He is now engaged to his new fiancée Natasha, 47

Jim Davidson is set to become a husband for the sixth time after getting engaged to his girlfriend of a few months.

The comedian, 70, went public with his 47-year-old girlfriend just months after splitting from ex-wife Michelle Cotton.


He’d been married to Cotton for 14 years, and attended a party earlier this week with new fiancée, Natasha.

The Daily Mail reports party-goers shared how the comic had been telling everyone his new girlfriend was “the one” and how he wanted to marry her.

Natasha will become the comedian’s sixth wife after the couple got engaged, and he is no stranger to tying the knot.

Davidson first walked down the aisle with Sue Walpole back in 1971. The two share one daughter, Sarah Walpole-Davidson, who’s 51. Davidson and Walpole broke up after just a year of marriage.

He moved onto wife number two 10 years later when he married Julie Gullick, whom he shares son Cameron, 41, with.

The couple were married for five years before divorcing in 1986. One year later he tied the knot again, this time with journalist and TV presenter Alison Holloway.

After two years, he found himself going through another divorce before wedding his fourth wife, former Page 3 model Tracey Hilton.

They got married in 1990 and share three children: Charlie, 34, Fred, 32 and Elsie, 31, and got divorced in 2000.

Before his most recent split from Cotton, Jim had admitted his previous divorces had cost him £60million.

Speaking on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories, he reflected: “It’s how much money I've spent over the years. Getting on to £50-£60million must have passed through my hands.”

He went on to claim each marriage break up was the fault of the woman, replying: “Absolutely” when asked by Morgan if they had been to blame.

Davidson found fame when, as a regular at a Woolwich pub, he stepped in when a comedian failed to show up.

He went on to become a regular in the London comedy circuit and successfully auditioned for New Faces, coming second in the overall contest.

He went on to make a name in TV comedy for himself and soon became a fan favourite.
