London, July 31 - Michael Jackson's father has confirmed reports that the late American entertainer has a fourth child -- Omer Bhatti, whose parents worked in the Jackson household, British media reported Friday.

Joe Jackson said: 'I knew Michael had another son -- yes, I did.

'He looks like a Jackson, he acts like a Jackson and he can dance like a Jackson. This boy's a fantastic dancer -- as a matter of fact, he teaches dance,' he told The Sun.

The Sun reported last week that Michael Jackson told friends in 2004 that Omer, a 25-year-old aspiring dancer from Oslo, was his son from a one-night stand.

ABC News quoted Jackson biographer Stacy Brown as saying Omer's mother is Pia Bhatti, a Norwegian who worked as a nanny to the singer's first son Prince.

Her husband, Pakistani-origin Riz Bhatti, is said to have been a driver for Michael Jackson, who died June 25 from a heart attack.

Asked whether Omer could be the future of the Jackson legacy, Joe said: 'I don't know, I can't say that yet until I see it happen.
