Safechuck said: "I remember one time I was sleeping and I woke up and Michael said that he had performed oral sex on me while I was sleeping.

“I was like, ‘oh, okay’.”

Safechuck, who met Jacko on the set of a Pepsi ad, said the abuse started one night in a Paris hotel while he accompanied the performer on his European Tour.

He said: "He [Jackson] said that I was his first sexual experience. And he would say that all time time."

First it  “evolved from French kissing” then to “kissing different parts of the body”.

Then Safechuck said the Thriller singer asked whether he could kiss his penis.

Jackson also introduced him to masturbation, he said.

One occasion he claimed he did this so much his penis swelled up, prompting Jackson to ask him to place it in cold water.

The second part of Leaving Neverland airs on Channel 4 on Thursday March 7 at 9pm.

Jackson, who died in 2009 of a drug overdose, strongly denied all allegations of sexual abuse made against him.

His estate has vehemently denounced the documentary.

It attacks the credibility of Robson and Safechuck, as well as the filmmaker for not including other voices who knew Jackson.
