His love life has been just as tumultuous as his career, having walked down the aisle no fewer than 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 finalizing his divorce from his wife of 14 years, Michelle Cotton, last year.

Jim said he has already sold the Georgian cottage in Stockbridge, Hampshire, that the former couple shared and is ready for a 'new chapter'.

He claimed he is still on good terms with Michelle, whom he married in 2009, and will continue to visit his ex-wife, although he is too sad to see the dogs they once shared.

“Please, the divorce was finalized today, so it's finalized. I'm divorced again, my fifth divorce,” he said in an interview on his streaming platform Ustreme.

'The house has been sold and that will continue in March, fingers crossed. It's a new chapter for all of us.'

He added: “I spoke to Michelle today and wished her the best of luck. I agreed to take some stuff and pick up some bits and pieces.

'She said I was always welcome there. I said I was only going to do it when the dogs weren't there, so I asked that when I call to come over, she take the dogs for a walk, because I don't want to pile more grief on the situation. .'

He said people “don't think about that when you break up,” but that he has a “little stepdog now named Luna,” so he's “having a good time.”

Jim, who presented The Generation Game and Big Break in the 1990s, said he and Natasha “just take it day by day and enjoy it.”

He added, “You never know what's around the corner, especially in this crazy, crazy world.”

The comedian announced his split from Michelle in April last year after 20 years together, and was said to be devastated that they couldn't work things 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 in 1981, with whom he had a son Cameron (41), and they divorced five years later in 1986.

Just a 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 model Tracy Hilton – lasted ten years. 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 had to declare himself bankrupt in 2006 after failing to make repayments on an unpaid tax bill.

Transgender athlete Hailey Davidson must recognize that golf is a game of integrity and withdraw from female competition.

Then the Ladies Professional Golf Association must follow suit and seize this opportunity to undo their grave mistake – and restore the spirit of one of the longest-standing women's professional sports associations in the world.

Let me be clear: I do not come to these conclusions easily.

As the world's greatest athlete at age 26, a lifelong news and sports commentator, and the patriarch of one of the world's most famous families, I have a duty to lend my voice to the furious, evolving debate over transgenderism and elite sports competition .

This divisive issue has exploded again as the 30-year-old Davidson battles to earn a spot on the LPGA tour after winning the NXXT Women's Classic last week.

Today, far too many people are afraid to speak out at all, for fear of cancellation or retaliation.

Well, I'm not afraid – and my perspective can, humbly, cut through so much noise.

When I competed in the Olympics, the only thing on my mind was my competition. I had great respect for them and of course dedicated every fiber of my being to beating them on a level playing field.

But with all due respect, Davidson (who asks to be addressed by his/her pronouns) can't claim to compete with that same esprit de corps.

I am a transgender person who picked up the game of golf in my 50s, and played as an amateur, non-competitively, alongside men and women of all ages. I am sure there are physical differences between men and women that cannot be erased by modern medicine – especially after individuals go through male puberty.

And Davidson, who began gender transition in his early 20s and underwent gender reassignment surgery six years later, is stronger than the rivals.

Davidson has responded to some of this criticism by claiming that their strength has diminished significantly since the 'transition'.

“It's crazy how much misinformed hate I've received so far today,” Davidson wrote on Instagram. “All these people (think) I hit it 300 yards or even 280 yards. How about 250 on a good day.'

Maybe that's true. But a 250-yard drive would put Davidson in the top 13 longest running LGPA players today.

Davidson has responded to some of this criticism by claiming that their strength has diminished significantly since the 'transition'.

Davidson has never been more dominant as a male athlete.

I have had several off-the-record conversations with people in the competitive golf world, including those with the PGA, LPGA, LIV, Aramco, ownership groups and sponsors.

Their private feedback is overwhelmingly consistent.

Davidson was a mediocre male golfer who never had a real chance of making it to the PGA. But now Davidson has a shot at one of the most coveted spots in women's sports.

How is that fair to women?

Why can't Davidson, who earned a scholarship as a male athlete, compete against men?

The telling answer that some trans athletes in golf – and beyond – will never admit is that they would never make it.

Davidson has become illustrative of what many trans people and allies fear: a seemingly self-centered individual who does not think about the consequences of his actions and may actually harm others.

Finally, I ask the LPGA: Isn't it time you admit you made a mistake?

The LPGA was founded in 1950 by 13 ambitious women who wanted to give women's golfers a space in which they could compete and win. Founded about 30 years ago, the PGA tour has always been open to men and women. But the only time a woman ever broke through at a PGA tour event was in 1945 at the Los Angeles Open.

