Jodie Marsh
Jodie Marsh (born 23 December 1978) is best known for working as a glamour model and as a Page Three girl. She was born in Brentwood, Essex in the United Kingdom.
Early life
Marsh's father ran a successful scaffolding business which allowed her to enjoy an affluent lifestyle. This led to her being featured on the reality TV show Essex Wives and consequently landing a modelling contract.
Jodie had surgery on her nose at the age of 15, resulting in a ski-jump like tip. Rival glamour-model Jordan has described her nose as resembling "a builder's elbow" and likened her breasts to a spaniel's ears. But Jodie has given as good as she got - saying that Jordan's nose was as hooked as a witch's! She was once turned down as a Page Three girl and has the rejection letter framed.
She left school with 11 GCSEs (all A and B grades). She also has 3 A-levels. Whilst at school she was subjected to bullying and is a supporter of the anti-bullying charity Beatbullying.
Current life
Jodie is known for having arguments with other models, most notably Jordan, and a string of high-profile relationships widely reported in the British tabloid newspapers, including club boss Fran Cosgrave, male model Calum Best, Westlife singer Kian Egan and ex-Blazin' Squad singer and Celebrity Big Brother 2005 runner-up James McKenzie.
Marsh is a vegetarian and a supporter of PETA, along with other charities.
Jodie has taken part in a variety of reality TV shows, including Trust Me I'm A Holiday Rep (with other celebs such as Syd Little), Channel 4's The Games and Sky One's Celebrity Penthouse.
In January 2006, she appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in the UK. She quickly caused controversy amongst the housemates, notably Pete Burns, Michael Barrymore and George Galloway. Her treatment led to complaints of bullying by some of her hardcore fans. Jodie wept predicably during her post-eviction interview with Davina McCall.
She appeared, however, to establish a close friendship with fellow housemate Chantelle Houghton. On Friday 13th January, Jodie was first to be voted out of the Big Brother house.
Jodie regularly updates her blog on her official website. She has also written a book called Keeping It Real.
