JACKSON: I SLEEP IN TOY SHOPS Feb 2 2003
By Polly Graham
MICHAEL Jackson confesses he loves sleeping in toy shops, in an extraordinary interview to be screened tomorrow night.
Jackson, 44, says that falling asleep surrounded by toys makes him feel happy, safe and secure.
But he looks pained and on the verge of tears when Martin Bashir questions him about child abuse allegations by 13-year-old Jordan Schwartz before denying any wrong-doing.
He also denies having any cosmetic surgery on his face saying, "No, of course not" in the ITV1 Tonight With Trevor McDonald special.
He compares himself to Princess Diana, believing that, like her, he is a deeply misunderstood public figure.
Bashir was given unprecedented access to Jackson over an eight-month period and was even in the Berlin hotel room when the star dangled his baby son Prince Michael II over a 60ft balcony.
The show is on at 9pm.
