Plastic surgery left Michael Jackson's nose 'looking like a toothpick'

Michael Jackson's mum has revealed that the star had addiction to plastic surgery, which she insists left his nose looking like a toothpick.

Devastated Katherine said Jacko's claims he only had two operations on his nose were rubbish.

She revealed she ordered surgeons to lie to the singer and tell him they had carried out an operation while leaving his nose alone.

"He had more than two, he was embarrassed," the Sun quoted Katherine as telling US chat show host Oprah Winfrey.

She said his nose was "like a toothpick at one time - too small."

"I hear people get addicted to plastic surgery. I had told him, 'That's enough. Why do you keep going?' she said.

"I even talked to the plastic surgeon and said, 'If he comes and he wants you to work on his nose just tell him you did it and don't change it'," she added.

Katherine said her son had vitiligo, a disorder that causes depigmentation.

"He didn't want to look like a spotted cow," she said.
