Jodie Marsh admits she wants to reverse her glamour model boob job after quitting fame to start an animal sanctuary – but reveals surgeons refuse to operate

Jodie Marsh has revealed she is reversing her breast augmentation surgery, almost two decades after she had her breasts enlarged to a 32GG.

The 45-year-old TV personality made her name as an all-natural glamour model who competed against the cosmetically enhanced Jordan, also known as Katie Price.

However, at the age of 29, she went under the knife after noticing changes in her body, a decision she is now happy to reverse.

Jodie exclusively told MailOnline that she has ‘no regrets’ but she would like to reduce her breast size, but that this has proven impossible.

She explained: ‘I would like to have my breasts reduced, but at the moment I don’t have the time or the money. Also, I can’t find a surgeon who will do it. Everyone says it’s too big an operation and I think they’re afraid of it.’

Jodie explained that she could probably find surgeons abroad who could perform the procedure, but she wanted to have the procedure done safely and ethically in her own country.

Those who agreed to the surgery were told that they would have to remove her implants and leave her with loose skin for nine months before they could have another surgery, which would have left her unable to work at her animal shelter, where she performs hard physical labor.

Jodie continued: ‘I don’t regret having my breasts reduced, but I would like to have them reduced in the future.

“But I think everything happens for a reason, everything is a lesson.

“You’re always learning, and I think everything I’ve been through in my life has gotten me to where I am today. I really believe that everything happens for a reason.”

In recent years, Jodie has completely changed her career, turning her back on fame to run an animal shelter in Essex, opening Fripps Farm in 2020.

Jodie broke into showbiz at the age of 24 with a role in the short-lived reality show Essex Wives.

At the time she was working as a stripper at the gentlemen’s club Stringfellows and soon became a favourite in a men’s magazine.

Jodie has been a vegetarian since she was five and has always had a passion for wildlife. While she was earning thousands of dollars stripping down for glamour photo shoots, she dreamed of working with animals.

But it wasn’t until her mother Kristina tragically passed away from cancer in September 2020 that Jodie felt the motivation she needed to open Fripps Farm.

Jodie explained: ‘When my mum got sick, she deteriorated quite quickly. It was during Covid, so my dad and I had to look after her at home because the hospitals had thrown all the cancer patients out.

“It was just horrible. I gave up my job and gave up everything to take care of my mother. And that was what made me realize that life is too short, watching my mother die in front of me.

“Why would I do another TV show or a photoshoot or whatever if that’s not what I want to do in life? That’s not what’s going to make me happy.

“What’s going to make me happy is an animal shelter, because that’s all I’ve ever really wanted. I always knew that was the end goal.”

It wasn’t a difficult decision for Jodie to step out of the spotlight.

By her own admission, “I hated being famous. If I had money no one would ever see me again!’

Now Jodie is glad she got through the trauma of being trolled, because it set her on the path to opening Fripps.

She explained: ‘In a way I’m glad I’ve been through it all before. I don’t care anymore. If I hadn’t, I might have read the trolls’ comments and felt Now I’m suicidal, while I’m living my dream.

‘I’m in heaven every day. Fripps is my paradise and I am happier than ever.’
