Nigel Farage on LBC radio that the reason for his anger had been that the demonstrations had almost prevented him "from getting his pie and mash". Personal life Davidson has written two autobiographies; The Full Monty (1993) and Close to the Edge (2001). Davidson's numerous marriages prompted the actor John Mills to send a Telemessage on the occasion of his fourth, which read simply: "Will It Last?" The marriage ended ten years later. Davidson subsequently returned the compliment to Mills and his wife on their 60th wedding anniversary, with a Telemessage bearing the same wording. In March 2004, Davidson, a Conservative Party supporter, publicly left the United Kingdom for the tax haven of Dubai, United Arab Emirates in protest at the then-Labour party government under Tony Blair, although it was also noted by HMRC at the time that his move coincided with an unpaid tax bill of approximately £700,000. At the time, he declared that "I may as well go to Dubai and be an ethnic minority there than wait five years till I become one here." He moved back to the UK after living in Dubai for five years. He has also expressed sympathy for UKIP leader Nigel Farage, describing the party as "the Jim Davidson of the political world". Davidson is a supporter of Charlton Athletic, the local club in the area where he grew up. In the 1980s, he was a director at AFC Bournemouth. On 18 June 2014, Davidson attended the assault trial of former N-Dubz rapper Dappy. "Dappy is a good friend of mine. I don't know what's happened in this case but I'm just here to show him my support," Davidson said. Dappy declined Davidson's offer to serve as a character witness. Family Davidson has been married five times. His first four marriages ended in divorce, and he has five children by three wives: Sue Walpole (married 1971; divorced 1972), 1 child Julie Gullick (married 1981; divorced 1986), 1 child Alison Holloway (married 1987; divorced 1988) Tracy Hilton (married 1990; divorced 2000), 3 children Michelle Cotton (married 2009) Credits Television Big Break (222 episodes) New Faces Stand Up Jim Davidson Pingwings The Generation Game (143 episodes) The Jim Davidson Show Up the Elephant and Round the Castle (22 episodes) Home James!
