Michael Jackson's former bodyguard vows to take legal action to prove he is Blanket's real father
He claimed back in 2010 that he is the biological father of Michael Jackson’s youngest child Blanket.
And now, the late singer’s former bodyguard Matt Fiddes has stated he is launching a legal bid to prove it.
The 32-year-old Brit has vowed to head to Los Angeles where he will demand the right to see the 10-year-old, whose real name is Prince Michael II.

He said: ‘I am going to lodge my DNA and formally ask the Jacksons for access. I want visitation rights.’
He added: ‘Michael is their father and I do not want that to change, but I want the children back in my life. The only way that’s going to happen is through legal action. I think Blanket is mine but I want final proof.’
The martial arts master, who provided protection for Jackson in the UK, claims he gave the star with a sperm donation in 2001 after Jackson told him he wanted an 'athletic' child – a year before Blanket was born.

Fiddes, who has three other children, has also alleged that the King of Pop, who died in 2009 aged 50, admitted he was the biological father of Blanket.
He told the Daily Star that the conversation occurred after he flew to Berlin to comfort Jackon in November 2002 after the singer infamously dangled a then nine-month-old Blanket off a hotel balcony.
Fiddes, who hails from Devon, said: ‘I sat there and asked the question: “Is Blanket my child?” He said: “He’s my child, Matt, but I used your sperm to produce him.”’
The former bodyguard has previously claimed that Jackson offered him £500,000 for the sperm, but he turned the money down and donated it for free.

Fiddes now claims that Jackson’s 81-year-old mother Katherine has done her utmost to stop him from contacting the family since the star’s death, because she allegedly believes he is after money.
He said: ‘Katherine’s worried we will come after the estate and will tell the kids the truth.
‘But to me the truth is the big issue, and that’s why I want to take it further. I’m a self-made man, I don’t want or need their money.
‘All I want is access if he’s my child, to take him out, and spend some time together. My mum is dying of cancer. I want her to see Blanket more than anything.’
