'I was his girlfriend': Brady Bunch's Maureen McCormick opens up on relationship with Michael Jackson as she reveals the two were an item as teenagers

It's been almost a month since Maureen McCormick entered the South African jungle for I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

But it was only on Sunday's episode that the 58-year-old Brady Bunch starlet decided to drop the bombshell on contestants that she used to date Michael Jackson.

Maureen innocuously asked Chrissie Swan if she liked the King Of Pop before revealing 'we used to date.' 

 

Bombshell: Maureen McCormick, 58, revealed on Sunday's episode of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! that she dated Michael Jackson when the two were teenagers 

'We used to go roller skating in Woodland Hills [California], I used to go over to their house all the time,' she said casually.

The American actress explained that the two courted when she was 'probably 14, 15 or 16,' and when asked if the pair were officially boyfriend and girlfriend replied 'yeah.'

'We held hands and kissed on the cheeks, never on the lips,' Maureen dished, and boasted that the Jackson 5 were big fans of the Brady Bunch.

'It was so cute, he loved our show - they all did though. We used to go over and hangout and watch them rehearse.' 

'We would talk a lot and dream a lot and just, I think we admired each other and, yeah,' she regaled with a smile.
