Jodie Marsh’s new look might surprise her male fans – the downmarket tabloid’s favourite has swapped glamour modeling for body building. In doing so the 30-year-old has dropped three dress sizes from a size 12 to a 6/8.
But she isn’t finished yet – planning to shed another half a stone and build up even bigger muscles.
Jodie showed off her new look in a photo shoot for this week’s New! magazine. With her toned arms and the rippling muscles in her back, she looked completely different to her former glamour model self. Jodie also showed off her tattoos – of which she has more than 100.
She told New! magazine she ‘was soft all over’ before she began hitting the gym six months ago. ‘Within two weeks, I had definition in my stomach,’ she said. ‘As I saw my body changing, I really liked my muscles and as Tim (her personal trainer) is a body builder it just went from there.’
Her routine consists of a daily three-mile cross-country walk with her dog. And, she says: ‘sex and dancing in nightclubs’. She also works out at the gym with her trainer two to three times a week, using a Swiss ball and doing free weights for an hour in total.
She may even compete on the bodybuilder circuit in the future. ‘I’ve still got loads to go. I might do a bodybuilder competition in August,’ she says.
Jodie also revealed that she is in a new relationship with 23-year-old Ryan Fleming. She was previously seeing her female hairdresser Nina Elley, 26.
