More recently, since Jackson’s death in 2009, the documentary Leaving Neverland put new and old allegations under the microscope and spawned a huge backlash against the pop star.

Now, a new documentary is set to explore the truth about the man who has divided fans’ opinions all around the world.

Airing on BBC Two tomorrow night, The Real Michael Jackson sees investigative reporter Jacques Peretti delve into Jackson’s past and explore the views of both sides of the debate which still rages around the star.

“Since last year, the debate about Michael Jackson has intensified and opinions about how we should remember him are now more fractured than at any time since his death a decade ago,” the synopsis reads.
