even checked her friends’ phones according to Kim.

It wasn’t just him keeping an eye on her which she found tough though – she claims his behaviour was very erratic and at times he would punch walls.

“He would flip out, he would punch walls all the time when he lost it,” she claimed.”The fact is he never hit me, but what he was doing wasn’t normal behaviour.

“It turned into almost a joke that: ‘Oh he’s done it again… we’ve got to cover that one up with a picture'”.

Kim, who said the experience made her lose her ‘shine’, has made her want to make people more aware of mental abuse – as she believes it is something which is not reported enough.

She said. “I think mental abuse as bad as physical abuse. Everyone said to me about how I lost my shine, it weighted me down.”

The Sun Online has contacted Marco for comment.
