Susanna Reid left RED FACED as she makes Tito Jackson blunder
The brunette beauty and her co-host Piers Morgan were quizzing the entertainers about life in showbusiness when she asked about their niece.
Speaking about Paris' ambitions, Jackie said: "I guess it's in their blood. They watched us growing up when they were young. They love the business.
"That's what they want to do, so go ahead and do it. That's how we look at it."
His brother Tito added: "There’s a lot of talent in the family. We have a lot of singers and actors and actresses so you can’t stop a person’s dreams.
"They see their aunts and uncles doing what they do – usually we try and be like our parents and siblings and that’s what they do."

I'm not her co-guardian. That would be my son
However, the interview took an embarrassing turn when Susanna noted that Tito was a co-guardian to Paris and asked what advice he would give to her.
The 63-year-old awkwardly told the presenter that she had got her information wrong and he was not responsible for the youngster.
"I actually have to correct you there," he apologised. "I'm not her co-guardian. That would be my son. He's also called Tito."
A red-faced Susanna was clearly shocked by the blunder and simply muttered: "Oh… right."

Fortunately, Tito moved the interview along by adding that he would advise Paris to "keep her head on straight and use good judgement".
Viewers at home were clearly amused by her error, with one person warning Susanna: "@susannareid100 just make sure you know which Tito you are interviewing next time #oops #GMB."
The latest instalment also saw Piers Morgan clash with MP Jess Phillips over her opinion of Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn.
The presenter became infuriated with the politician when she failed to give a straight answer about the future of the party.
