MICHAEL JACKSON had a secret fourth child - the result of a one-night fling in the eighties.

A dancer, who is thought to be MICHAEL JACKSON's 'fourth child', sat in the front row next to the Jacksons during the star's memorial service.

Omer Bhatti - who sat in the front row alongside Michael's other children at his memorial service -was allegedly born after the King of Pop had a one night stand in 1984.

Omer, now 25, is now seeking a DNA test to verify whether Jackson is in fact his father.

The claims that the Norwegian 25 year old is the Thriller hitmaker's son have been further fuelled after it emerged he was granted a special seat during the ceremony at Los Angeles' Staples Center on 7 July.

Bhatti was seen in a video opening presents at Jackson's Neverland estate when he was 14, and in 2003 he was photographed celebrating the star's birthday with him.

Omer's step dad, Riz, confirmed he sat in the front row alongside Jackson's siblings, parents and 'official' children Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and Prince Michael II aka 'Blanket', seven at the service.

Riz says, "I know because I was watching. I told my wife, 'Just wait until the press see this. It's not a small thing'."

When asked whether Bhatti is Jackson's offspring, Riz refused to deny it, saying, "Make what you like. I don't want to discuss anything."