Davidson, who gender transitioned in his early 20s and underwent gender reassignment surgery six years later, is stronger than rivals.

It wasn't until 1981 that Kathy Whitworth became the first female player to earn $1 million in career earnings. Today, professional female golfers play on the LPGA tour for a total of $118 million in prize money.

That is an incredible achievement.

The LPGA tour has also been at the forefront of the fight for equal rights, notably rejecting a “Caucasians Only” policy before the tour's first black member joined in 1963.

To the tour's credit, I believe the LPGA's heart was in the right place. However, when the association voted in 2010 to remove the gender “at birth” requirement from their bylaws and allow transgender people who had undergone gender reassignment surgery to compete, they made a mistake.

The LPGA's fateful decision put the company on a slippery slope. It is likely that more opportunities will be denied to women, further undermining the LPGA's mission and casting a negative light on transgender people.

This is not about one person, one governing body or one sport.

This is a simple matter of honesty… and integrity.

Golf must take the lead.

Strictly's Karen Hauer continued to give a loved-up performance with ex-rugby player Simon Davidson as they left the first live show of the BBC tour in Birmingham on Friday – just hours after confirming the romance.

The Venezuelan dancer, 41, who split from husband of 16 months Jordan Wyn-Jones last year, held her handsome new boyfriend as she left the Utilita Arena.

Karen threw on a quirky oversized yellow jacket over a green tracksuit and slipped her feet into comfortable trainers after dancing her socks off on stage.

Meanwhile, Simon – who now works as a senior sports marketing manager for Adidas – kept a low profile in a hoodie and jeans after supporting Karen's first appearance.

The new romance comes after the pair were first spotted together at the BBC finale of the show in December after her shock divorced from husband Jordan.

Strictly's Karen Hauer, 41, continued to put on a loved-up display with ex-rugby player Simon Davidson as they left the BBC series' first live show in Birmingham on Friday – just hours after confirming the romance.

The Venezuelan dancer, who split from husband of 16 months Jordan Wyn-Jones last year, held her handsome new boyfriend as she left the Utilita Arena.

The Venezuelan dancer, who split from husband of 16 months Jordan Wyn-Jones last year, held her handsome new boyfriend as she left the Utilita Arena.

The dancer is said to have enjoyed a recent romantic getaway with the personal trainer and marketing executive after being introduced by co-star Gorka Marquez and his partner Gemma Atkinson.

A source said The mirror: 'Karen and Simon have a lot in common, so when Gemma and Gorka introduced them, we hit it off straight away'.

'Karen wanted to take things slow and at first they were friends for a while. But gradually things became romantic, and although they have tried to keep their relationship quiet, they are now a real couple.'

Adding: Karen's friends and family are happy because 2023 has been an incredibly difficult year for her and all they want is to see her happy.”

MailOnline contacted a representative for Karen for comment at the time.

Karen and her estranged husband Jordan got married in 2022 and described the ceremony at the time as a 'fairytale', but sources claimed the couple had gone their separate ways after a 'difficult time'.

Karen's estranged husband Jordan later told how their relationship crumbled just 16 months after their wedding day when Karen left for rehearsals, leaving him at home.

He told The Mail on Sunday: 'It's a bit of a love story, a sad story. I am incredibly sad that I am not in Karen's life, and not on this journey with her, but we are not a good fit in terms of her career. I will always admire her for her career, but it took a lot from her. She'd be gone and I'd be home alone.'

Central to their breakup was his desire to start a family conflicting with Karen's commitment to the show as its longest-serving professional.

After talking about having children, they moved from Karen's home in Wimbledon, south-west London, to the north of England, where they settled in the countryside with their four dogs.

But instead of fun evenings at home, Jordan says their relationship became a series of video and phone calls while his wife, an American-Venezuelan ballroom champion, traveled around the country.

“Karen is dedicated to her career, which she has worked very hard for,” Jordan said. “She's amazing and I admire her for that. That's one of the reasons I wanted to marry her – because of how powerful she is.

'But we wanted different things. There was a plan to have children, but there was no plan.

“When we first met, we discussed it. You say things like: 'I want to have children'. And she had told me that she would like to have children with me. But in the interview, Karen said, “Children are not the future” – which made me sad. I've always wanted to be a father.

'I wouldn't say it was a shock, but I knew subconsciously in the back of my mind…why would she want to have a child with me?

'I had become vacant in our relationship. I was loving and caring towards her, but I was vacant because of the situation we were in.”

Jordan said they broke down in tears when she admitted their marriage was over: “There were tears on both sides. Lots of tears and sadness. We didn't want to let go of each other, but we weren't right for each other either.

