Michael Jackson and his alleged secret lovechild reportedly first met on a chance meeting in a holiday hotel in Tunisia in 1996.

Dancer Omer Bhatti,speculated to be Jackson’s fourth child,then 12,was said to have impressed the King of Pop with his own dance moves and imitations of the star’s signature moonwalk.

It is thought Omer’s Asian father Riz and Norweigan mother Pia moved to Neverland in 1997 though they later returned to Norway,reports The Daily Star.

It was only after the chance meeting that Jackson allegedly told his friends that Omer was his child from a one-night stand with Pia in 1984.

Omer was seated in the front row alongside the Jackson’s brothers and sisters at the star’s memorial service in Los Angeles on July 7.

He is believed to be seeking a DNA test to discover the truth about his “connection” with the King of Pop.

But a source close to the officials investigating Jackson’s death said it was “extremely unlikely” the test would prove a link.

He said: “We suspect that he is just another boy Michael was besotted with. We would be staggered if he was a Jackson even if he can moonwalk.”
