James Cameron Davidson OBE (born 13 December 1953) is an English stand-up comedian, actor, singer and TV presenter. He hosted the television shows Big Break and The Generation Game. He also developed two adult pantomime shows, Boobs in the Wood and Sinderella. In September 2007, Davidson participated in the celebrity reality TV programme Hell's Kitchen and attracted negative media attention over homophobic bullying towards TV presenter and openly gay contestant Brian Dowling. Davidson asked Dowling, "Are you on our side?" when referring to whether or not he would be participating for the boys' or girls' team. Davidson used the word " shirt-lifters" in front of him, and constantly asked if Dowling would like to try on one of " John Virgo's lovely waistcoats", which Davidson owns. Davidson later described himself as a " homophobic arsehole". The programme was broadcast on ITV on 4 September 2007. [21] On 10 September, Davidson was asked to leave Hell's Kitchen, [22] following further confrontations with Dowling. [21] After Davidson's exit from the programme, the BBC reported that the broadcasting watchdog Ofcom had received 46 complaints alleging that Davidson had bullied Dowling. Ofcom concluded that nothing unacceptable had happened, but ITV, the channel which had originally broadcast the programme, issued a statement, regretting Davidson's "unacceptable remarks".

In 1995, British comedian Jim Davidson produced and starred in Sinderella, an adults-only Pantomime version of the fairy tale " Cinderella". One of the performances was recorded for a video entitled Sinderella Live.Dirty, British humour at its best. The fact that out of the whole cast practically only Cinderella and Prince Charming are the only ones who actually seemed to be following the script like normal and that, according to my friend, at least Jim and Charlie Drake were tipsy throughout just makes the rest of the show even funnier, you never knew what was going to be said. Davidson again faced controversy in December 2007, when he made a joke about rape victims during a show at the Newark Palace Theatre, in Nottinghamshire. A local paper, the Nottingham Evening Post, stated that: "there were moments when he did stray too far over the line (most notably with a routine on rape)."
