His love life has been as tumultuous as his career, having walked down the aisle an impressive five times.
And now, controversial comedian Jim Davidson has ‘started a new chapter’ with a girlfriend called Natasha, who is 23 years his junior – after finalising his divorce from wife of 14 years, Michelle Cotton last year.
Jim said that he has already sold the Georgian cottage in Stockbridge, Hampshire, that the former couple shared and is ready for a ‘new chapter.’
He claimed that he is still on good terms with Michelle, whom he wed in 2009, and will continue to visit his ex-wife, although he is too sad to see the dogs they once shared.
‘There you go, the divorce came through today, so it’s done. I’m divorced again, my fifth divorce,’ he said in an interview posted on his streaming platform, Ustreme.

‘The house has been sold and that will be going through in March, fingers crossed. It’s a new chapter for all of us.’
He added: ‘I’ve spoken to Michelle today and wished her the best of luck. I’ve arranged to take some stuff and pick up some bits and pieces.
‘She said I was welcome around there any time. I said I was only going to do it if the dogs weren’t there so I’ve asked that if I call up to go round that she take the dogs for a walk because I don’t want to heap anymore sadness on the situation.’
He said that people ‘don’t think of that when you split up’ but that he’s got a ‘little step-dog now called Luna’ so he’s ‘having a great time.’
Jim, who hosted The Generation Game and Big Break in the 1990s, said he and Natasha are ‘just taking it day by day and enjoying ourselves.’
He added: ‘You never know what’s round the corner, especially in this mad, mad world.’
The comic announced his split from Michelle in April last year after two decades as a couple and was said to be devastated that they couldn’t work it out.
His first marriage was to childhood sweetheart Sue Walpole in 1971 and they had daughter Sarah Walpole-Davidson, now 51, before divorcing a year later.

He married Julie Gullick, with whom he had son Cameron, 41, in 1981 and they went on to divorce five years later in 1986.
Just one year later he walked down the aisle with journalist and TV presenter Alison Holloway but their marriage lasted less than two years.
His fourth marriage in 1990 – to former Page 3 model Tracy Hilton – lasted for a decade. The couple had three children together: Charlie, 34, Fred, 32, and Elsie, 31.
Jim has previously admitted that his costly divorces have cost him around £60 million. He was forced to declare himself bankrupt in 2006 after failing to keep up with the repayments on an unpaid tax bill.
