Mark Lester is "completely nuts" - ex-wife
The ex-wife of Mark Lester, who is at the centre of the paternity row surrounding Michael Jackson's children, has labelled him "completely nuts".
The osteopath, 51, from Cheltenham, hit world headlines earlier this month when he claimed he could be the father of the King of Pop's daughter Paris and son Prince Michael.

However, in an explosive interview, Jane Lester has cast doubt on the claims and attacked her former husband over the claims.
Mark, the child star made famous by Oliver!, said he donated sperm to his pop star in 1996.
He said he was convinced that he has a 'special affinity' with Paris, who is his god-daughter, and claimed that his own daughter, Harriet, resembled her strongly.
In an interview with the Daily Mail newspaper, Jane said the claims are "not even faintly credible" and she describes Mark as "completely nuts".
She said: "As soon as he got a whiff of Jackson's fame, he went ballistic."

“Why couldn`t Jackson use his own sperm, in the normal way, isn`t that how it should be with married couples? Or was it perhaps that he wanted children who looked like Mark Lester did in the film Oliver and not like he did as a kid in the Jackson Five?! But then again nothing was normal in the world of Michael Jackson.”

“I too am completely nuts and feel there is a good chance that Mark Lester could be my father, although he would have been 6 years old at the time. That would make me related to the Jacksons. How cool is that ?”

“"well she would say that wouldn't she "
It's becoming rather obvious to us all. Better to be 'nuts' than a sane but embittered man using a brief handshake with a legend and his children to get as much fame as possible.
I'd rather be "nuts" than that pathetic, wouldn't you?”
