The glamour model was a lads' mag favourite and the ultimate sex symbol when she burst into the limelight in the Noughties.
Yet she revealed that becoming every man's fantasy had its dark side, as she reflected on her tumultous dating history and targeting a string of 'weirdos'. During an exclusive interview with MailOnline, the 45-year-old animal activist explained that she now has 'no time to date' as she's busy running Fripps Farm , yet has no issues taking a man break after a string of bad experiences. Reflecting on her murky dating history, she admitted: 'I think I'm the most unlucky person in love In the whole world.
I have encountered narcissists, gaslighters, woman beaters, sex abusers, child sex abusers. You name it, I've had it.' Jodie Marsh has revealed a crazed fan once duped her into dating him and she has now taken a break from men while she concentrates on running her animal sanctuary Fripps Farm The glamour model was a lads' mag favourite and the ultimate sex symbol when she burst into the limelight in the Noughties (pictured in 2004) Reflecting on one shocking encounter, Jodie recalled: 'One of my exes stalked me so much that he had researched everything about me to within an inch of my life and decided to 'bump' into me at my favourite cafe, where I'd go for breakfast every day.
'He'd read every single interview I'd ever done, watched every single YouTube clip, everything. 'So he knew every single thing to say to me to get me to fall for him. He knew every single part of my life, and he used it in a way that was so clever.
'For example, he knew that years ago me and my friends would bet tattoos instead of money. I f you lost a bet, you had to get a tattoo of the other person's choice. 'Well, the guy had researched me so much - and this wasn't an easy piece of information to find - so when we were in our early dating stage he told me to ignore a tattoo of his because he "got it in a bet.
" 'And I was like, "oh my god, oh my god , I've never met anyone that does that. T his is my soul mate. He's like the male version of me.
'I was thinking he was amazing but no, he had just done his research. Even my mum and dad were fooled. 'And then the cracks started to show and the mask slipped.
He started becoming violent and controlling. 'I found out he was a criminal and had been convicted of multiple crimes and in and out of jail.' Jodie revealed she wished she had used Clare's Law, a scheme set up to let people find out from police if their partner had a history of domestic violence , to learn about his past.
She explained: 'Clare's Law is the most amazing thing. Now I won't date anyone unless I've used Clare's Law to check them before. 'Every time I end a relationship, it gets harder to trust the next one.
They sort of chip away at your trust each time and it gets harder and harder to trust in future.' During an exclusive interview with MailOnline, the 45-year-old animal activist explained that she now has 'no time to date' as she's busy running Fripps Farm For now, Jodie is taking time out of dating and is dedicating her time to running her animal sanctuary. She explained: 'I am done with men.
I haven't got time for a relationship anyway, but I have had a really rough time with men. 'Weirdos are attracted to me but they'll pretend they're normal. They're so desperate to be with me that they'll do anything, they'll put on this big act.
'And then just when you think, "oh, he's amazing, he's so nice", you find out he's a gaslighting nasty psychopath .'

Jodie ended things with her ex Wayne Lennox in January 2019, having brought to an end to her three-year long celibacy pledge, which came after she split from second husband James Placido in 2016. The couple had only been married for eight months, and Jodie publicly confirmed their split in a lengthy Twitter rant in which she claimed he had been making 'monetary demands'. Jodie was also briefly married to Matt Peacock in 2007 for just two months after the pair met on the reality show Totally Jodie Marsh : Who'll Take Her Up the Aisle? In 2008, Jodie also briefly dated female hairdresser Nina and just a year later after their split, she vowed to undergo five years of celibacy.
It was a pledge the star managed to keep when she dated TOWIE 's Kirk Norcross in 2012 for just two weeks, as he later alleged she refused to sleep with him in an interview with Reveal magazine. Jodie was got engaged to DJ David Doyle in 2006 after just 11 days of dating but the couple called it quits just weeks later.

'I barely have time to eat some crisps or shove an oven pizza in let alone shower and put on makeup!' Jodie's energy levels are certainly to be marvelled at when she explains her daily routine at Fripps Farm. The animals - of which there are hundreds when you factor in the birds and reptiles she cares for - require round the clock care. Many of whom - Jodie estimates 80 percent of which - would have been put to sleep if it weren't for Fripps taking them in.
It's a a mammoth task for Jodie and her small group of volunteers, so why doesn't she take on more volunteers? 'You can't just trust any random person,' Jodie explained. 'The only people we accept are people that we know, friends of friends. 'I don't want random people walking into my home and being here all day.
They could be trolls pretending they want to come and volunteer because they just want to get some gossip or they could be fans. 'I've had so many weirdos in my life, including ex-boyfriends that turned out to be utter weirdos or narcissists or psychos or whatever, and so I'm just really, really wary of people.' For now, Jodie is taking time out of dating and is dedicating her time to running her animal sanctuary.

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.' To donate to Fripps Farm, visit www.frippsfarm.
