As for his popularity - I'm not sure he has a fanbase necessarily but I'm pretty sure that he's picking up support from people who are sick of seeing Linda's 'Wronged Woman' act.”
He has a very large fanbase and one which CBB and his HMs have never thought about. He founded the British Forces Foundation and since the Falklands he has been heavily involved with supporting the Forces. He performs at various bases and out postings and puts himself out for the charity, sometime at his own expense.
The British Forces Foundation, which he set up in 1999 in in order to entertain the Forces with first class entertainment and numerous artists are happy to work and support BFF, it is not a small charity. Jim founded it, Maggie Thatcher was President and Prince Charles is the patron, Jim Davidson is the Vice President. Those involved are the Paralympic Gold Medalist Dame Tanni Grey-Tompson, the clue being in paralympic. Matt Lucas, David Walliams, Ray Winstone, Katherine Jenkins, James Blunt and Jimmy Carr give their time to the charity.
Having supported the Forces for the past 30 plus years, whether you believe in them or not, he will have built up a very large and loyal following amongst past and present serving Officers, Ratings as well as their families, most probably including several generations. Not a bad fanbase to have and furthermore they are very loyal to Mr Davidson.
I am not in the Forces, but I am impressed with his charity work and how he has conducted himself in the house.
