On the previous Friday, friends from the celebrity circle such as Nigel Farage and Jessie Wallace backed Jodie Marsh during her hosting of a charity event for her animal sanctuary.

Previously known as a glamour model, a woman aged 46, turned heads at an event in Essex, dazzling everyone in a fitting, emerald velvet gown.

The event took place at Quendon Hall, a popular venue for weddings due to its stunning ballroom and beautiful surroundings.

A group of Jodie’s famous acquaintances rallied behind her for the cause of Fripps Farm in Lindsell. Among them was the leader of Reform UK, Nigel Farage.

61-year-old Nigel was spotted dancing with Jodie, both of them beaming broad grins, clearly having a delightful time on the dance floor.

Actress Jessie from EastEnders was present as well, accompanied by her partner Justin Gallwell, showing a cheerful demeanor.

Jessie, who’s 53 years old, donned a dress adorned with flowers, boasting a deep v-neck and complemented it by wearing high-heels with an open toe design.

During the evening, a packed audience was serenaded by singer Tony Hadley, who captivated them with his hit songs, drawing everyone forward to enjoy his performance on stage.

At the same gathering, Rod Stewart’s son, Alistair, could be seen sporting a Jodie Marsh disguise in a fun and playful manner. Photographers captured him alongside the former model.

A week and a bit since Jodie triumphantly ended a tough court case, she launched her charity event. This was all in the wake of her successful fight to retain the eight lemurs at her wildlife refuge.

Previously popular content of men’s magazines contested the decision made by the local council regarding denial of a permit to keep wild animals at Fripps Farm in Lindsell, Essex.

Last year, Uttlesford District Council rejected the application due to council members’ assertion that she regarded the animals on-site as personal pets, following news of her bringing a baby meerkat and an owl to a pub. Additionally, there were worries about potential disturbances caused by noise.

However, Marsh, who finances the care of over 400 animals, such as emus and reptiles, at her sanctuary using funds from OnlyFans, asserted that she faced negative comments from internet bullies.

Additionally, she mentioned that there were no worries expressed by the Department of Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs regarding the animals under her supervision after their inspections.

Previously recognized for her distinctive belt-style ensembles, Jodie now refers to herself as “happy and the heaviest she has ever been.

The television personality shared with The Sun, “While you may remember me for my former glamour, sex appeal, bodybuilding prowess, and more, today I am simply a farmer and, to be honest, quite untidy.

Jodie mentioned: “The cause of my current weight and lack of a defined abdomen is that I never find the time to eat healthily or even buy groceries. It’s always been like that.

Once upon a time, I diligently prepared wholesome meals daily, but my schedule has become so hectic lately that I can no longer find the time for that practice. Similarly, visiting the gym has fallen by the wayside due to my busy routine. Time seems to be slipping through my fingers these days, and it’s all quite overwhelming.
