FORMER glamour model Jodie Marsh has given a health update after claiming she’s “fat but happier than ever.”
The ex Page 3 girl, who recently traded her hard partying socialite reputation for a new life running an animal sanctuary, has opened up on her wellbeing after upping sticks to rural Essex.

Jodie, donning a wool hat and leggings in stark contrast to her racy strappy-belt outfits of old, took to Instagram to address her “anxiety/depression, aches and pains.”
The 46-year-old, who had a longstanding feud with fellow glamour model of the day Katie Price, also 46, told how CBD oil had proved essential for her daily wellbeing.
She filmed herself perched on a sofa, with her short-sleeve top flashing her arm tattoos, as she chatted to a male pal.
Jodie who had glammed up with smokey eye make-up and red lipstick spoke passionately about the oil and said she had “never had a bad word said about it.”
In a candid Instagram caption she wrote: “Anyone with anxiety/depression any aches or pain or insomnia NEEDS TO TRY THIS.”
Jodie then added: “It changed my life you just need the 6000mg oil and works straight away.”
Her health reveal comes after she spoke exclusively to The Sun about her new life.
The model-turned-bodybuilder- who put her huge country pile on the market last year – spoke of her more casual look and said: “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.”
Jodie, who built up her sanctuary Fripps Farm with ponies, swans and a parrot, 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 used to cook healthy meals and don’t have time for that anymore.
“I don’t gym at the moment either. I don’t have time. It’s manic.”
Yet the star, who did doll up for NYE in a striking cut-out gown, has gushed she is “happier than ever” with her life choices.
She recently joked with her Instagram fans how she is “either a sex bomb or a hobo. There’s no in between!”
Her sanctuary Fripps recently became a CIC (Community Interest Company), which is similar to having charity status, and means it is officially recognised as being a “service to the community,” and can receive donations and help with funding.
It now has more than 600 animals, including “loads and loads of ducks,” more than 20 equines, meerkats, skunks and a lot more exotic animals.
“It’s wonderful here,” Jodie previously told The Sun about Fripps Farm.
“It is like paradise, it is like heaven on Earth. It is a proper, proper animal sanctuary.”
Meanwhile, Jodie recently went to court after attempting to adopt eight lemurs at the sanctuary.
The case was adjourned to this year.
