Michael Jackson's former bodyguard is convinced that he is the biological father of the late singer's youngest son Blanket.

The 10-year-old, whose real name is Prince Michael II, is at the centre of the paternity scandal, where Matt Fiddes is insisting that he is the child's real father.

According to the Daily Star, the martial arts expert said: "I am going to lodge my DNA and formally ask the Jacksons for access. I want visitation rights."

Back in 2010, Matt Fiddes claimed to be Blanket's daddy, but now he's wanting to go through the courts to get access to prove it.

"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."

The Brit, who gave Michael Jackson security while during his UK visits, has previously claimed that he gave the 'Thriller' singer a sperm donation in 2001 after a discussion about Michael wanting an "athletic" children, just a year before Blanket was born.

According to Fiddes, pictured here in a 2008 Jackson family documentary, Michael once admitted that it was his sperm that was used to help conceive Blanket.

"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.'"

Fiddes claimed that he even turned down the £500,000 that Michael had offered him for the donation, which he believes is proof that he's not just after money which the martial arts expert thinks Katherine Jackson is worried about.

"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," he said.

"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."
