Tito Jackson has revealed details of a reality TV show, The Jackson Dynasty, which follows the lives of the singer and his brothers.

"It basically shows the insides of the Jackson brothers, what they are about musically, their recording and their personal life," he told BBC 6 Music.

A pilot was shot in March, and filming will continue in the coming weeks.

Tito flew in to the UK to talk about an upcoming tour with Gladys Knight, where he will be performing Jackson 5 songs.

The singer said the reality series was part of the plan to re-form The Jacksons and would be "aired later on in the year."

We've had cameras follow us our whole entire lives, so that part of it is no problem.

US cable network A&E announced in August that their show, initially planned as a one-off documentary, would expanded into a series.

The pilot episode followed Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon Jackson prior to Michael's death in June.

There was no word on whether the late King of Pop would feature in the pilot, which focused on the brothers preparing for a concert tour.

Tito told the BBC he was not concerned about being filmed in the wake of Michael's death.

"We've had cameras follow us our whole entire lives, so that part of it is no problem and I have nothing in my life that I need to hide or whatever so I'm good with it. If anything, they're gonna see how many girlfriends I have," he said.

"We're getting ready to continue our shooting, as little as next week so we're going to pick it up in New York and go from there," he added.
