Former glamour model Jodie Marsh says she has put on some extra pounds but is happier than ever since launching a farm.
The animal lover ditched her lingerie for overalls in a major life overhaul back in 2020 and is enjoying life at Fripps Farm in Chelmsford, Essex.
The star now cares for around 350 animals including her horny emu Pam, meerkats, sheep, rabbits, a baby deer and more.

Jodie admitted she has become “fat” due to spending less time at the gym and more time at the farm.

Jodie 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.”
The former model is usually running around until 2 am looking after her furry friends – which is far away from her old boozy drunken nights out.
She added: “The reason I’m now fat and haven’t got a six-pack is because I don’t have time to eat properly or even do the food shopping. Not ever.

“I don’t gym at the moment either. I don’t have time. It’s manic.”
Jodie said she decided to follow her dreams after realising “life is too much” when her mother Kristina was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2020.
“I’d said my whole entire life I will have an animal sanctuary when I retire,” she said.

“So I just went, ‘F**k it, I’m doing it.’ And I started and it snowballed, and now here we are with 350 animals.”
The Daily Star previously reported how Jodie was visited by the RSPCA after she took her meerkat Mabel to the pub.
“No one made a fuss or complained about her – everyone is very supportive but I have a troll – I think it’s a woman – who is just out to cause trouble,” she said at the time.
