How she did it: The Jodie Marsh Transformation to Bodybuilder will give audiences an inside look at how she achieved her phenomenal new figure


Her extraordinary new body has been the talk of the nation.

And now former glamour model Jodie Marsh has finally given an inside look at exactly how she achieved her body builder physique.

In an exclusive new documentary, the star unveils her grueling regime for the cameras, showing how she trains alongside her coach Tim Sharp for hours every day to create her phenomenal ripped look.


The Jodie Marsh Transformation to Bodybuilder – Her Secrets Revealed will air in two parts exclusively On The Active Channel.

Jodie began her quest for the ultimate six-pack in 2010, spending up to eight hours in the gym per day, and eating a strict high-protein diet.

She went from a size 12 to a size six and lost an incredible 20lb of body fat.

The controversial star showed off her muscular new body when she entered the Natural Physique Association (NPA) Mike Williams Classic and Pro-Am Bodybuilding Championships in October, shocking the country with the dramatic change.

Determination: Jodie started her quest for the ultimate six pack in 2010, training for up to eight hours per day


Her transformation was achieved through an excruciating eight hours a day in the gym and eating a very high protein diet along with protein shakes.

It seems Jodie believes it was all worth it though, and despite having reportedly not slept with a man for two years, claims that her new look has proved a magnet for prospective admirers.

'Women are jealous of my tummy and men too – Men think it’s sexy and are constantly chatting me up,’ she says.

Proud: Jodie insists that she has never been happier with her figure, and the hard work has been worth it


'I have never attracted so much interest from blokes in my life. I am living proof that female bodybuilders do not look like men and we can be attractive and sexy.'

Jodie explains on the show how she has found happiness through bodybuilding: 'When I unveiled my new body, people were like wow she looks amazing, she has worked so hard.'

'All it takes is just a few weeks on a diet and I will be ripped to the max. I have dropped 2 sizes.'

Results: Jodie says that she has dropped two dress sizes, enthusing that she is now 'tiny and rock hard'


'I am so proud of what I have achieved in the gym. I love how I look. I feel like I can achieve anything. I was soft, now I am rock hard with a six-pack,' she enthuses.

Active Channel Presenter, Tim Sharp, persistently praises the achievements of Jodie: 'What a phenomenal body she’s got, ageless and toned.'

'Your body has changed so fast. Within 3 months you have completely changed and transformed your body and stomach,' he tells her.

An improvement? Jodie claims that she feels younger than she did when she was 22, and feels '100 times better'


Tim adds that 'people were quite shocked with the way you looked,' to which Jodie responds: ’I look better now than I did when I was 22. I look and feel 100 times better.'

Jodie is a vegetarian and relies on 'protein shakes everyday’ to ensure she is getting the protein her stomach muscles require to repair and tone.

'My diet is low in fat and high in protein. I eat allot of fruit, veg, corn, protein shakes and improvise with protein shakes such as protein powder ice cream and protein yogurt.'

Mentor: Jodie trains with her coach, celebrity fitness guru Tim Sharp


'This diet really helps me build muscle and lose fat. Whenever I feel hungry I snack on rice cakes, herbal tea, fresh mint tea and drinks lots of water.'

Tim Sharp, who says on his website that he can help you achieve a six pack 'in weeks', worked with Jodie to achieve her dream figure.

He says: 'I can transform your body in weeks NOT months or years! I have 24 years experience as a trainer so your assured to be inspired and you will get amazing results fast.'

Result: Jodie showed off her new figure at the Fitness First gym in Brentwood Essex in August before entering the Natural Bodybuilding Championships


'If you want maximum fat loss in weeks, look no further. The world’s best athletes and celebrities trust me to get them in shape fast.'

The Jodie Marsh Transformation into Bodybuilder will air on Monday, 14 November at 7pm on The Active Channel SKY 281.

That's better! Jodie Marsh covers up her bulked up body in demure purple dress at Michael Jackson DVD launch

By Georgina Littlejohn


Pretty in purple: Jodie Marsh covered her bulky bodybuilder's physique under a chic grape dress as she attended the premiere of Michael Jackson: The Life Of An Icon


Since debuting her new bodybuilding figure to the world a month ago, Jodie Marsh has taken every opportunity to flaunt her muscles wherever she goes.

So it came as some aesthetic relief last night when the former glamour model covered up her ripped physique under a very pretty purple dress as she attended a film premiere in London last night.

Marsh, who is known for her outlandish dress sense, looked very demure in the grape-coloured frock, that ended below her knee and which she teamed with nude peep-toed heels with studded detail.


