Michael Jackson's former bodyguard is demanding a DNA test to prove his claim that he is the biological father of the late singing superstar's son, Blanket.

Matt Fiddes has claimed previously that he is the father of Prince Michael II, 10, but now he wants the courts to give him the right to seek DNA proof.

He told the Daily Star: "I am going to lodge my DNA and formally ask the Jacksons for access. I want visitation rights.

"Michael is their father and I do not want that to change, but I want the children back in my life," he said. "The only way that's going to happen is through legal action. I think Blanket is mine but I want final proof." Fiddes was a security guard for Jackson when the singer was in Britain.

He claims that he gave Jackson a sperm donation in 2001 and that the singer confirmed that the child was conceived using the donation.

"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," Fiddes said.
