Michael Jackson's former bodyguard has vowed to reveal the 'real truth' about the King of Pop in a bid to defend him from child sex abuse allegations.
Personal trainer Matt Fiddes says he knows what really happened as he watched over Jackson's private living areas for ten years - and who was allowed access.
Mr Fiddes, from Swindon, Wiltshire, is planning on teaming up with fellow bodyguard Bill Whitfield who lived with Jackson in the last years of his life.
The ex bodyguard, who worked alongside Jackson for ten years, says the music icon is the 'biggest target in the world' and he always 'wanted his life to be 'mystery.'

Documentary Leaving Neverland featured interview with Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who accused the late singer of molesting them as children.
The Jackson family have denied the claims and denounced the film, comparing it to a 'public lynching'.
In a post on his Instagram page last night Mr Fiddes said he wanted to protect the star's legacy, adding: 'facts don't lie, people do.'
Mr Fiddes, 39, who owns a string of martial arts schools across the UK with a business empire worth a reported £30 million, said it was 'now to defend a friend @michaeljackson who was always so great to my family and staff.'

He wrote: 'I have sat back and watched the circus which we got used too over the years.
'People forget this man was and still is the most famous man in the world. The biggest target in the world. And he wanted his life to be a 'mystery'.
'He understood the media value of that. And it has backfired on him in death sadly.'
The married 39-year-old father of five says he has been bombarded with interview requests but has turned them all down.
He added: 'I have been in talks with his bodyguard who lived with him for the last few years of his life in the USA @iambillwhitfield and we both have had enough of it all.

'I will reveal Michael's true private life, has done Bill. Maybe we will do it together. As a bodyguard, we see the real truth.
'We guard his life and private living areas. We know who comes in and out.
'This man has been surrounded by bodyguards since a young child.
'If anyone wanted to get to him they would come through us.
'We kept his private life a secret as he wanted 'His life to be the biggest show on earth!'
'But it all has gone a bit wrong as he is not here to defend himself.
'In life, we protected you Mike and in death, we are here to protect your legacy and family and especially our kids.
'We had our own inner circle of friends. 'We may kill your mystery and myths buddy.
'Your legacy will be protected though.'
Mr Fiddes added: 'You may not want to hear it but it's the truth from two men who knew him well based on two sides of the world with very different lives and times with Michael.

'Facts don't lie, people do.'
Last month Mr Fiddes said the Leaving Neverland documentary had left out key details, including claims the two accusers are suing the singer's estate, and branded the allegations 'nonsense'.
Speaking during an appearance on BBC Wiltshire radio, Mr Fiddes said: 'No one was expecting this year to be anything other that a celebration of his dance and his music, it's 10 years since his passing.
'We've had [to deal with such claims] since I met him, this is not something new that myself either the family or myself have had to put up with. It's been ongoing nonsense.
'They're [the Jackson family are] handling it ok. It's down to the estate now to do what they need to do.
'When the time comes I will have my say on the whole thing.'
