Jodie Marsh has revealed she's set for a surprise TV comeback after quitting fame to open an animal sanctuary.
The glamour model,45,opened Fripps Farm in Essex in 2020 and has dedicated her life to helping animals - admitting she was a 's**t' famous person in her Noughties heyday and only courted the limelight to make money.
However,with the farm requiring thousands of pounds a month to run and her income slim,Jodie is gearing up for a TV return in order to raise awareness and donations for the cause.
Speaking to MailOnline,Jodie explained: 'We might have a TV show the pipeline. It's been a long time coming but it's because we needed to find someone who could see the vison.
'It's going to be a cross between Clarkson's Farm and Paul O'Grady: For the Love of Dogs. We've obviously got farm animals but we've also got exotic animals like reptiles,emus,raccoons,monkeys and this is what sets it aside from anything else.'
Jodie was inspired to open Fripps Farm following the tragic death of her mother Kristina in September 2020
Jodie was inspired to open Fripps Farm following the tragic death of her mother Kristina in September 2020.
She explained: 'When my mum got sick,her decline was fairly quick. It was during Covid so me and my dad had to care for her at home because the hospitals had kicked all the cancer patients out.
'It was just horrific. I gave up work and gave up everything to care for my mum. And that was what made me realise that life's too short,watching my mum die in front of me.
'Why would I go and do another TV show or another photoshoot or whatever it is when that's not what I want to be doing in life? That's not what's gonna make me happy.
'What's gonna make me happy is having an animal sanctuary,because it's the only thing I've ever truly wanted. I always knew that was the end goal.'
