The former glamor model, now 45, has completely transformed her appearance, opting for a more natural, pared-back look. She gained fame in the 2000s for her provocative outfits, candid opinions, and romantic relationships with other celebrities. 

Fans of celebrity culture will immediately associate the word ‘belts’ with this particular star. Jodie Marsh, the Essex-born beauty, has transformed her life from appearing on reality shows and being a bodybuilder to becoming a farm girl and animal rights activist. She now wears comfortable clothes while working on her farm. 

Jodie Marsh, the Essex-born beauty, has transformed her life from appearing on reality shows and being a bodybuilder to becoming a farm girl and animal rights activist. 

Who is the star? It’s Jodie Marsh! 

Jodie burst onto the scene in 2002 with an appearance on The Sun’s now-defunct Page Three slot. 

Her feud with Katie Price, then using the moniker Jordan, propelled Jodie to even more considerable fame. Mud-slinging between the pair set tongues wagging.

She later became a tabloid sweetheart. Jodie later appeared on several reality shows before launching her foray into bodybuilding. Jodie placed 5th overall in Sheffield’s UK Natural Physique Association Bodybuilding Championships in October 2011.

She owns a nutritional firm called JST Nutrition. In 2021, the UK’s advertising watchdog, the Advertising Standards Authority, named her to a list of 122 Instagram influencers who have repeatedly violated ASA regulations.

Recently, she launched her animal sanctuary, Fripps Farm, in Great Dunmow, Essex. 

In her unrecognizable photo, she is makeup-free, her bleached hair pulled back into a ponytail. She is wearing a sweater that reads ‘Stop Eating Dead Animals’ and is posing with friends, including Jessie Wallace from EastEnders.  

Jodie’s sanctuary is home to over 400 animals, and she recently disclosed that it costs £16,000 per month to maintain. She uses her OnlyFans account to raise funds for the sanctuary. 

Jodie’s most recent social media post comes after she announced her split from her builder boyfriend, Mark. She had previously claimed that he was her ‘first adult relationship after dating a string of con men.’

On Saturday, the former glamor model shared a gallery of images on Instagram in various modeling poses and hinted at what went wrong in the relationship. 

She said, ‘This is why I’ll never find a life partner. Me: ‘I want a lovely, calm, happy, peaceful life, rescuing animals.’ I want to lie on the sofa, read books, and listen to music. 

I live a simple life in the countryside and want to plant rose bushes in the garden. I need a man who understands that my life is not all

glam and craziness, someone who wants to chill with me and enjoys the quiet times. 

This prompted a string of comments from her fans. They asked her about Mark and the builder guy. 

One fan suggested that she needs a man who doesn’t know the ‘old’ her and loves who she is now. 

Her current version enjoys both sides of life more peacefully, but people don’t seem to understand that. They think the wild nights and modeling is all she is, but that’s not the case. 

Unfortunately, men do not always realize that people change and grow up; that is their issue, not yours. I still have men I worked with 20 years ago talking to me as if I am the same person, even though I was not myself back then. Dealing with them is exhausting.

Mark works as a builder at her animal sanctuary, Fripps Farm, and they became official with each other last June. 

In December, she told MailOnline, ‘I’m finally in what I like to call an adult relationship.’ She added, ‘I’ve had a lot of trouble with boyfriends.’
