Jim Davidson has called off his sixth wedding, having already amassed £60million in divorce fees over the years.

The 72-year-old comedian was due to marry partner Natasha, 49, in 2025, but they cancelled their planned nuptials, losing their £10,000 deposit as a result.

Jim and Natasha had booked their ceremony at Hampton Court Palace, a tongue-in-cheek nod to his five previous failed marriages, as the historic venue is also where King Henry VIII and his six wives lived.

However, the engaged couple split before making it down the aisle, citing busy schedules as the reason.

Still, he insists there is ‘no bad blood’ between them and has described his ex as ‘the most caring and dutiful person’.

Speaking to The Sun, the Celebrity Big Brother 2014 winner explained that they aren’t separating ‘because [they] don’t love each other anymore’, calling it a ‘grown-up’ breakup.

‘The timing’s not right because she has so much time for everybody, and how can you knock that?’, he shared, adding that they ‘still speak every day’.

Jim met Natasha at the Southampton Boat Show in 2023, not long after he split from his fifth wife, Michelle Cotton, after 14 years.

‘Whether we’ll ever find room to see one another again, I don’t know,’ he said of the future with Natasha, who ‘puts family first’, including her three children and a grandson.

‘She is just so busy, and so I’m very busy as well. I’ve just finished a tour, and my a**e is shaped like my car seat after travelling around the country. I get out of the car, and I walk like I’m still in it,’ Jim quipped.

‘Our busy lives mean we’ve not been seeing one another. I previously fitted into her life because I’m hardly ever around myself.’

Jim spoke publicly about his engagement to Natasha in 2024 when he attended Reform Party leader Nigel Farage’s 60th birthday party at Boisdale’s in Canary Wharf.

He and Natasha were there together, and the TV personality told guests how excited he was to marry her – Natasha even thought it was ‘hysterical’ that they were planning to say ‘I do’ at their selected venue, since she’d be Jim’s sixth wife.

‘But these days we just don’t have the time to see each other and split up every month,’ Jim revealed.

‘So going forward, we might end up seeing each other again, or we might draw a line under it because it’s not practical for the pair of us.’

He concluded by calling her a ‘beautiful girl’, questioning how she ‘found time’ for him in the first place, since she ‘does everything for everybody and asks for nothing herself’.

The Big Break host stressed that there are no hard feelings, and he still ‘loves’ her.

‘She’s the best friend you could ever have. She’s the best mother you could ever have. She’s the best daughter you could ever have. And I’m so proud that she was my girlfriend up until now.’

Jim was first married to Sue Walpole from 1971 until 1972, before getting hitched to Julie Gullick in 1981, with their marriage ending five years later.

In 1987, he wed Alison Holloway, but they divorced the following year, before he tied the knot with Tracy Hilton in 1990, whom he split from in 2000.

Jim went on to marry Michelle in 2009, and they separated in 2023, with their divorce finalised the following year.

The Generation Game presenter – who has five children from three of his marriages – renamed his £350,000 yacht from Princess Mitchie after Michelle to Lady Natasha in his former fiancée’s honour.

But it seems like he won’t be marrying again – at least, he has no desire to, having ruled out another wife after past divorces cost him millions.

‘The only thing that’s in my life now is a Hyundai Santa Fe and a dressing room,’ he joked.
