Talks are happening for a new Channel 4 show about the Jackson family. The hour-long show will follow the musical troupe as they try and fit in with the local community in the small Devon fishing village of Appledore, near Barnstaple. Stop! I mean, just stop. Now let's take a minute to imagine that.

If plans go ahead, then the family will move into a rented five-bedroom holiday home in May. Tito, who is already a judge on BBC 1 talent show Just The Two Of Us, will be permanently based at the property, while Michael, Janet, brother Jermaine and parents Joseph and Katherine will fly out for visits.

Last month Tito revealed he was house-hunting in the area because the family wanted a hideaway in the idyllic English countryside. He said: "My family love North Devon and the wonderful countryside and friendly people, I'm really looking forward to buying a home here. Michael likes it here too, as no one bothers him." dude, it's only because we didn't know he was there! [Booking train ticket to Devon]...

"I am looking forward to living in Barnstaple and I hope the Barnstaple public will respect our family's privacy." You might want to start by, oh I don't know... turning the cameras off?!?

Tito's friend, bodyguard Matt Fiddes, is behind the Channel 4 TV deal, and said the move could be a more long-term arrangement. "The brothers want to move here permanently."
