Blame it on the scrumpy: The Jacksons move to Devon, but squabble over their seaside house

The sleepy village of Appledore urned into a Hollywood frenzy after the Jacksons came to town yesterday.

Excited villagers camped outside the five-bedroom home, rented by the family as Tito and Jackie moved in, giving the family presents including local produce and scumpy cider.

The arrival of their mother, Katherine and Tito's son Siggi has sparked rumours that the family is looking to establish a more permanent base in the Devon countryside.

Tito Jackson and brother Jackie were the first to move in, with Jackie's son Siggy - also known as rap act DealZ.

They were followed by their mother Katherine, 78, Tito's girlfriend Claudia Lynx and his sons Taj, Taryll and TJ, who used to comprise boyband 3T.

The house has been let for £1,200 a week on a one-month contract.

Welcoming villagers have even arranged a series of parties to celebrate the arrival of the pop family including visits to a local fish and chip shop, a hospice and even a nightclub.

There are also plans for a celebratory welcome bash on June 8, which the family will be attending.

Organised by 18-year-old fan George Warren, who runs his own online Michael Jackson merchandise store, tickets to the party sold out without hours of going on sale.

The Jacksons are being filmed for a television documentary during their stay.

Now villagers hope the Jacksons will remain permanent fixtures and hope Michael, Jermaine and Janet will soon move in with them.

Michael is no stranger to the area having visited Exeter Football Club in 2002.

Village postmaster Michael Johns, 60, told Sky News: "It's great news. Everyone's talking about the Jacksons.

"They've rented a house on a hill with a lovely view overlooking the bay. We're looking forward to their stay. It should be great for the local tourist trade."

Matthew Ryan, managing director of North Devon Holiday Homes, said of the first wave of arrivals: “I think they were exhausted by the flights, but we got them settled in quickly - even though there were some arguments over who was going to have which room.

“There's a lot of cameras about, but hopefully that won't bother them too much. I think they are still tired from the jet lag, but they'll relax into our slow way of life over the next few days.

The sleepy Devon village of Appledore has been a hive of activity since the arrival of the Jacksons.

Jackie 57, and Siggy were the centre of attention as they left the house to explore their new surroundings yesterday morning, strolling along the fishing quay, where they ate ice creams and met local residents.

One said: “They did seem to be enjoying themselves. It's not every day you see a celebrity in Appledore and I suppose that's why they've come here to live - to enjoy some of our peace and quiet

WELCOME to North Devon: Jackie Jackson and son Siggy – aka rapper DealZ – enjoy a Hockings ice cream on Appledore Quay. Picture by Guy Harrop.

JACKSON-mania hit Appledore earlier today (Wednesday) as North Devon's newest celebrity family sampled their first taste of Devon life.

Meinen allergrößten Respekt! Katherine sieht wirklich nicht aus wie 78. Hat sich echt gut gehalten. Dafür sieht DealZ älter aus als sein Vater...

lol, hier guckt Jackie ja iwie angewidert auf sein Eis, so nach dem Motto "Boa, ist das :eklig"

Zitat von TLC

Jackson Five get cool in Devon

The Jackson Five, and four bedrooms. This could be serious. Which one will end up sleeping on the sofa?

As of yesterday, the first two members of the Jackson Five were settling into the four-bedroom rented house which is, for reasons that remain somewhat unclear, to be their temporary seaside home in Devon. That was Tito Jackson and Jackie Jackson. Younger readers may know them as two of the older, taller Jacksons. Tito played guitar. “They seemed quite out of place walking along the seafront,” muses one local resident. “It’s not every day you see a celebrity in Appledore.” It is now.

Pretty soon, there will be far more than five Jacksons in Appledore. Already, in this £1,200-a-month holiday home, Tito and Jackie have been joined by their mother Katharine, 78, Jackie’s son Siggy, Tito’s girlfriend Claudia Lynx, and his sons Taj, Taryll and TJ.

“There were some arguments over who was going to have which room,” admitted Matthew Ryan, managing director of North Devon Holiday Homes, who has provided the musical horde with accomodation. The situation is not likely to improve. Other Jacksons are said to be on the way, including Michael, Janet and Jermaine. Remember, even the Jackson Five had another four spare siblings. These days, there are an awful lot of Jacksons. Possibly too many to count.

“There’s a lot of paparazzi and cameras about,” says Mr Ryan, who handed over the keys on Wednesday. “Hopefully that won’t bother them too much. I think they are still tired from the jet lag but they’ll relax into our slow way of life over the next few days.” Excited locals have already provided the family with a hamper of local produce, which includes “a large amount of scrumpy”. Mr Ryan has advised moderation.

Showbiz rumour holds that the Jacksons are using the home as a base while they negotiate to buy a secluded piece of land in nearby Croyde. Here, it is said, they intend to build a huge glass mansion. This may be true. However, rather more solid rumour holds that the whole thing is part of an hour-long Channel 4 reality television show. The expectation is that Tito Jackson will be resident in the house, while other Jacksons drop by for short breaks.

Tito has been flitting around in Devon for some time. George Warren, an 18-year-old fan from North Devon college, has organised a charity fundraiser party in the Durrant House Hotel, in nearby Northam to welcome the family to England. “I can confirm that myself and some other Jackson family members will be in attendance at this event,” said Tito last month. “We are all very much looking forward to spending time in North Devon. I can’t wait to come back to Barnstaple.”

The Jackson family love affair with Barnstaple may have begun in 2007, when Jermaine spent three weeks as a somewhat bemused contestant in Celebrity Big Brother. He came second, behind Shilpa Shetty, and the resultant exposure sent the Jackson 5 into the pop charts for the first time since 1988, with I Want You Back soaring all the way to number 58. Notions of rural English seclusion may have extra appeal after Michael Jackson’s 2005 trial on child molestation charges, in which he was found not guilty. Thereafter, the singer moved to Bahrain. Reports abound about his debts and his abandoned Neverland ranch outside Los Angeles has narrowly avoided repossession.

That said, allegations emerged out of Martin Bashir’s 2003 ITV documentary Living with Michael Jackson. Further reality television may not appeal. Should he ever arrive, at least Michael might not have to share a bathroom. The house, which is owned by two couples from Bristol, has four en-suite bathrooms, a large reception hall, landscaped garden, kitchen and, boasts the estate agent, a large LCD television. True, his abandoned ranch Neverland had its own zoo and cinema, but times may be hard.

The village itself may offer limited diversion. In this pretty historical fishing village, where the Taw and Torridge rivers meet, life centres on the quay, which hosts crabbing contests and Morris Dancing. There is also an ice-cream shop. By last night, alas, the appeal of all this may have already been beginning to pale. The Jackson family were booked into the Fullum Chinese restaurant in Barnstaple, six miles down the road. “They’ve been here several times before,” said Cindy Lee, the owner, “but we’ve never said anything because we always respect their privacy. Every time they are in town they drop in to say hello.”
