As the result of a hockey accident in her childhood, Marsh's nose was disfigured , and during her teenage years at Brentwood School (where she attended with Frank Lampard and Timothy P Hayter) this made her, she claims, the target of bullying which became so traumatic that she considered suicide ^[1].

When Chantelle got married to Preston, as she had dissolved her friendship with Jodie following their time at Celebrity Big brother, Jodie took an opportunity to draw criticism about their marriage as a publicity stunt.

During interviews, journalists commonly mention Jordan in a way to spice their rivalry between the two. As a response Marsh consistently draws comparison between herself and Jordan stating what she can and what Jordan can't do and why she is better than her. During episode 4 of Totally Jodie Marsh, an interviewer for Star Magazine stated that comparison. Her reply was other than that they are models and used to date the same men, Jordan doesn't do charity work, ride a motorbike, do extreme sports, particularly care about animals, isn't a vegetarian, hasn't an IQ of 138, and didn't write her own book, while Marsh states she does them all, despite the fact Jordan counts horse riding as a hobby.^[4] Star Magazine is a magazine owned by American Media Corporation specializing in celebrity gossip and scandals. ...

After the MTV executives left the room, Matt said to Jodie that she had lied and told him that they already knew. MTV decided to proceed with the show despite this development. However, one member of Jodie's staff refused to attend the wedding on the basis that he thought it a sham given Jodie and Matt had lied about their relationship.[4]

Following the wedding, she slaged her PA staff off on her blog by claiming them to be employees of MTV[5]

Apparently Jodie staged the wedding so she could claim freebies and even sold her wedding photos and story to OK magazine. Everything was paid for by sponsors who were mislead into thinking that her wedding was genuine. [6]
