Michael Jackson could soon be reaching for a copy of Homefinder. Ladbrokes are giving 16/1 odds that he will settle in Co Antrim

Jacko to settle in Antrim?

Wednesday, January 17, 2007

Moonwalking king of pop Michael Jackson is moving house ... and could have Co Antrim in his sights.

And betting experts Ladbrokes are even giving 16/1 odds on the 'Black and White' singer choosing to set up home in that part of Ulster.

The pop superstar, who has holidayed in Ireland many times, has been living in the Middle East since he was acquitted of child molestation charges in 2005.

The 48-year-old also paid a visit to a Dublin dentist late last year, in preparation for his appearance at The World Music Awards, where he was honoured with the Diamond Award for his achievements in the industry.

He has sold over one hundred million records since he started singing over four decades ago.

On the Ladbrokes website, the question reads: 'Which county will Michael Jackson choose to purchase his new home?'

The odds on him opting for Fermanagh are currently 20/1, with 33/1 on Down and Tyrone and, at the bottom of the list, Armagh and Derry are sitting at 50/1.
