Michael Jackson's UK bodyguard Matt Fiddes has spilled the beans to Sky News about the pop icon's drug use and his secret girlfriend among other things. Juicy!

Fiddes says he and another Jackson confidant, psychic Uri Geller tried in vain to keep drugs away from Jackson, but it was a lost cause:

    "I never witnessed him actually taking drugs but I knew they were there and I confiscated packages, and Uri did too. And Uri confiscated injection equipment from his room...Uri would scream at Michael, you know, intensely, to stop doing this but we were getting pushed out."


On how the doctors in Michael's life may have contributed to his death:

    "The doctor had such an influence over Michael that we felt our efforts were falling on deaf ears. As far as I'm concerned they have Michael's blood on their hands, they know what they've done and there's people out there who could have helped, could have stepped in but didn't for financial reasons."


On Jackson's secret girlfriend:

    "I'm not going to name who she is, but I think the family were aware that there was someone special in his life who he loved and adored and had his ups and downs with. I don't know how long they've been a couple. I know she's been with him for some time in different capacities but...it's up to her if she wants it to come out or the family to speak about this very private information."


On what Michael was really like, outside of the public eye:

    "I've met a lot of celebrities and they're very hard and strong, whereas Michael was very delicate and sensitive and caring. Too caring. He would watch children in Africa on TV and cry in his hotel room. He would want to go and visit hospitals in the middle of the night, or go to places in London where there were homeless people and give them money and food."
