CONTROVERSIAL comedian Jim Davidson is set to return to the Isle of Wight later this week, just days after a national newspaper reported on a boozy night out that left him needing help from friends outside a Yarmouth pub.
The renowned entertainer will bring his Jim Davidson – Last Man Standing … Just! tour to Newport's Medina Theatre on Friday (July 17).
Last week, national tabloid newspaper The Sun reported that Davidson, 72, had spent the day on the Island after arriving aboard his yacht, Lady Natasha, before dining at The Hut in Colwell Bay, which he described as the best restaurant in the country.
He later socialised with fellow yachtsmen in Yarmouth.
The newspaper said the evening ended with the comedian collapsing on the road outside, between The George Hotel and Salty's restaurant, and being helped up by drinking companions.
Speaking about the night, Davidson joked: "I found out what the term 'legless' means".
He also reportedly described the evening as "a bit of harmless fun".
According to The Sun, Davidson later detailed the amount of alcohol he had consumed during an all-day drinking session, joking that "it must have been that last scotch that did it".