And although the dress was tight-fitting, it clung to her buff frame perfectly and made her look very feminine.

Her hair, usually scraped back from her face in a high ponytail, fell softly round her shouders, her sleek fringe giving her a much softer look.

Marsh, 32, was attending the launch of the DVD Michael Jackson: Life of an Idol at the Empire cinema in Leicester Square.


Much better: Jodie's muscular arms and many tattoos were still on display but she looked much more feminine in the purple frock

Letting her hair down: Jodie's brunette locks were loose and framed her face as she ditched the scraped back ponytail for a softer do


Clearly a big fan of the late megastar, Jodie, who has a tattoo of the King of Pop on her arm, took to her Twitter page before the event to announce that she was going.

She wrote: 'On my way to Michael Jackson World Premiere!!!!!!! His mum & family going to be there! So so nervous but excited all at same time.'

Later she added: 'I am the biggest Michael Jackson fan in the world and I'm at the premiere with his family. Awesome.'

Standing tall: Her shoulders back, Jodie looked in great shape, her months of hard work and dedication clearly paid off


And, once inside the cinema, she tweeted: 'Oh shit. Premiere hasn't even started & I'm in tears. As a Michael fan this is so emotional!! Everyone here loves him so much!!'

The film, directed by David Gest, covers Michael's tragic life from his childhood up until his death, offering insight from Gest's in-depth knowledge of the late star and his upbringing.


Family: David Gest, who directed the film, and Michael's brother Tito were also at the premiere

Who's that you're kissing? Jodie Marsh wraps her formidable biceps around a mystery man outside Essex club

By Holly Thomas


Amateur body builder Jodie Marsh has been enthusing non-stop about how her muscular new body has turned her into a man magnet.

And if these pictures are anything to go by, she meant every word.

The 32-year-old was locked in an amorous encounter with a clubber outside Nu Bar in Essex last night.


Chance encounter? Former glamour model and body builder Jodie Marsh was locked in an embrace with a mystery man outside Loughton's Nu Bar last night


Giggling as she wrapped her formidable biceps around her mystery man's neck, the model pressed herself up against his chest as she leaned in for kiss after kiss.

Her good-looking catch looked in equally high spirits, smiling as he leaned down to meet her lips.

She was casually dressed in a short sleeveless black dress with a striped skirt and red collar, her feet bare and her long dark hair loose.

The former glamour model also struck a few cheeky poses with a nearby policeman.

Jodie leaned against the officer, raising one leg provocatively as she shot a sultry glance over her shoulder.


Come with me? The pair giggled as they held hands, Jodie not appearing to mind her bare feet on the cold ground


Anyone watching? Jodie and her good-looking catch didn't appear to mind the flashing cameras, and shared a tender hug

The bemused policeman took it with god humour, smiling nervously as the body builder showed off her assets by his side.

Jodie arrived at Nu Bar with her mother and father after watching a friend of hers in a boxing match, but they left early.

Jodie has enjoyed a huge ego boost since taking up her new lifestyle, even seeing an improvement in her love life as a result.


Looking keen: Jodie's companion seemed totally engrossed in their clinch

She told The Sun earlier this month: 'I have never attracted so much interest from blokes in my life. It's been a real eye-opener. For the last two years I went through a complete drought of men.'

'No one was chatting me up. I despaired of ever having a boyfriend, or even a date, again. But since I became a bodybuilder, I've suddenly got about 50 guys interested in me,' she continued.

Jodie, who has dated stars including Fran Cosgrave and Kian Egan, as well as experimenting with the same sex in a brief lesbian phase, added to Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on This Morning today that she has already picked up a few phone numbers from her first championship.

She said: 'I'm single but the bodybuilding men are gorgeous. When you walk into a bodybuilding show you don't know where to look.

'There are these gorgeous men with the best bodies you have ever seen in your life. I took about 5 phone numbers!

The model has also taken advantage of her new confidence to strip off for a naked photo shoot for The Sun, to be revealed tomorrow.

She said of the experience: 'I love feeling sexy and I can honestly say this is the most proud of my body I've ever been. I absolutely love how I look now and would run naked across a crowded street if you asked me to!'


Winning him over? The policeman started to laugh as Jodie clutched her own backside

'A couple of years ago, I hated my looks so much I stopped going out. Magazines had pointed out my cellulite and other flaws to the point where I struggled to take off my clothes if I was with a guy.'

'Then I took up bodybuilding and I've never looked back. Now I'm lean and while I know my body isn't perfect, I'm happy in my skin.'
