And Michael Jackson's response to the documentary and the criticism:

Jacko says he was betrayed by Bashir



Michael Jackson has criticised Martin Bashir and the makers of a documentary on him.
He says he feels more betrayed than perhaps ever before.
He has been widely criticised following the ITV1 programme, Living With Michael Jackson, in which he revealed that he still shares his bedroom with children.
A spokesman said Jackson first saw the programme, in which he was interviewed by investigative journalist Martin Bashir, last night.
He immediately released a statement through his British representative Stephen Lock, criticising its portrayal of him.
"I trusted Martin Bashir to come into my life and that of my family because I wanted the truth to be told.
"Martin Bashir persuaded me to trust him, that his would be an honest and fair portrayal of my life and told me that he was 'the man that turned Diana's life around'.
The pop star went on: "Today I feel more betrayed than perhaps ever before; that someone who had got to know my children, my staff and me, whom I let into my heart and told the truth, could then sacrifice the trust I placed in him and produce this terrible and unfair programme.
"Everyone who knows me will know the truth which is that my children come first in my life and that I would never harm any child."
Jackson said he had received many messages of support from fans in Britain since the documentary was aired on Monday night.
