I work out! Jodie Marsh films her new bodybuilding show on Muscle Beach in Los Angeles yesterday

She shocked fans when she entered a bodybuilding competition back in October and it seems Jodie Marsh isn't over her latest career move yet.

The 33-year-old glamour model was spotted filming scenes for her new show at Muscle Beach in Los Angeles yesterday and was of course showing off her muscular figure.

Jodie - who came fifth in the Natural Physique Association Bodybuilding Championships - clearly took a short break from her intensive workouts but was glad to be back on form as she tweeted this week: 'By the way. I'm ripped again. And I'm so in love with my 8 pack :-) Can't stop looking at it in mirror. Haha.'

Showing off! The 33-year-old couldn't resist flexing her muscles on the sand

Proving she's got a lot of discipline, the British star spent a lot of her time dangling from gymnastic rings at the well-known spot situated on Venice Beach.

As she swung around in the sun, Jodie wore a bright pink crop top, black stretchy briefs and matching legwarmers.

Her bright red hair was pulled up in a messy style, and the skimpy outfit highlighted her various tattoos.

Jodie - who became interested in bodybuilding back in 2009 - is filming the new fitness show for the Discovery Channel and was joined by a female fitness instructor who looked just as disciplined as the Essex star.

The blonde woman wore a blue and black striped top as she accompanied Jodie on the equipment and helped her reach her full potential.

Although Jodie was trying her best to remain subtle as she worked out, she couldn't resist striking a few poses on the sand and admitted that she is in the best shape of her life.

Jodie was obviously trying to keep the work trip low key but after being 'chased by five paparazzi' was more than happy to 'let the cat out of the bag.'

The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant seems to be excited about her future in the U.S. and yesterday tweeted: 'Things are def getting better & better. Had a Hollywood agent take me on yesterday. Reckons he can do big things in USA for me :-) #exciting.'

And it isn't the first time that she has worked out Stateside as at the end of January 2010, she was featured on LA Muscle TV in an hour long show called Six Pack in Four Weeks.

Jodie's work on the show, resulted in a photoshoot for Muscle and Fitness magazine, which obviously led to her serious interest in the sport.

Jodie looked completely unrecognisable after undertaking a gruelling diet and exercise regime which saw her go from a size 10 to a tiny size six last year.

Speaking about her new figure at the time, Jodie said: 'This is the best I’ve ever felt, and the best my body has ever felt too.

'I contemplated suicide loads of times': Jodie Marsh breaks down on television as she talks of being bullied at school

By Sarah Bull


Emotional: Jodie Marsh broke down on This Morning today as she recalled how bullies nearly drove her to commit suicide at secondary school


She's spoken previously about her difficulty when she was bullied during her time at secondary school.

But the pain of the bullying is still very raw for Jodie Marsh, who broke down in tears on live television this morning when she recalled she was nearly driven to suicide by the constant teasing at her school.

Jodie, who admitted she was 'terrified' when girls began kicking footballs at her head, made the admissions ahead of her Channel 5 documentary, Bullied: My Secret Past.


She said: 'My bullying at school changed my life. I only do what I do now because of being bullied. I decided to become a model to prove to my bullies that I wasn't ugly.

'After I broke my nose in a hockey accident, they started picking on my nose and then I got called ugly and big nose, dodgy nose and all sorts of things right the way through secondary school.

'By the end of my time secondary school I didn't have a single friend there. I was a complete loner at school. I used to go and hide in the library at lunchtimes.'


Struggling: Jodie spoke about her trouble with bullies ahead of a new documentary that will be airing on Wednesday night

Overcome: Jodie struggled to control her emotions during the interview on the ITV programme

When Phillip Schofield asked her if she had ever thought about taking her own life, Jodie struggled to compose herself before answering - breaking down in tears as she recalled the desperate times.

She said: 'I contemplated suicide loads of times. I wanted to be a vet and I would have gone off to university and done that and that was my plan in life.

'And I was 15 years old when I wrote in my diary that I was going to be a model and prove these bullies wrong - I'd made my mind up at 15.'

Smiling through: Jodie had appeared in good spirits as she arrived at the ITV studios this morning for her interview

And Jodie added that despite her tears, she is feeling much happier about things.

She said: 'I still get abuse now on my own social networking sites, but I'm actually the happiest I have ever been in life.'

Jodie, 33, also revealed that making the documentary was incredibly important for her.

Asked if she had hesitated when asked to do the documentary, Jodie said: 'I didn't hesitate at all. I've wanted to make this show for 10 years because it's so important.'

By Georgina Littlejohn


Scroll down to watch the trailer for her new show...

The first step: Jodie Marsh at the beginning of her transformation which showed the start of muscle definition on her stomach


She left everyone gobsmacked when she burst back on to the scene a few months ago with a beefy and bulked-up bodybuilder's physique.

But while it might take most people a year or so to develop muscles like that through a tough exercise regime and strict diet, it only took Jodie Marsh two months.

And the former glamour model has shown off the amazing transformation which took her from being toned and trim to big and beefy.


Jodie, 32, has released a series of photos that show, in chronological order, how she looked at the start of her exercise regime to how she ended up just eight weeks later.

With the help of celebrity personal trainer Tim Sharp, she transformed her body into a muscular machine, ready to enter a bodybuilding competition last autumn.


Hard work: As the weeks go on, Jodie begins to get more muscular...

.. until her beefy body is ready for her first professional bodybuilders competition

Jodie's transformation is shown in a documentary that airs next Tuesday night on men's lifestyle channel DMX.

It will show Jodie preparing for the competition with behind-the-scenes footage, laughter, tears and her sheer determination at achieving her goal.

It will also show exclusive interviews from within the sometimes secretive world of Body Building including shocking stories of steroid abuse within the sport.

Jodie was preparing for the Natural Physique Association (NPA) Mike Williams Classic and Pro-Am Bodybuilding Championships which took place n Sheffield last September.

And her gruelling regime saw her not only go from toned to extremely muscular, but she dropped from a size 10 to a tiny size six.

Under the guidance of Sharp, Jodie's eight-week regime saw her sticking to an incredibly strict diet, as well as cutting out nightclubs and all alcohol.

Talking about her new figure, Jodie said: 'In just 50 days I have gone from 25 per cent body fat to 10 per cent body fat, gained 8 pounds of muscle, and lost 20 pounds of fat. In 8 weeks I have achieved what normally takes 6 to 9 months.'

'This is the best I’ve ever felt, and the best my body has ever felt too.'

Jodie ended up coming fifth in the competition, but undeterred, she wowed to get further this year.

She said at the time: 'I’m really happy I’m going home with a trophy. If I can do this in eight weeks, competing against the best of the best in the UK, then what else can I achieve with more training time?

'I’m 100 per cent confident that if I had more time to train I could have placed in the top three and go through to finals. We’ll have to see what happens next year!'
