Jacko's secret room revealed

The inside of Michael Jackson’s Neverland ranch home was revealed for the first time on US TV last night.

A video showed a secret room off the star’s bedroom in the California mansion.

TV’s Extra programme revealed a door hidden behind clothes at the back of a walk-in wardrobe.

The door opens to a narrow carpeted stairwell lined with rag dolls and descends into the eight-by-seven-foot chamber which resembles a child’s bedroom.

The bed was adorned with pillow cases imprinted with Peter Pan’s face and the word Neverland.

Sitting on the bed was a red-headed stuffed doll, and on a bedside table is a Mickey Mouse telephone.

On the walls were framed pictures of smiling diapered babies, which the TV show said were not Jackson’s children.

The only access to the chamber is through Jackson’s main bedroom suite.

The wardrobe that hides the secret entrance is packed with military-style costumes, children’s toys and books and a prominently displayed picture of Home Alone actor Macaulay Culkin.

Culkin was befriended by Jackson during his days as a child star. A message on the photo says: “Don’t leave me alone in the house.”

Extra did not say who gave them the tape – shot in 1994.

Jackson did not reveal the hidden room to British documentary filmmaker Martin Bashir, who interviewed the singer extensively earlier this year and toured much of the 2,600 acre Santa Barbara ranch.