'If we had stayed together and not had a family, I feel like I would have hated her. This is the perfect time for us to love and leave each other.”

Pete Davidson had quite a message lately Aretha Franklin‘s family at her funeral while high on ketamine.

“It’s embarrassing, though, when you stop using ketamine,” Davidson, 30, said during his Netflix special Pete Davidson: Turbo Fonzarelli, which premiered on Tuesday, January 9. “I was on the road in no time. That’s not cool, you know? I was at funerals like that. That’s screwed up, right? I was so at Aretha Franklin’s funeral.

Joking that Franklin will “never know” he was on the drug, Davidson said she probably would have asked him, “Hey, who are you?” And what the hell are you doing at my funeral?’” (Davidson attended the funeral as a then-fiancée Ariana Grande‘s plus one.)

“It’s humiliating. I’m so high that I thought it would be a good idea to go to her family and say, ‘Hey, I’m just here to show my RESPECT,'” he recalled.

At the 2018 funeral at Greater Grace Temple in Detroit, Michigan, Grande, 30, performed her rendition of Franklin’s “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman.” Grande had previously sung the tune during her performance at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon the day of Franklin’s death in August 2018. (We weekly confirmed at the time that Franklin died at age 76 after a battle with pancreatic cancer.)

This is not the first time that the Saturday evening live alum has opened up about using ketamine. While standing next to the stage John Mulaney And Jon Stewart during their “Jon, John & Pete” tour in September 2023, Davidson revealed that he had been using the drug for four years.

Earlier that year, multiple media outlets reported that Davidson entered rehab after struggling with PTSD and borderline personality disorder. Weeks before Davidson’s alleged admission to the facility, Us confirmed that he was charged with reckless driving after crashing his car into a house in Beverly Hills, California. (TMZ was the first to report that Davidson lost control of the vehicle while driving with then-girlfriend in March 2023 Chase Sui wonders. He was not arrested at the time and authorities did not believe drugs or alcohol played a role in the accident.)

In July 2023, Davidson was placed under a diversion program, which allows eligible defendants to skip jail time if they complete treatment and education classes. Davidson was ordered to complete 50 hours of community service and 12 hours of traffic school, as well as complete a mortuary course on victims of reckless drivers, according to the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office.

She said Hello! magazine: ‘Advisory. You know what I think communication is huge, but learning to communicate, you know, so we get outside help.

“So when we have tough moments or something like that, it’s just seeing and understanding the vulnerable side of each other, and knowing that we’re both working on things because nobody’s perfect.”

She added: ‘There is no such thing as a happy marriage or a happy relationship with the perfect couple.

“It’s about dealing with things the right way and not just running away from things, and I think that allows us to understand and understand each other even better.”

Pete Davidson canceled his last stand-up performance just two hours before he was scheduled to take the stage.

The Beacon Theater in New York City announced on Friday, December 22, that Davidson’s scheduled show for that evening had been canceled, along with his Saturday, December 23, which was scheduled to take place at the same venue. A message shared via the theater’s official X account informed attendees that refunds would be issued automatically. The Beacon provided no further details about what led to the cancellation.

Earlier on Friday, the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust in Pennsylvania announced that Davidson’s scheduled show on January 2 had also been canceled due to “unforeseen circumstances.”

Davidson, 30, returned to stand-up in September for a mini-tour with fellow comedians John Mulaney And Jon Stewart after a period of rehabilitation earlier this year. In June, multiple outlets reported that the Saturday evening live alum checked himself into a facility after struggling with PTSD and borderline personality disorder.

Davidson’s admission to the facility came weeks after he left an explicit voicemail Daphna Nachminovitch, the senior vice president of cruelty investigations at PETA. His rant was in response to Nachminovitch releasing a statement condemning Davidson’s decision to buy a cavapoo puppy for his mother instead of adopting it from a shelter.

The comedian later told TMZ that he wanted “a specific hypoallergenic dog” because he is allergic to most breeds and believed that adopting such a dog “wasn’t an option, and if it was, it was rare .”

In November, Davidson made headlines during a solo stand-up show when he called out an audience member for filming with a cell phone during his set at New York’s City Winery. According to an eyewitness, Davidson interrupted his set to approach the person filming and shouted, “F–k you.”

Davidson then instructed his security guard to escort the person out of the room before saying he would “pay $10,000 to lock him up.” [your phones].” (Like many comedians, Davidson now asks his showgoers to seal their phones in Yondr pouches that cannot be unlocked during the performance.)

