People 'didn’t even recognise' former model Jodie Marsh in wholesome new career move

Jodie Marsh shot to fame in the noughties as a glamour model and TV personality

Jodie Marsh has had a total career change - and people say they barely recognise her after seeing videos of her new venture.

Jodie, now 45, rose to fame back in the noughties as a glamour model and TV personality, but she's since quit fame for something very different.

Back in the day, Marsh starred in the likes of Essex Wives, Back to Reality, Celebrity Big Brother and Totally Jodie Marsh.

Speaking to GB News in 2022 about how she almost became a lawyer before rising to fame, Jodie said: "I went to the best private school ever and then I just became a lap dancer.

“I used to go to Stringfellows on a night out and I was sitting there one night and somebody said ‘why do you keep coming here for a night out, you should work here.’

“The guy said yeah you could make a fortune, and I said how much are we talking and he said at the time it was about £2k per week or something like that.

“Anyway I ended up working there and I made about 10k per week, it was great fun.”

Following years spent in front of the camera, Jodie has taken on a totally new venture - she now runs non-profit animal rescue organisation, Fripps Farm.

She told The Sun: "You might recognise me as someone that used to be glamorous, sexy, a bodybuilder and everything else, but now I'm just a farm girl and I look a mess.

“I'm doing what I always should have been doing, 100 per cent.”

Jodie looks after over 300 animals at the centre and regularly posts about them on social media.

Since sharing her new career online, people have said they barely recognise the star.

One person wrote: "I didn't even recognise her."

Others were so impressed with the move, with another adding: "This is the best version of Jodie…. Her beautiful heart."

And a third said: "Jodie Marsh has found her vocation. I like her so much more for being her authentic self."

And a fourth said: "This woman is amazing . Anyone who cares and looks after animals. Says a lot about who they really are. BEAUTIFUL INSIDE & OUT."

Marsh founded the farm back in 2020 and was inspired to open the organisation after her mum sadly passed away.

"Jodie had wanted an animal sanctuary her whole life and it was her mum’s passing that made her realise that life is too short and that she needed to get on and do it and so it began," the website explains.

"It snowballed very quickly, starting with some dogs and a couple of goats to where we are now with over 250 animals."
