Jim Davidson has called off his sixth wedding.

The 72-year-old comedian and Natasha, 49, lost their £10,000 deposit after cancelling their planned 2025 nuptials at Hampton Court Palace - a nod to his five failed marriages, as the historic venue is the former home of King Henry VIII and his six wives.

Although Jim and Natasha have split because their busy schedules made it difficult to spend time together, he insists there is "no bad blood" between them.

The Celebrity Big Brother 2014 winner added to The Sun: "Natasha is the most caring and dutiful person.

"It’s not like we’re splitting up because we don’t love each other anymore. It’s a sort of a grown-up separation. The timing’s not right because she has so much time for everybody and how can you knock that?"

Jim noted that he and Natasha, who met at the Southampton Boat Show in 2023, not long after he split from his fifth wife Michelle Cotton after 14 years, "still speak every other day".

But added: "Whether we’ll ever find room to see one another again, I don’t know.

"She is very dutiful. She puts family first. And of course she has three children and now a grandson as well.

"She is just so busy, and so I’m very busy as well. I’ve just finished a tour and my a*** 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.

"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 attended Reform Party leader Nigel Farage's 60th birthday bash at Boisdale's in Canary Wharf with Natasha in 2024, and told everyone how excited he was to marry her - before the plans eventually fell through.

Jim said: "We planned to get married last year and even booked Hampton Court Palace, which we thought was great because Natasha would be the sixth wife, and she thought that was hysterical.

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

"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.

"I said to her, 'Are you going to give me my jewellery back?' And she told me, 'If you want it back, I’ll just get it from someone else.'

"She’s a beautiful girl. How she found time for me, I’ve no idea. She does everything for everybody and asks nothing for herself."

The Big Break host repeated that "there's no bad feelings" between him and Natasha, and admitted he still has feelings for her.

He said: "I do love her. She’s fantastic.

"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 fiancee's honour.

Jim previously admitted he had racked up around £60 million in divorce costs, and has now ruled out a potential new wife in the future.

The star joked: "The only thing that’s in my life now is a Hyundai Santa Fe and a dressing room."
