Michael loves danger and takes big risks to get his own way. He's also very competitive and flashy, with a manipulative, jealous nature. He wouldn’t think twice about screwing people over – even those he loves.

Love isn't something that comes easy for Michael. His relationship with son Tommy is lukewarm at best. However, in winning the heart of Janine, Michael has shown his warmer side. But is it really her he loves? Or her healthy bank balance?

And will he be a good father to their child? Well... would you choose Michael to be your daddy dearest?
