It looks like an ordinary ultrasound scan, with a blurry contrast of light and shade.

But to Dawn Kelley and William Hickman, it’s the face of Michael Jackson.

The imaginative couple say they can clearly see the face of the late pop star when they look at the picture of their unborn baby.

Mr Hickman, 29, a window cleaner, said: ‘I showed my daughter Ami, who’s six, and  she saw it straight away, so I thought “well, if she can see it too, it’s not  just me seeing things”.’

Mother-of-six- Dawn, 34, went for her 20-week scan at Sunderland Royal as normal last month, but doctors could not see the foetus’s stomach or diaphragm.

A few weeks later she was sent to a different medical centre for a closer look.

The more powerful scanner there is normally used to examine internal organs so  the images it produces are much more detailed.

Mr Hickman said: ‘We were looking at the pictures again, and I just saw Jacko there.

‘None of us are really Michael Jackson fans. I mean I like him, but we’re not  crazy about him or anything.’

Their children Chris, 16, Amanda, 15, Jason, 13, Alisha, 10, Ami-Lee, six, and Kye, four, say they can all see the singer’s face in the scan photo too.

But the couple won’t, however, be naming the new addition to their family after Jackson – they already know  they are having a girl.

Dawn, who is due to give birth to her daughter in March, said: ‘I’ve had plenty of scans before and none of the photos have ever looked like this one. It’s a bit spooky really.

‘But it is my seventh child, and they say seven is a mythical number.
