The family revealed all in a special visit from the famous chatshow host. The children described their father as “normal” and praised his parenting skills.

Paris told Oprah: “I kind of felt like no-one understood what a good father he was.”

She added that he was “the best cook ever” and “just a normal dad except for he was, like, the best dad ever.”

MJ’s mother Katherine meanwhile admitted her son was addicted to both plastic surgery and prescription drugs. Both Paris and Prince Michael said they want to work in movies.

An album of previously unheard Jackson material is set for release this December with a track called Breaking News released this week.

A report today claims that some of the singing on the album was recorded via phone voicemails.

A source told The Sun: “Michael was certain new stuff would get out so he decided to sing lyrics down the phone… After Michael’s death last year they were question marks over whether the messages would be able to be used.”
