Mark Lester, who is the rumoured biological father of Michael Jackson's daughter Paris, has revealed that the troubled teen tried to contact him before her desperate 'cry for help suicide attempt.'
On the fourth death anniversary of the late pop singer, his best friend and godfather to his kids told the Lorraine show that he believes that Paris' alleged self-harming wasn't a very serious attempt, but it was a cry for help, the Mirror reported.

He added that if Paris, Prince and Blanket ever need to come over to the UK, they can come and visit him.
