Michael Jackson, but disturbing claims have emerged about the pet primate's life behind the scenes.In fact, the King of Pop's furry friend had to be saved by medics after he was rushed to hospital in 2003, where he could have lost his life.Michael bought Bubbles from an animal trainer for $65,000 (now £51,000) in the 1980s, and the pair quickly became best friends.Bubbles was no ordinary chimpanzee, because he lived a highly glamorous life in the limelight, which once saw him sport a suave tuxedo at the 1994 MTV Movie Awards.Bubbles and his famous owner seemed to become inseparable and they were often snapped out and about together.The primate even travelled with the singer on his Bad World tour and sipped tea with the mayor of Osaka in Japan.At first, the chimp stayed at Jackson's family home in Los Angeles before he was later moved into Michael's iconic Neverland home, which famously boasted an outdoor theme park.Bubbles slept in a crib in Michael's room, but it seemed Bubbles didn't always behave at home because he reportedly threw his own poo around the mansion.Sadly, worrying claims have emerged about Bubbles' life with the King of Pop, such as claims that he was abused.The world's leading primatologist, Jane Goodall, said she thought Bubbles had been punched in the face and kicked in the stomach during his time with Jackson.The expert also claimed that Michael was left fuming when she tried to talk to him about it.Speaking in 2014, Jane told TMZ: "I went to see him and we talked about Bubbles. I ticked him off."Bubbles is still alive and he’s beautiful.

Britain's Got Talent has been entertaining the nation since it first burst onto our screens in June 2007.Showcasing an array of talented musicians, comedians, dance acts and several more, the show has proven to be popular weekend entertainment amongst Brits, as the auditionees continue to wow audiences until the nail-biting final.Following the success of America's Got Talent which premiered the year before, BGT has gone on to create household names such as Diversity's frontman Ashely Banjo, singer Susan Boyle and dancer George Sampson.But despite the programme's ever-growing success, many viewers are completely unaware of the changes that have been made along the way with the presenters and the original judges.However, what may come as more of a surprise is the fact that Paul O'Grady was originally scheduled to host the entire show.With broadcaster bust-ups and last-minute changes at the time, Daily Star has taken a look at what happened to the original format.Britain's Got Talent producers clearly had a very different agenda when they were first presented with the idea of the new show by Simon Cowell in 2005.X Factor judge Simon wanted to make sure the programme followed a similar format to the British talent show Opportunity Knocks which aired during the 1950s.However, ITV producers feared the talent show wouldn't work unless comedian Paul O'Grady fronted it.But Paul wasn't the only major change that was later introduced to the show. A few years back, audiences became familiar with original BGT judges Amanda Holden, Piers Morgan and Simon.