During the show, Davidson also joked about the March car accident he was involved in with his ex-girlfriend Chase Sui wonders. He said the incident was the first time he had been sober in almost 15 years. He further joked that he was now willing to sign up to fulfill Make-A-Wish requests to get “good press,” which becomes more necessary “once you drive into a house.”

Davidson lost control of his vehicle while driving in a residential neighborhood in Beverly Hills and crashed into the side of a house. He was later charged with one misdemeanor count of reckless driving and ordered to complete 50 hours of community service and 12 hours of traffic school.

My Mum, Your Dad stars Elliott Davidson and Sharon Benson have split, MailOnline can reveal.

Their split means there is only one couple left from the hit ITV dating show, postman Roger Hawes and singer Janey Smith.

Sources close to Elliott and Sharon, both 53, claim the distance between the couple was the main factor behind the break-up, but they hope to remain good friends.

Gym teacher Elliott lives in Essex while Sharon lives in Sunderland and insiders claim they struggled to spend quality time together.

The source told MailOnline: ‘Elliott and Sharon had every intention of making their relationship work, but they knew it was always going to be difficult.

Their children Zach, Elliott's son, and Tia, Sharon's daughter, who also starred on the show as matchmakers alongside other contestants' children, were a huge support to the relationship.

“Elliott’s job really only allowed him to visit Sharon outside of the school year and she had her own life-changing issues, namely her mother’s passing. They parted on good terms and will remain friends.

‘You never know what could happen in the future, but they are so happy they met on the show and thoroughly enjoyed their time dating. But this time it wasn’t meant to be.’

Fans of the ITV couple quickly noticed there could be trouble in paradise as both Elliott and Sharon ignored questions about their relationship on social media but were happy to answer other questions.

Sharon also unfollowed Elliott on Instagram, raising concerns that all was not well.

Elliott and Sharon formed a strong bond within days of meeting on the dating show, which aired in September, but it took a while for the latter to open up and reveal her true feelings for the teacher.

Their children Zach, Elliott’s son, and Tia, Sharon’s daughter, who also starred on the show as matchmakers alongside other contestants’ children, were a huge support to the relationship.

And after the show ended, it seemed like the couple took big steps to make their relationship work on the outside, posting photos of themselves with their loved ones alongside the caption “blended,” followed by a love heart emoji.

They also planned to live in Elliott’s newly renovated home in Essex with Sharon’s other daughter Mimi.

Sharon said: ‘A lot of people have asked if we are going to move in together and who is moving where. We’ve talked about this and I think we’re moving south. Tia lived in Essex for three years, I know Essex and there are more opportunities for Mimi as she gets older too.’

However, after an initial flurry of loved-up snaps on social media, the pair have been quiet of late, with Sharon staying in the North East.

The welfare officer posted a message to her Instagram Stories in November admitting that she had had a “tough few months” and that it was time to focus on her “body and soul.”

She recently lost her beloved mother, who Elliott met before she passed away during her father’s 80th birthday celebrations, which has contributed to her recent struggles.

But tellingly, the message did not contain any reference to Elliott, just “family and wonderful friends” who she praised for being there for her.

Meanwhile, widower Roger, 59, and Janey, 47, have seen their relationship blossom as the pair delight fans with regular updates on their romance.

They too have the challenge of a long-distance relationship, with Roger from Derbyshire and Janey in West Sussex, but the pair make it all work.

The third couple to emerge from the show, Paul Edwards, 47, and Natalie Russell, 44, ended shortly after the series wrapped.

ITV confirmed last month that My Mum, Your Dad, presented by Davina McCall, will return for a second series next year.

MailOnline has contacted Sharon and Elliott for comment.

A grief-stricken father describes the moment he came face to face with the killer driver who mowed down his three children.

Danny and Leila Abdallah’s children Antony, 13, Angelina, 12, Sienna, eight, and their niece Veronique Sakr, 11, were walking on a footpath to buy ice cream in Oatlands, in Sydney’s west, when they were hit by a car and murdered on February 1, 2020.

The driver Samuel Davidson was under the influence of drugs and alcohol at the time. He is serving a twenty-year prison sentence.

The Abdallahs will tell 500 people gathered at the Australian National Prayer Breakfast at Parliament House in Canberra on Monday that they are in contact with the driver.

Mr Abdallah has visited Davidson in prison, while Ms Abdallah also plans to do so Daily telegram reported.

Mr Abdallah went to confront the driver during an organized prison visit, admitting he was unsure how the meeting would go.

In an extraordinary gesture of forgiveness, the heartbroken father reached out to the killer driver, sparking an outpouring of emotions.

