He added that Natalie saw him as a 'gay best friend' because of his camp humour.
David told hosts: 'We haven't gone on any dates. We became very good friends and we stayed together.
'But you know, it's hard not to fall for her like a ton of bricks because she's amazing. I think I'm seen by many as a gay man's best friend.
Reflecting on why things never progressed romantically, David joked: 'Well, look at me. Let's be honest, she could do better.
David was married to Dutch model Laura Stone before dating a string of high-profile women over the years, including Geri Halliwell and model Abby Titmus.
The couple, who share 11-year-old son Alfred, split in 2015, with the divorce court hearing lasting 60 seconds.
David, who stepped down from his Britain's Got Talent judging role in 2022 after making 'disrespectful comments' about contestants, is now back. Working on new projects with Little Britain co-star Matt Lucas.
