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 Ess-- Wives and consequently a modeling contract.

Jodie
Marsh
was
born
in
From
a
young
age,
Jodie
was
sent
to
an
expensive
private
establishment
known
as
the
Brentwood
School.
While
she
was
a
smart
kid
who
earned
good
grades,
her
school
years
were
made
difficult
by
persistent
teasing
and
bullying.
Jodie
claims
that
it
all
started
when
an
older
boy,
the
most
popular
kid
in
school,
asked
her
out.
She
declined
because
she
wanted
to
focus
on
her
studies
instead
of
her
social
life.
This
event
signaled
the
beginning
of
tough
times
for
Jodie.
Harassment
at
school
shattered
Jodie's
self-confidence.
She
felt
deformed
and
broken,
and
even
went
through
a
phase
of
contemplating
suicide.
Jodie's
concerned
parents
sensed
that
her
crooked
nose
(the
product
of a
childhood
hockey
accident)
had
something
to
do
with
her
problems.
They
offered
to
pay
for
costly
cosmetic
surgery,
and
15-year-old
Jodie
jumped
at
the
opportunity.
While
the
operation
didn't
change
the
situation
at
school,
Jodie's
nightlife
began
to
change.
Her
new
nose
brought
back
some
self-assurance,
and
she
started
going
to
nightclubs.
Jodie
soon
discovered
that
dressing
in a
s--y
manner
and
applying
loads
of
makeup
made
people
pay
attention
to
her.
At
16,
she
used
her
newfound
s--uality
to
hide
her
insecurities,
letting
men
drool
over
her.
The
more
revealing
the
outfit,
the
more
she
felt
in
control.
Still,
the
bullying
at
school
didn't
cease,
and
it
culminated
in a
punch
in
the
face
from
a
male
student
in
her
senior
year.
This
incident
was
the
last
straw
--
Jodie
transferred
to
South
East
Ess--
College
in
Southend
where
she
took
classes
in
media
studies,
English,
and
photography.
With
Jodie's
studies
behind
her,
she
found
work
as a
stripper
where
she
could
continue
exercising
her
power
over
men.
After
a
short
time,
she
was
discovered
by
people
from
the
British
tabloid
The
Sun,
and
was
invited
to
become
one
of
their
legendary
Page
3
girls.
Jodie
jumped
at
the
chance
to
become
famous.
Her
big
break
came
in
January
2003,
when
she
was
featured
on
the
TV
documentary
Ess--
Wives.
This
show
was
about
the
lives
of
rich
women
who
are
both
glossy
and
determined
to
make
it
in
life.
The
show
earned
a
lot
of
attention,
as
did
Jodie,
who
was
both
hated
and
loved
by
the
general
public.
From
there,
Jodie
further
established
herself
as a
glamour
model.
She
made
the
front
page
of
British
magazine
Front
in
August
2003,
and
her
tabloid
appearances
became
almost
daily
occurrences.
In
2004,
Jodie
became
one
of
the
participants
in
the
second
season
of
Channel
4's
The
Games,
a
reality
show
where
celebrities
compete
in
various
sporting
events.
Soon
after,
she
made
an
appearance
on
another
reality
show
called
Celebrity
Penthouse,
where
she
was
locked
in a
house
for
24
hours
with
other
pseudo-celebs.
While
Jodie
enjoys
the
fame,
she
has
discovered
the
downside
to
it.
Not
only
has
she
become
the
arch-nemesis
for
another
famous
glamour
model,
Jordan,
she
also
got
her
own
stalker.
Pop
Idol
reject
Daniel
Webster,
who
once
threatened
judge
Simon
Cowell
on
television,
started
writing
Jodie
letters
revealing
the
harm
he
planned
to
do
to
other
celebrities.
While
this
is
as
far
as
Webster
got
in
Jodie's
life,
she's
had
a
string
of
famous
boyfriends,
at
least
by
tabloid
standards.
They
range
from
club
boss
Fran
Cosgrove
to
male
model
Callum
Best
and
singer
Kian
Egan,
from
the
Irish
band
Westlife.
In
July
2004,
Jodie
became
the s-- expert
for
Zoo
magazine,
kicking
off
the
announcement
with
an
8-page
pictorial.
