The DNA test which allegedly proved Michael Jackson fathered a secret lovechild may be fake.

Fans of the late singer reacted with shock and outrage after online television channel FilmOn.com’s Alki David presented a panel discussion during which it was claimed 31-year-old singer Brandon Howard was the King of Pop’s son.

It was alleged DNA was taken from a mould of Jackson’s teeth and from Howard before it was sent to labs in Ireland and Utah.

The results were then unveiled on the show and it was claimed there was a “99.99999%” probability of singer Brandon being Michael’s son.

However, a picture of the results sheet was obtained by bosses of website TMZ and it seems it may have been false with the logo at the top of the page even being seen in film Terminator Salvation.

A Google image search for “DNA results” brings up a number of examples and many of the results are printed on branded paper from the labs.

According to TMZ, there is no generic DNA testing lab, as the Jackson and Howard test would suggest, in Ireland where it was claimed the DNA was sent.

But while the test results may be fake, Brandon’s parents do have links to Michael as Brandon’s singer mother Mika Howard was once managed by Michael’s father Joe Jackson.

Brandon has even cast doubt on the matter himself, saying in a statement:

“To my fans, family, and friends, despite recent allegations, I did not authorise the testing of my DNA to be compared to that of the late Michael Jackson.

“This spring, I agreed to be part of a documentary film with FilmOn.TV and was asked to give a sample of my DNA. Even though I agreed to this I never expected it to be used in this manner.