“I shook his hand and he fell to his knees, put his head on the ground and said, ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry I took your kids,’” he said.

‘He cried and I cried, you can just see that no one has won in this.

“I was at a crossroads in my life and the hardest question as a parent is whether you can lose your entire family in bitterness and seek revenge, or you can keep half your family and find forgiveness.”

Former Prime Minister Scott Morrison, who has grown close to the family, revealed how the tragedy was one of the most difficult days of his leadership.

The horrific incident coincided with the closure of Australia’s border areas at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Speaking about the Abdallahs and Sakrs, Mr Morrison became emotional during an interview on Sky News for a new documentary on the Liberal Party.

‘I’ll never forget that day. It was actually the day my dear friends Danny, Leila Abdallah and Bridget Sakr lost their children in that terrible accident in Oatlands, on the same day…sorry,” he said.

“They had every right to be furious, they had every right to be vengeful, they had every right to lash out and they chose a different path.

“And I know why they did that, because we share the same faith.”

Sienna, eight, Angelina, 12, and Antony, 13, all died in the tragic incident on February 1, 2020

Sienna, eight, Angelina, 12, and Antony, 13, all died in the tragic incident on February 1, 2020

Last month, Abdallah announced that his wife Leila was pregnant with their eighth child.

‘Leila is doing well, she is pregnant again. I got one past the keeper! And yes, she has been quite busy with the kids,” he told 2GB at the time.

Mr Abdallah also revealed that Oatlands Golf Club had finally agreed to allow a memorial to be erected at the site of the crash in honor of his children.

The family hope it will be completed before Christmas, with Mr Abdallah saying it will bring ‘closure’ to their lives.

The Abdallahs had welcomed the birth of a baby girl in March last year and with another baby on the way, the couple will be parents to five surviving children.

The 2020 crash rocked the country, with many impressed by the Abdallahs’ remarkable act of forgiveness for the driver just days later.

The couple later founded the i4give Foundation – to coincide with the anniversary of the crash – to commemorate their lost loved ones and help others in similar situations.

The Abdallahs have also filed a civil suit against Davidson.

The legal action, which is believed to involve Davidson’s insurance policy, seeks payment for ongoing trauma for the family and for children who were injured but survived the catastrophic accident.

DailyMail.com has contacted Davidson representatives for comment.

Pete is one of many comedians who enjoy doing stand-up without the distraction of phones in the crowds.

Ticket holders must keep their devices locked in Yondr pouches throughout the show so the comedian can perform in a phone-free environment.

The many topics Pete touched on during his set included his addiction issues and jokes about his attempts to get “good press” after his car accident earlier this year.

Davidson performed twice that evening; a second show was added after the first sold out.

Pete is currently in a relationship with Madelyn Cline.

The pair’s blossoming romance first came to light last month, but despite enjoying their time together, they reportedly don’t consider their romance “serious.”

The comedian was spotted flying with Madelyn from Phoenix, Arizona, days after they enjoyed a whirlwind 24 hours in Vegas last weekend.

Now an insider has exclusively told DailyMail.com that while Madelyn, 25, is having “fun” with the 29-year-old comedian, she doesn’t believe the relationship will be anything more than “a good time.”

“Madelyn expects that her current relationship with Pete will be a fun one and that it won’t be her last,” the source said.

“She thinks he’s hilarious and fun and she wants to hang out with him, but she’s 25 and she doesn’t want anything serious, she wants to chase fun, and she thinks Pete feels the same way and their relationship is like that too. all about having fun.

“It’s not serious in any way, she’s taking it day by day and that’s the only thing that’s working for her at the moment. Pete shouldn’t expect her to be his soulmate, she doesn’t radiate those vibrations.’

Last month, Us Weekly reported that the couple “spent the night together” at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

The insider said, “Pete and Madelyn are dating. They spent the night together at the Beverly Hills Hotel and had breakfast together there the next morning.

“They were very quiet and kept it informal, wearing baseball caps.”

On Saturday, the couple reportedly traveled to Sin City together and stayed at Resorts World Las Vegas for Pete’s show.

The new couple are said to have recharged in the luxurious Crockfords Entertainment Suite and spent time in the resort’s Allē Lounge at 66, with sweeping views of the Las Vegas Strip.

The comedian dated Chase from December 2022 until news of their split came to light in August – just two months after he entered rehab amid his ongoing battle with borderline personality disorder and PTSD.

When they split, a separate source told Us Weekly, “There is no bad blood or hard feelings between them.

“Their relationship just ran its course and they decided they just wanted different things.”
